A neighbour's Masport mower with the dreaded bar blade won't start after it stalled hittng some pine cones. He said it worked fine until then. We checked to see if the crankshaft bent and the centre bolt looked perfectly concentric when I got him to pull the starter.
He claims it started momentarily when he tilted the mower to the left confused. We attempted to start it multiple times in different throttle positions to no avail.
What has likely happened?


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
