I had stopped the motor and flipped it over to clear some wet grass accumulation from the blade, and when I tilted it back on its wheels and went to start it, it decided to lock up. Done that quite a few times before, never had it freeze like that, though. Tilted it backwards after removing the sparkplug, had the Wife stand on the handle to keep it upwards, and got the blade to turn manually. After that, just cranked the pull-cord a dozen or so times with the sparkplug out, then reassembled everything, gassed it up again, and was on my merry way. Air filter is shot due to gas leaking on it, so I had to pick up a new one this afternoon, but other than that it mowed both lawns like a champ. I usually try not to go so long between mowings, since the neighbor's yard will (literally) be waist-high in places, but with rain and whatever respiratory crud is going around, I didn't have much choice. Learned something new about small motors, though, so I guess that's a good thing.RabidAlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035887632706442114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-74214720959344273662013-04-13T19:14:55.336-05:002013-04-13T19:14:55.336-05:00Barbeque sounds good.

Once again I erred and hit "delete" instead of "publish".<br /><br />However the comment was:<br /><br />drjim has left a new comment on your post "Guard Dog Overwatch":<br /><br />Hydraulic lock = pull spark plug, turn over engine.<br /><br />Was it running when this happened? If it was, you're lucky you didn't break what passes for a "connecting rod" in those small engines.

A normally two-hour proceedure (elderly lady's lawn across the street, plus my own) took almost four hours due to VERY healthy yards (lots of rain recently, and had to skip mowing last weekend due to some nasty crud that moved south into my lungs), tipping my lawn mower over the wrong way while trying to clear soggy grass out from the blade area resulted in hydro-locking the engine, necessitating a scramble through Google-ville and some subsequent small-motor maintenance by a non-small-motor-mechanical guy(myself), which ultimately led to an unlocked motor, two mowed yards, one very tired Alien, and an even longer run-on-sentence.RabidAlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035887632706442114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-282331540214643852013-04-13T13:39:59.349-05:002013-04-13T13:39:59.349-05:00OK, with 2 steaks Murph is covered, but what will ...OK, with 2 steaks Murph is covered, but what will <b>you</b> eat?Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402651457453813639noreply@blogger.com
