Jesus said he does not want me to mow the lawn for the first time this year, even though I hurried through my day as fast as possible to use the fair weather here in southeastern PA to my advantage.

The mower started fine and I filled all the low tires and was ready to go.
But, I was low on fuel.
So I filled her up!

Then she started and went 10 feet and died :)
Clogged fuel filter? NO
Bad spark? Maybe, can't hold plug,depress brake, pull back on blade control and run key all at the same time to see, so I clean the plug.
Position plug next to block where I can see it, see decent spark.

Hit it with Ether, starts and dies.
Anyway after lots of cussing and loosing sunlight, Jesus finally reveals that I have Water in my fuel can.

So, I pulled the fuel line and am letting it drain overnight and will talk to Jesus in the morning and see if I can have his blessing to mow the lawn then.

Meanwhile, he recommended Beer.
Who am I to argue with Jesus?
Thanks,
High Grass Keith

High Grass Keith....LOL

Well Jesus always lets me mow my yard...oh man :cry: Our mower is such a piece of junk. Every year I hope that it won't start but, it does.

The cheapskate inside me says keep it going till it dies.

The part of me who has never owned a Brand New Mower says I hope it dies. I don't change the oil & just add as needed. Maybe this year it won't start? or maybe it will?

Bob...Jesus will you please just leave a new mower on my front door step...zilla

P.S. Along with a Large nice icey style mixed drink?
