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.

debt  should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered 
and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed 
lest Rome become bankrupt.  People must again learn to work, instead of 
living on public assistance."
