She helped me with the lawn mowing. So, had to pull out her Honda walkbehind. She thought the battery was down. Tried pull starting it. Usually worked. Think I overdid the starting fluid.
So, I tried it. The Honda has the thing about the shutdown wire being a tad too long. You have to pull it sideways while holding the lever. Did that, and the starter worked and started right up.
Pulled the ancient JD 14SB walkbehind out. Gave it a shot of starting fluid. Fired right up. Thing won't shut down with the "kill" on the throttle. Gotta turn off the fuel and let it run out. Just something I haven't fixed.
Got the lawn mowed. Got a viewing from 3 people a football length away on the cul-de-sac while I walked behind the JD a bit naturally. Silly goofs stared like idiots.
