electricity is conneted. motor seems fine. however i find that switch to control how much elctricity that goes through might be a problem ? starting a month ago, there seem to be power issue, it took shaking and lot of wrestling for it to start. once it starts, it worked fine. but today it was just dead.

Is this a battery powered mower? or one run off an extension cord? Brand and Model # ?

Ordinarily, I'd start off with a list of questions about the power supply, but since youve told us youve had problems over the last month, and 'shaking and wrestling' got it to working, I'd have to say it sounds like a short, most likely in the switch circuit.

I'd start at the handle switch itself... open it up to see if there are any loose connections. If that's good, then go down the wire, and check those connections. Check the wiring itself with a multimeter, to see if there is a break in it.

Check your owner's manual for a circuit breaker location, and see if it needs to be reset.
Most manufacturer's have a phone number or website, you can contact to help troubleshoot the malfunction too.

Good Luck

i have an old electric bike, i took it apart and need to make a gear on the side instead of the bottom of the motor like a 90 degree gear.

Soichiro Honda did that a long time ago with bicycles and lawn mower engines after he dropped out of the eigth grade. That's the most successful drop out I ever heard of.

so yeah i am making a electric go kart for a school project but the problem is i dont know how to power it and i dont want to spend money on expensive motors , so my question was this go kart will be powered by car batteries maybe a max of 4 , and can i use 120volt motor to make to go kart move or will the amount af batteries be too low for it to even budge and i was thinking of useing a electric lawn mower engine will it be able to push like 200 pounds at max? and how fast will it go , and i was also wondering would it be a good idea to just use those little grey looking motors in car engines ? will that go fast with four 12volt car batteries , i was gonna make a gas one before but the engine prices were too high so yeah help me out here i am a total newbie and the frame is gonna be built out of hallow metal pipes and rods so its strong but not too heavy , so tell me what to do and how to do it , electric lawn mower 120v motor , grey car motor or a 120v electric motor??
okay how about stuff i can use from a broken car , can i use the car starter motor to power my go kart with four 12 volt batteries will it go fast enough?

Hey, you know what?? That starter motor will work for on 12 volts, but don't run it too long (a minute at a time maybe) it will develop around 2 horsepower and push your cart around nicely. The starter motor is rated "intermittant Duty" which means you can't run it continuously without burning up. For all you guys that disagree that the starter motor will work remember three things: first it has to be cheap; next it is for a school project (not NASA); third, its gonna be all sorts of fun and a good learning experience for the lad- basically how not to build something but still have fun- OK??

I was wandering if it is possible to take out the battery in an electric pocket rocket and add a lawn mower motor or some kind of motor and turn it into a 49cc pocket rocket? If it is possible is there an estimated cost of how much everything would cost someone could give? thanks in advance

I'm sure that it's possible, but I doubt if it's practical. A lawn mower motor would put you well above the 49cc class by a factor of 3 or more.

It would be far cheaper (and safer) to just buy something ready made.

I have a gokart without a motor if i took an electric lawn mower engone and put it in that could it switch to vertical to herizontal or topsy turvy

No. Get another gas engine for it. Also most electric mower engines are 110 volts.
