Another thing that can be overlooked is the starter safety lockouts - on my old craftsman the starter will not work unless: 1) The clutch/brake fully depressed. 2) The mower deck is disengaged. Also, there's a "Deadman" switch in the seat, the engine is killed if you vacate the seat. Pat

Shop vacs usually have universal ac/dc motors, with brushes, and the associated sparks. Don't squirt any chemicals into them, unless you want to be surprised as I was.
