1st post!
I am a long time LB guy and just picked up this used Honda for my F-I-L. The electric start only engages every 10 times you try to use it. You can hear the starter motor spinning every time. It's almost like there is a solenoid driving a pinion gear that doesn't always engage. I have yet to take it apart, but I noticed Honda sells the unit as a complete starter, with no serviceable parts. Please correct me if that's not the case.
When it does catch it will start. If the mower is hot it chugs like a high compression motor and doesn't want to start. Am I having a battery issue as well?
Pull Start works great, and it runs like a champ after an oil change and some fresh gas.
MCCG-8864222 if that helps.
