Great story, trkyhntr. It would be interesting to know what special mechanical attention the TV Eager One was given to always start the first time. Whenever I stopped mine briefly and then restarted it while it was still hot, it always started the first time .. so I suspect the TV model had been running during the entire 2nd quarter prior to the dramatic halftime start. Meager One .. that's clever.
My second Sears mower had a fuel primer diaphragm, and pressing it several times always assured a first-pull start. I'm hoping for the same good fortune with the new one.
I once knew a divorced lady who took care of all the yard work when she was married, and enjoyed doing it. She told me that for one of her birthdays, her husband gave her a new Lawn Boy mower. It seemed to be one of her most prized possessions. <g>
