Mower doesn’t start when hot

With all due respect, you are a freaking idiot!!

 

Check the hoses coming from the fuel pump, take the one off the pulls the vacuum.

 

Take out a plug and check spark. Next squirt some fuel into the carb. Start by narrowing it down to fuel or spark. My mower had some hairline cracks in the hose going to the fuel pump and assume would expand when hot. Had to take valve cover off to pop a new one on (24 Briggs) and in hindsight should’ve threw a connector and new piece of hose and saved some work. Adjusted valves while I was at it on both heads and both needed it after 300 or so hours.

Get back to me in 5 yrs when you need a $500 battery pack

 

More like $200 but ok

 

Guaranteed, most homeowners won’t spend anywhere close to $200 in gasoline, in that battery’s lifetime. And, the gas-powered mower won’t be obsolete, requiring us to buy a replacement.

 

Can I get that guarantee in writing? Planning on changing the oil, plug, or air filter in 3 years?
Some of you guys have your heels dug in so far no amount of logic matters.
Actually...I never even suggested going electric would be cheaper (though it may be). I can tell you from experience it's a way more pleasant mowing experience- clean, quiet, so light the self propelled feature really isn't needed. Easily folds up and stores upright in a very small footprint without stinking up the place or dripping on the floor.

 

Given I worked in the industry and have a friend selling multiple lines of E-products, I see the big picture; not just the one person mowing a postage stamp.

 

So....totally unbiased. Your estimation of the size of my lawn cuts me deeply

 

Trust me, E-products are a regular topic. We both wish they were better than they are. The biggest problem is nearly all of it is made in China, so the quality isn’t there. But, it has to be, to meet market pricing demands. If the mower/equipment was to be at the level of Honda products, the price would be stratospheric and there would be little acceptance. Honda have a huge lineup of E-products coming, BTW.

An easy case to use is a resort/casino complex my buddy sells to. They’ve replaced everything with E-products. They’re bringing in stuff for warranty, roughly every other week. They use a lot of items, daily, so not the average homeowner. Now that the mgmt have seen how quiet, odor-free, and unobtrusive the stuff is, they won’t allow going back to gas. However, the complex and manufacturer are way upside-down in this deal, with both losing money.

There are a lot of opportunities, with health complexes, institutions, schools, etc. But, the E-products currently on the market are subpar. Makita have some stuff on the way that could be the start of something better, though.

 

2T battery chargers?

 

OP should install intercooler.

Sum bitch has sport mode

 

There are a lot better options out there than that one. You might look at Black and Decker’s DeWalt option. Apparently, it was a big hit at the outdoor expo.

Take a guess where that contaminated fire suppression runoff water went

The greatest lie ever sold

 

Not really. The OEMs started putting them on engines because people couldn’t get their heads wrapped around a normal choke anymore. People are just lazy.
