I say you get what you pay for on both of those two products, you will get about three or four years out of them if you keep it in good running order.
I would stand behind Toro mowers, a little more money but worth every penny.
I have a 20 inch Rally push mower with a 3.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine. I havent been able to get the lawnmower to stay cranked for more than 3 seconds without it shutting off. I have changed the spark plug, changed the oil, removed the gas tank and emptied it and put fresh gas in. I have also cleaned the air filter. I have also made sure it was not clogged anywhere. I can prime the engine, pull the cord and it will crank and run for 3 seconds and shut off. Any suggestions?
Locate the fuel bowl that sits between the tank and the carb (the fuel line should lead to the area). Warning: this will make a mess. Do this outside where gas won't hurt anything!
Remove the bowl using a 1/2 inch wrench or socket on the nut underneath it. The bowl can then be pulled straight down but may need a slight twisting motion to get it loose. Fuel should be coming out of the needle valve (thingy that the bowl covers and lets gas into the bowl). There will be a small float, that's usually brass, that you can lift up and down with your finger.
If the float appears level then it is stuck. Gently push it down with a finger tip and hope the fuel starts flowing. If so, flip it up and down to work it loose. If gas still don't come out or is really slow then the needle valve is stuck, the seat is plugged or has swelled closed.
As for the bowl, it may have water or crunchies in it. Clean out the bowl and don't loose the 2 gaskets. One is smaller and goes between the 1/2 inch screw and the bowl- the other is thin and wide as the bowl and sits in the ledge of the bowl to seal it to the carb. A new needle and seat is cheap and can be replaced by a mechanically inclined person.
My lawn mower isn't working it doesn't even try to turn over what could this be? I tryed charging the battery. I also checked the spark plug it seems to be fine. There is gas in it.
Specifications:
- Rally riding lawn mower
- 12 hp
maybe your not heavy enough for the seat there like sensors in the seat and so if u stand up it will shut off (most mowers are like that not all) and u might not be heavy enough to push down the seat
The Conservative Media: Health care reform rally set for Saturday ...
The Conservative Media
This is a platform to comment on local, state and national politics and political news. A special area of interest is the role of corporate media in politics as we move closer and closer to one huge corporation owning all of the media outlets in the country and stifling all independent and critical voices. It will also focus on the absurd 30-plus year Nixonesque political strategy of the “liberal media” lie.
We are aware of the highly organized “tea baggers” and “birthers” stirred up by outrageous lies from the rightwing Washington, D.C. lobbyists groups and think tanks Americans for Prosperity” and “Freedom Works” – the same people behind the fake, Astroturf “tea parties – that have been hijacking Democratic townhall meetings and shouting down the Congressman and anyone who disagrees with them. This is a chance to join in the fight of our lives, and rightwing extremists have been fighting health care reform since 1961 with the introduction of popular Medicare. The rightwing blogs have been abuzz about Service Employees International Union (SEIU) allegedly busing in 100 members to a health care rally in Jackson near the office of U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer , D-Battle Creek. They made the explosive charge that there were “…rented vans and encouraged people to carpool to the event.” They use the usual “thug” labels for middle class working people who dared to band together to get a better shake from their employer, and they are even going as far as to steal the name “Astroturf.”. Oh my God, liberals and environmentalists car pooling to an event to show support for Schauer? Who would have thought that would happen? Working people rallying for health care reform when health care premiums for family plans have increased 78 percent in Michigan since 2000? Somebody better alert the corporate, conservative media. Stop the presses; I’ve wanted to say that since the first time I saw by byline in print. Wow, this is their smoking gun? “…Rented vans and encouraged people to carpool to the event.” Wow. I’m stunned. I guess that dispels those polls that say 70 percent of Americans want health care reform is bunk, or that that the overwhelming victory in November when health care reform was a campaign issue was a fluke. Union members – regular working middle class people, not thugs – want health care reform, and it’s their union dues that paid for the van, if that story is true. It wasn’t money from the $1.4 million a day the insurance lobby is spending to kill real reform through rightwing lobbying groups like “Americans for Prosperity” and “Freedom Works.” If this fails, the health insurance companies will continue to line their pockets at the expense of good medical care for the middle class, and if this passes, the majority of the 50 million U.S. citizens with no access to health care will be covered. The right is complaining about working people pooling their money to get out and fight back against misinformation, showing their support for a cause they have been fighting to gain for the past 50 years and to stop the shouting down of Democratic Congressman? Just sad. Some of these are paid for by the Canadian government, since it is cheaper to use existing American resources than to provide their own...which means their costs would be higher in Canada if they couldn't rely on this supposedly terrible system in America. But even then, one patient interviewed in the story had to come up with $51,000 of his own money to cover expenses. The first part of the sentence is true, “Canadians wait no longer than Americans for health care.” However, I was unaware of this agreement between Canada and Michigan. But it certainly is not because Canadians are paying out of their pocket so they can get health care. It’s simply a referral. It seems to work well for both sides. Hospitals know for sure they will be reimbursed just like Medicare patients, and unlike with private insurers and the uninsured. I certainly can handle the truth, Col. Jessup, on the rare occasion you present some. And I admit mistakes when I make them. Like I said before, people crossing to border hospitals are not crossing over to “gain access to U.S. health care.” They already have access to Canadian health care, and they are taking advantage of a nearby asset to help with the under funded Canadian system. The agreement between US hospitals and Canadian health care may be a good agreement for both sides. But you ignore, or can't understand, the underlying truth: Canada has to rely on the U.S. health care system -- which you roundly criticize -- because Canada hasn't got the resources. You admit Canada's system is "under-funded" so to provide services, it has to rely on U.S. If U.S. had same system as Canada, then where would people go? You blithely state that all U.S. hospital work on Canadians is covered by Canada's national health care when the freep story says just the opposite. And for one patient, who got life-saving treamtment over here that was initially denied in Canada, the Canadians eventually covered $200,000 in costs...and that patient had to come up with another $50,000. I'm not saying that's good or bad. It just "is." 300 is a lot when you were saying there were absolutely zero. And 300 comes out to 6 a week, which is a pretty decent number for one hospital in one city...again, you were saying there were no Canadians crossing the border. And you ignored the $1 million in heart care provided for Canadians in another hospital. Why is it that Canada can't provide these critical services? And what about the 146 emergency neurosurgery cases in New York and Michigan that Canada couldn't handle? They may have paid for them (or not, I don't know), but they didn't have the resources to do them. Had it not been for the U.S. system that you malign, those people would have died waiting for Canadian care that doesn't exist. I'll assume the second "Canada" was supposed to be U.S. Even so, your sentence makes no sense. You say "there are no wait time issues" but then you say they aren't as bad as in U.S. You contradict yourself in a few words. Are there or are there not wait time issues in Canada? If not, then are you saying the Windsor hospital adminsitrator and the Canadian Journal of Surgery are incorrect? If so, how do you support your claim? And why is Canada prioritizing health care in order to deal with wait time? And why are there wait time issues in Sarnia and Hamilton? I don't recall saying Canada had a bad system. I do recall listing problems with it; I can list problems about U.S. system as well. But I don't recall calling it a bad system. If you can show me that I did, I'll acknowledge it and retract that statement. But your statement alone isn't enough. After all, you are the guy who said that Canadians never cross the border for health care. And then you said you never said that. And then you said you did say that but then you added qualifications and then...oh, never mind. Show me where I said Canada had a bad system....Repairing Lawnmower by Andrew Caxton 720-298-6397
