    Fiskars StaySharp Max Reel Mower kzread.infoUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend This is what all push mowers should strive for. It was easy to push. It cut the lawn. The blades are sharp, very sharp. The one minus that everyone should be aware of is you need to be very careful taking the cutting unit out of the box. There’s a plastic guard so you don’t cut fingers as you take the main unit out of the box but it’s not taped down. As I took the unit out, I ended cutting a piece of my shirt. The plastic guard moved and my shirt touched one of the blades.

    Prably will shut off after a bit. Need to replace the cheap hydroelectric powernator. Also might be water in fuel system. So check the injectors. It’s a 6hp so there should be 6 injectors total. The others should be under the hood. And the last two under the mower by the blade. Use self propelled spark plugs. To get it going with no problem in the morning use diesel in ur coffee.

    Check if it has "spark" by pulling the spark plug off and grounding the side of the SP as far from the hole as you can . Then crank it. You should see spark on the plug. If it does have spark, then it is definitely your fuel somewhere. If not it is probably the electronic ignition coil control under the flywheel. That's another story.
