I am having problems with my dad's Cub Cadet lawn mower that is roughly 5-7 years old. Last year when he tried to start it it would not start on the first pull as it has its entire life. On his second pull he says it pulled the starter rope back with a ton of force.
We took it to a repair shop at 16th and Post and they said the compression test says the motor is dead.
I know next to nothing about if it could be rebuilt or if it really is trashed. I guess for what ever reason I was kind of hoping it wasnt junk as it has been a really good mower untill this happened.
Anyone have any thoughts?
The motor is similar to this one
Kawasaki Engines and Power Products - Engines - FJ180V
(i do not have the exact model number with me)
