Ok folks, I need help solving a problem.
I have trouble cranking things. No matter how easy something is to
crank, my arm just isn't up for it. On some little engines, like the
weedeater, which requires a short stroke pull, I am okay for a few
pulls, and since it usually starts on the second or third pull, that's
good....however, the lawnmower is another beast entirely. The Snapper
mower is a snapper alright...the cord snaps back violently almost
jerking my shoulder out.
How can I bypass this problem. Has anyone ever rigged a contraption
that will pull the start?
I really need to mow today and all the neighbors are gone. I have 5
hours of mowing to do and it looks like it will break out into rain any
second. I'm frustrated.
