[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3761256, member: 35036"] A lot of times these days it’s gonna cost as much to get the mower fixed as it would be to buy another. I had this problem 2 years ago, took my 5 year old $400 push mower in for a service, it wasn’t running too well, no power. $120 and 6 weeks without a mower later ($180 in mowing services down the drain), I had a slightly better running mower that could barely do the job. upon replacing it, I decided to try the electric route myself. Bought the cheapest plug in electric push mower from Lowe’s I could get. It worked great, was quiet, and was easy to push around. Very lightweight. But, handling the mower without running over the extension cord was cumbersome and ended up making my mowing job take noticeably longer. I ended up returning it for a good old fashioned ICE push mower again, works great still. Bought the cheapest Honda powered one they have, no self propelling stuff, less weight and things to break. Cheap enough that if it craps out in two or three years I can replace it for roughly the same cost as a major repair. [/QUOTE]
