So I was mowing my lawn, and my mower quit. It was about 15 minutes before the rain was to start, and I had 1 acre left to get done (Would take about 5 minutes on my rider or about 1 hour with a push mower of any type).
I tried everything I could think of to get it running again. Cranked. Checked spark, oil, even checked compression..... Guess what I forgot..... Apparently, it uses this dangerous highly explosive and flammable liquid commonly known as Gasoline. Apparently, the resovour that contains this dangerous liquid (A paper thin plastic tank of all things....). In my haste, I seem to have forgotten that this ancient style machine doesn't refuel via power outlet in it's "downtime" like my car, leaf blower, weed wacker, and every other piece of equipment do.......
What a day...
