"STATUS" of Lawnmower Maintenance

LOVING THE "STATUS"

...of Lawnmower Maintenance

While cutting grass early in the summer, our aging lawnmower began sputtering.  In response to the stalling, I quickened my pace, hoping to finish the task before the engine quit completely.  In my haste, the mower ran over and exploded a tennis ball; but, much to my pleasant surprise, the explosion IMPROVED the engine's condition and caused the sputtering and stalling to cease.  Wow!

Now, with the coming of fall, I'm considering a THOROUGH TUNE-UP for the lawnmower.  I could pay for the qualified, repair services of a small engine mechanic, but finances are tight, and that leaves me with the only verifiable, "do-it-yourself" option that I am aware of:  tennis ball explosion.  How silly of me!  For a THOROUGH ENGINE TUNE-UP, I could just aim for a basketball.
