For the price, this mower was not a good buy. It only lasted 3 years, and in that time I had to replace some of the handle hardware that broke. In the end the motor appears to have burned out. I gave up my electric experiment and bought a gas powered mower. I have never been happier.
My mower has started sparking at the brush heads and will not run at full power. I replaced the brushes but it appears the magnet ring is the problem. There appears to be some black soot on the ring itself. Is that an indication that this is the problem? It also gives that telltale, electric burning smell when it runs. I'm not sure I want to spend $70 on a new ring at this point. Time to throw the mower in the dumpster.
My mower cuts out and if I move the power lever around I can get the mower to run again. It seems to be in the switch and I'm not sure if I should buy a complete power switch assembly or just the switch. Will the switch fit on all mowers with the pull power lever on the handle? Thanks.
