I’m broke I’ll try what you say I Like fixing everything but the lawnmower I just feel like grabbing the thing and dump it HONDA LAWNMOWER I BOUGHT NOT SO HAPPY WITH IT I ONLY USE IT 5 times and is only to trim since my craftsman tractor does the heaviest job and has never abandoned me like this lawnmower….. There is obviously something either wrong with me or the lawnmower 😡 ….cont’d….. THERE WAS SKNETHING WRONG WITH ME 😂 fixing cars is a little different than small engines I DID WHAT YOU SAID YOU WERE RIGHT I I tighten it instead and at the same time ADJUSTED THE SELF PROPELLER CABLE which wasn’t working ether and IT ONLY TOOK ME 3 MNTS … THANK YOU..THANK YOU….THANK YOU🌈🌈🌈🇨🇦to the person that posted the video as well Mick’s mowers for leaving this free millionaire comment
One thing of note here, it’s probably not the switch that’s on its was out. Likely the cable just got a bit stretched. You can adjust the cable tension and it likely woulda fixed your issue.
If you ain't getting spark... Rule that system out. Your probably newer based off how you came to the solution. Engines need fuel, air, spark and compression. I usually first chance spark, if it's good. Dump some fuel down the cylinder and see if it fires off. If it does you got compression and air. All that's left is fuel which 99% is just dirty jets in small engines. Once you do it a few times it's a walk in the park. Glad you where able to get to the sourse of your issue. That is the ground switch, if it's not working right and pushed in (pull the bar) I would see if your cable is worn first.
Honda really needs to make a move to stay in the game and lighten up all of their push mowers and self-propelled mowers because they are the heaviest thing on the market for the past 22 years.
good troubleshooting man! good to see people working on their own stuff
Thanks bud! Always good to know how your stuff works.
All you had to do mate was unscrew the dead man's cable three turns and it would have extended the cable..
Hmm lol didn’t think of that!! I assumed that switch was on it’s way out.

The fuel switch is off. That's what gets me.

All you do is twist the cable and it gets closer to the kill switch free fix
Thank You and Happy New Year

Finding out so many things that could be wrong with my free (but looks new) craftsman mower with Honda engine
Just been the lever metal on the switch a little bit toward the swivel
Yep, while I had it open I decided to just replace it but you could also bend it for sure.
Bending the tab outward won’t help make up the difference. You need to adjust the cable.

Quality doesn’t come light
Good Mechanic Think.Richard.
yeah when theres a problem involving the flywood their surely wont be any action
I think thats what's wrong with mine too!!
Well aren’t you a parts replacer… hope you keep your old parts cause it seems like many of them are still usable
What model is that mower?
So no update ? Did you ever get it to work ?
Working great, switch was the issue
Replaced everything before finding out a blob of weld could fix it. Typical lol... - Detroit
Simple micro switch messing up a good day. Glad the fix was cheap though
it wasnt though, all the things he replaced would have been pricey
Fly wood 🪵
Replace it? Whyyyyy
Disposable money.
