Hello,
I changed the oil in my mom's mower today -- along with sharpening the blade, new plug, and new air filter. When I was done I took it for a quick test and it ran and sounded great -- UNTIL I turned it off.
When the engine slows down it sounds like there's a bell inside (a "ting, ting, ting" sound).
I rarely use this mower so I don't know how long this noise has been happening.
In the video you can hear the sound as the engine slows down, after I turn it off.
Then I pull the cord numerous times just to turn the engine and reproduce the sound -- I intentionally don't have the start lever down when pulling on the cord -- to I prevent the mower from running. Because once it's running it sounds normal.
Is this thing on it's way out?
Thanks for all the help!
