looks like some duct tape and sharpen would not cure, that is an example of a person who should not won a mower.

StarTech, luck that shock did not fry you like chicken in deep grease, I actually removed the kill wire and tested one to fire on the last repair job and another engine the fire looks like a snake wiggling in the grass, and that was a john deere OEM Kawasaki, this has been the year of the coils...
