    Champion genset starts and runs with battery, but not with recoil start

    like so many, it appears the poster wants to keep everyone in suspense, ho-hum . . . . . 😙

    No more income taxes for 4 years

    all my life I've heard said time and time after time, "Someone" should do something!". Well, that time and someone are here. We the People, are the only ones truly too blame. The power of the vote and protest are ours to do with as we please .... jmo

    No more income taxes for 4 years

    could have fooled me, there have been times when she's just helped herself to my pocket money, just like our government does . . . . .

    Mower bogs down too much

    my comments weren't meant as personal digs, just reality check. Early on I never really thought it was all that big a deal until a dealer pointed out that the engine housing can get just as clogged up as a mowing deck. That woke me up and I started doing that cleaning every time and not just a...

    No more income taxes for 4 years

    that depends largely on who you're married to, my wife is more frugal than me so no problem at all ....

    Mower bogs down too much

    no excuse for letting it get like that when the engine is totally accessible with an air hose or water hose. My IS2600 gets totally cleaned after each mowing. Radiator screen gets pulled and cleared as well as the radiator cleared of silt and crude..... pay me now or pay me later.....

    Champion genset starts and runs with battery, but not with recoil start

    that is generally true; however, the poster says: "It has NEVER started by pulling the rope, not since we bought it.". that said I'd guess (?) there might be a severe rust build up . . . . . easy to check that first then move on to something more severe. jmo

    Champion genset starts and runs with battery, but not with recoil start

    I'l start by asking what is the actual make of just the engine on this generator? Then I'll say that if it's starting via the electric battery then listen to echo what "slomo" stated in post #2.... I'll finish by saying that there's probably rust on the fly wheel and/or the armature preventing...

    Broke my mower, dang!

    if I were in an HOA the association would be furious with me for turning my worthless Gravely ZT2148XL into a planter.... but it gives the place a different look!

    Broke my mower, dang!

    uhmm, your second mistake was buying an electric mower. Your first was moving into an HOA; but, we all have our burdens to carry.... Now, get out there and get some exercise!

    Don't shoot the messenger...

    this happens when businesses seek out cheap labor, to appease stockholders and customers. Quality costs, and as Fram says, "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later." For 30 years I was a loyal GM buyer, until the day their HQ Customer Service VP told me, (and I quote) ....your oil leak from...

    Don't shoot the messenger...

    as far as I'm concerned, the American consumers have only themselves to blame for the cost of products. They willingly pay $1k for a dang cell phone, another $300-400 a month for serves and app's, etc,. $500 +/- for Taylor Swift tickets, $300 +/- for sporting events, $250 for some felons'...
