Hello,
I am new to the forums, thanks in advance for any help.
My Black and Decker Corded mower quit running. I had it stored in a relatives shed while I was away in the Navy. They said they used it a couple times and then it just quit. I asked if they hit anything, or if there was a smell when it quit and they said no. These are trustworthy folks so they would have told me if they damaged the mower.
I plugged it in and surprisingly it started, it ran for about 2 mins then stopped. No electrical burnt smell and I was in shallow grass. After doing research I found that commonly the switch at the flip handle goes bad, so I ordered it ($25.00). It got here today and I replaced it, being very careful to remove one wire at a time and attach it properly.
Re-assembled the flip switch and still nothing. I am a disabled Navy vet who can't afford a new mower, my income is very limited. If there are any other common fixes for this mower please let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated. The mower is about 10 years old and has had light use it's whole life.
