I've never tried to fix a self propelled lawn mower before. My knowledge base basically includes cleaning carburetors and replacing fly wheels and snow blower belts/sheer pins.
Model # 20332 serial number 313 042185
Net net, is it isn't driving. The belt is in place and in good condition.
The cable appears to tighten the belt, but I can't be sure how tight it is- I don't want to pull an Elmer Fudd move and turn it over while its running to put my face in.. how do I go about checking to make sure its tight enough. I do not smell any burning rubber so could it be that the belt is either too loose or the gears have sheered off theeth (right? that's just a guess on my part-)
I can manually turn the wheels in both directions.
THe problem started when I accidentally ran over a piece of what I think was plastic twine that got wrapped around the rear axl.
Where do I go next? Any tips?
