    3) safety handle properly depressed (if required)

    That's one I forgot too, Drummer Boy. It's because I have a safety handle also, but I have it taped to the bar, because it's a pain in the a$$ to start with the damn thing in the way.

    Thanks for that one.

    hahahahahaha.....what nails???

    Me? Nope, no nails. I mean, I have nails. Just not pretty ones.

    Not anymore.

    I gave up. Now, they're short and stubby. Ready for gardening stuff and lawn mowing....although, my husband would prefer that I do not.

    BSoM LOL nah I gave up my manicured nails for changing bicycle tires and never went back. Right now my simi polished nails (I can't believe I actually polished them a couple of weeks ago) have paint spots on them from painting our house and dirt under them from gardening. I'm really not a sissy....really I'm not!

    Bicycle tires? Oh man...I tried messing with a bicycle Chain for little one a couple weeks ago and dang, I could Not make that work!!! Greasy mess.

    So anyway, you sound like you have the nails of a real earth goddess! WooHoo!!

    On the cement, choke is good, etc, etc., .....my arm just isnt' strong enough....that was my point...why in the hell are girls not taken into consideration.

    The damn mower is only 2 years old, yet, it takes my son (who isn't home) or my Husband (sound asleep) to pull this damn string hard enough to get it started?

    Too late now, it's black as pitch out there, and I've got laundry to do tomorrow, so one of the special boys will have to do the job I was willing to do tonight.

    Sorry about your predicament.

    For what it's worth......

    My wife is a full-blooded Norwegian, two inches taller than Lucy Lawless. She's plenty strong enough to start the Lawn Mower, but can't.

    It's not strength, it's technique. Like throwing a baseball real hard, it's not done just with the arm but with the whole body.

    Restrangled, you don't happen to have any sheep around, do you?

    Seriously, tomorrow, when someone else cuts the grass, watch them start the mower. I think you are very close to getting it started, and may find out what your problem is with starting it, whether the machine, or "pilot error".

    I suspect it's because the majority of shareholders in lawnmower manufacturing companies are female. They don't want to mow lawns, and deliberately build machines without electric starters so they can nag their husbands into doing it.

    C'mon, even my BBQ has a push button starter!
