Thank you! I changed fuel filter, spark plug, coil, cleaned the carburetor, and finally found this. Now it runs like a champ. Thanks again for sharing the info

@thangknowa3288 says:

Similar happens when the cable wears and stretches creating too much slack, or wears out the conduit and binds the cable – new cable fixes that when they get hard to pull.

@jmead6121 says:

Seems like al ot of problems with these engine, Honda. Ive seen many videos

@syl764 says:

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

@lifehealth489 says:

yeah when theres a problem involving the flywood their surely wont be any action

@pineappleboi27 says:

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.

@joseph2367 says:

All you do is twist the cable and it gets closer to the kill switch free fix

@cedricwilson2055 says:

Simple micro switch messing up a good day. Glad the fix was cheap though

@andrewchristiansen8311 says:

Replaced everything before finding out a blob of weld could fix it. Typical lol… – Detroit

@jmabs5096 says:

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.

@wiborg344 says:

What model is that mower?

@Strohat8 says:

Finding out so many things that could be wrong with my free (but looks new) craftsman mower with Honda engine

@jennifergarcia-mr6xx says:

So no update ? Did you ever get it to work ?

@dirtyaznstyle4156 says:

Well aren’t you a parts replacer… hope you keep your old parts cause it seems like many of them are still usable

@philliphall5198 says:

Thank You and Happy New Year

@rabayl01 says:

Good Mechanic Think.Richard.

@combatengordn1731 says:

good troubleshooting man! good to see people working on their own stuff

@waynecartwright9478 says:

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.

@themowerman says:

All you had to do mate was unscrew the dead man's cable three turns and it would have extended the cable..
