I bought a piece of shit lawn mower on Marketplace!

I posted the links to Walmart. They have mowers on sale right now free shipping. Like 100 bucks off.

I've been seeing a lot of sales lately to be honest. I think most of the inflation was companies trying to recover costs the took during covid and not real inflation. Just greedy fucks.

Turns out people just stopped buying shit at those prices. So now they are going back down.

Drill or ream out the jets just a touch oversize. Let it run rich - EPA got all stupid about lawn mower "emissions". Who cares - it's a lawn mower. Make sure the airflow is clear and possibly advance the spark a bit. Start it with a cordless drill so you don't knock yourself out with the stupid recoil starters.

I'm cutting the grass as we speak!

The John Deere F710 front mower is purring like a kitten!

That should make OP feel better. lol

:thiss:

Get a set of numbered drills from horror freight. Then find the one that just fits and open it to the next size drill. It doesn't seem like much but it's plenty believe me. The mower will love it.

wtf is marketplace?

When I was 11 I rebuilt a 3 HP briggs & stratton on my minibike. If I could do it at 11, surely an adult can figure it out.

It aint about figuring it out. It's about wasting more money on a piece of shit motor. When you can buy a new one for about the price and time of fucking around with it.

Or it could be as simple as corrosion on the spark plugs wire or it's slightly disconnected but the boot appears to be on.

Retard.

Cheap mower buyers are always tards.

Only a tarded motherfucker would buy a $50 eBay special lawnmower and expect it to run for longer than 30 seconds.

Buy a Honda four stroke you tardy cheap ass tard.

So OP is just stupid.

Understood. I'd been pissed if I was stupid too.

Fill it with tannerite and shoot it.

STFU mate.

You don’t even need that part of your leg anyways…

30 years ago I bought a SCYTHE for 12 bucks at a flea market.

Lawn mowers {and other small engine yard equipment) are engineered to stop working, manufactured obsolescence, but it's different because they know when the owner would be the most unhappy for it to stop working. It's just another way the system is designed to condition us into being bitter, desperate humans when all we're trying to do is keep our yards neat and there's no reason said equipment should stop working, other than to force you to upgrade and hold a resentment. I'm currently working through a resentment with a lawnmower i bought used in great condition that worked when i bought it and out of the shop after a total of like 3 total "mow jobs". Your options are:
1.Spiral
2. Claim your newly earned victim status and develop your identity around it.
3. Sell it to someone saying it works it just needs gas, and discount them $10 so they can fill it up on the way home or buy a gas can. In other words, screw someone else over.
4. Bust that bitch into a million pieces
5. Work towards it getting fixed, so calling the seller, looking it up online, troubleshoot it and try to fix it yourself, and if not take it into Ace hardware, and if it's worth the fix, have them fix it, if not, buy another one. a push mower works great, hard to break and small enough lawns are done quite easily, no motor, no nothing but some rolling blades.

In other words, you weren't forced to buy it and if you already tried to get your money back, then don't expect to get any help from the seller. grab your sack and accept that you either got scammed or you didn't and were a dick to tell him you want your money back but either way, you need to own it. And if you need to figure out your options by coming on here, you have no options. You lost money. and need a lawn mower. your title isn't
"Marketplace sold me a broken lawn mower and told me it wasn't but held a gun to my head"... it is "I BOUGHT A PIECE OF SHIT LAWN MOWER ON MARKETPLACE. Figure it out .

Son of a bitch!

I was going to type a response, and then I thought "Good Troll!" Screw it OP!

Next time buy a new one with a US made Briggs and Straton engine. Change its oil when it gets dark. The rest of the mower will rust out before the engine quits.

This guy probably didn’t tie his own shoes until graduating kindergarten

best advice yet...CLEAN IT.
something is dirty and fouled up somewhere so clean that carb~

Or it simply has old, bad gas in the tank.
Drain the tank and put fresh gas in.
That usually dose the trick with POS new mowers.

try using a little Tannerite.

Some Chinese motors you cannot remove the needle from the carburetor. They have no provision to adjust the needle, they are junk when they are new.
