Lawn Mower Saga Ends

You may recall that my new lawn mower took a powder earlier this year. We tried to fix it but only seemed to make it worse. I thought we'd ceased the motor. We took it to Dave Boeckermann as junk. He needed a lawn mower body for a motor that still worked. Good riddance.

Well the other day Ellie shows up at my door declaring she has my lawn mower. I reminded her that I didn't' have a lawn mower anymore. She said I did indeed. Evidently we didn't cease the motor and Dave got it to run just as we had (run - quit - run - quit - push the primer - run - run - quit). So he did the same thing we did, replace the diaphragm (don't have carburetors anymore). After he fixed it, it still did the same thing. Wouldn't run. So my friend Ellie went online and found out that the motor had a two year warranty. She loaded it up and took it to the doctor. They fixed it and according to the invoice she gave me, they didn't charge her anything. Holy Hanna there's my lawn mower all fixed up! Used it last night. Works like a charm. I can't believe Ellie went to all that trouble to fix that mower. And then she brought it back. She could have kept it. I had given up all rights of ownership. Thanks Ellie and Dave. I think I owe you a mower. Oh and thanks for the new spark plug. I had removed it. One thing though, you may have overlooked that it was out of gas.
