You will think this about the stupidest answer you will see here.

Many years ago a friend of mine, brought a mower over, saying it was hard to hard to like yours. Every time I pulled it about rip my fingers off. He told that he was getting ready for spring, cleaning air filter, clean plug, oil change and sharpen the blade.

I did get it started, but about killed me. Took out it deep grass, and the darn thing would run but not cut any grass. Push it back in the garage, to check the blade and discovered that he forgot to put the blade back on.

Vertical shaft lawn mowers need a blade to start easy, unless they have a cast iron flywheel.

Just thought I would pass along a true story. Did you forget yours?
