Me? Stubborn?

Got the lawnmower working again, just plain bloody-minded keep-cranking refusal to give up. I will _assume_ the fuel-line cleaner loosened up some crud from either the float valve or the carburetor needle.

I got it so it would almost idle, left it running, cranked it again when it quit, ran the throttle up and down, cranked it again, ad nauseum. Then, that magical last time, I cranked it at high throttle, it started, it started to sputter, and then it caught and ran smoothly at full speed. It even started properly after I shut it down. Several times.

Let's hear it for small victories!

So anyway, I don't have to go out shopping for a way to waste $$$ on the stupid effing lawn....

You could always buy a goat and a tie-down line, Jim.

Goats prefer to eat the shrubbery. They're browsers, not grazers.

(Besides, I live about a half mile from City Hall. There are Rules about farm animals in the R-2 zone....)
