Won't crank over, quit in middle of mowing
If your mower won't crank over and quit in the middle of mowing, there could be several possible reasons for this issue. Here are some common troubleshooting steps you can take:
- Check the Fuel Level: Ensure that there is enough fuel in the mower's tank. If the fuel level is low, it might not have enough fuel to run.
- Inspect the Spark Plug: A fouled or damaged spark plug can prevent the engine from starting. Remove the spark plug and inspect it for signs of fouling, such as deposits or a worn electrode. Replace the spark plug if necessary.
- Fuel Quality: Make sure you are using fresh, clean fuel. Old or contaminated fuel can cause starting problems. Drain the fuel tank and replace it with fresh fuel if needed.
- Air Filter: Check the air filter for dirt and debris. A clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, affecting its performance. Clean or replace the air filter as needed.
- Check for Obstructions: Inspect the mower deck and the blades for any obstructions or debris that could be preventing the blades from turning freely.
- Safety Switches: Most mowers have safety switches that prevent the engine from starting if certain conditions are not met (e.g., the blade engagement lever is engaged, the seat is not occupied). Check these safety switches to ensure they are functioning correctly.
- Battery: If your mower has a battery, check its charge. If the battery is low or dead, it might not provide enough power to crank the engine. Charge or replace the battery as necessary.
- Ignition System: Inspect the ignition system, including the ignition coil, for any visible issues. If there are problems, such as damaged wires or connections, they may need to be repaired or replaced.
- Fuel System Issues: Problems with the carburetor or fuel lines can also cause starting issues. Inspect the fuel system for any clogs, leaks, or other issues.
- Examine the Oil Level: Ensure that the oil level is within the recommended range. Low oil levels can lead to engine damage and difficulty starting.
If you've gone through these steps and the problem persists, it may be best to consult the mower's manual or seek the assistance of a professional mechanic to diagnose and address the issue.

How much a person should get paid and hours for raking leaves?
Hi Joe
It depends who is doing it. Minimum wage for a kid or a little bit above for an adult cash job. Landscapers will want about $35 - $60 per hour per operative.
In my townhouse complex of 35 homes, the landscapers are charging $1,800 a week, usually a team of 4 and it takes an hour and a half. Prices in Canadian dollars.

Chainsaw chain rotates when starter pulley is pulled, why?
20" is long for a saw that size but that in itself didn't cause the issue. What matters is proper chain pitch/gauge and length (link count). According to the manual it's 3/8 pitch .050 gauge chain and by extrapolating link count, it should be 68. But that's assuming original drive sprocket pitch/gauge.
Remove the bar and chain. The clutch/sprocket should spin freely. Check the bar didn't make contact with the sprocket which would imply the chain tension wasn't maintained.

Countax c550 loss of transmission and cutting deck.
The owners manual shows 5 fuses. Remove and check each fuse for continuity.
Is the CHARGE indicator lit while engine is running?... regardless check battery voltage with a DMM. With engine running at medium throttle battery voltage should be >13.0VDC. Less than 12.6VDC implies charging system and/or battery failure. Less than 12.0VDC and electronics may not work properly.
The wiring diagram is included in the owners manual available no fee at the following URL.

I have an automower with message Pin Code Expired
This is usually due to the contact for the stop button not working. Normally, the message "Pin Code Expired" is replaced by "Enter Pin code" when you press the stop button to access the keyboard. If the stop button doesn't work, the mower thinks the keyboard cover is still closed and therefore continues to display "Pin code expired".Open the large lid (the one that gives access to the mowing height selector) and look near the stop button, there's a small rectangular thing connected to a wire and held in place with a metal clip. Take off the clip with some flat object like a screwdriver, then take out the rectangular thing, which has a tiny button on it. Press the button a few times to unstick it. You should now see "Enter pin code" on the screen. Put everything back the way it was, and you should be all set.By the way, I know this question was posted in 2010, I'm posting the reply to help others googling for this question. I saw some people actually had their motherboard replaced unnecessarily for this simple problem!
