Ok, not really, but I had a lawnmower that wouldn’t start. Changed the spark plug, nothing. Removed air filter and poured a little gas in carb, sputtered, but nothing. Removed gas line and drained, cleaned carb, tested the ohms on starter thingy, had continuity, so made sure kill connection was good and then reassembled.
Poured new gas and tried to start, nothing. “F” words flying all over the place. So, drink a beer and light a cig and think about it all. Spark plug I had was given to me by mechanic that wasn’t same part number, but he matched up and said it would work. Put old spark plug back in and pulled the cord.

Yep, it started. Now, I know nothing about lawnmowers, and the only vehicle repair knowledge I have is from trying manuals when certain things go wrong. I started this journey (only 2 hrs) knowing I couldn’t fix it. But after several youtube videos, The DOG is the lawnmower man (not the movie
)
