Q: What are common lawn mower issues?

• <div><p>Engine failure, clogged carburetors, dull blades, and electrical issues are common problems requiring service.</p></div>

Q: Why will the lawn mower string not pull?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons why a lawn mower cord won&rsquo;t pull, including an engine jam, a tangled cord, a broken recoil starter, or poor maintenance. To troubleshoot, turn the mower off. Then, inspect the cord, look for any tangles, and gently pull it to identify where the resistance starts. If you&rsquo;re not seeing any obstructions, you may need to call in a professional for repairs.</p></div>

Q: Can you repurpose motor oil?

• <div><p>The best and safest way to deal with used motor oil is to bring it to an approved facility to be recycled and refined into new material. You may see recommendations to use old oil as an equipment lubricant or wood stain, but using it in these ways can be dangerous, messy, and environmentally irresponsible.</p></div>

Q: Can you tip a lawn mower on its side?

• <div><p>Yes, you can tip a lawn mower on its side as long as you turn it with the carburetor side upwards. This prevents oil from leaking into the carburetor and reducing performance. You can also tip the mower backward as long as it's stable while you're working on the deck or blades for safety.</p></div>

Unprofessional. Communicated via text and never came out to look at the gutter. I was told the entire gutter would have to be replaced. Not the case, gutter repaired.

Mr. Elliot came out quickly and assessed the issue. He came back the next day, even bought new piping materials to try and make things work. He spent about three hours trying to help but determined he could not. Apparently when our son hit the well piping, it caused soil to be inserted so far...

Scott did an amazing job of having a game plan and making us stay on task! He made a seemingly impossible task possible. I had dreaded even attempting to tackle cleaning out the garage and getting it done in three hours was almost laughable. But guess what? We did it with Scott's help! I can't...

Joe Gonzales showed up and was very professional. He was able to fix the leak so we could have water to the house again. I tried to repair it myself, but the plumbing lines were too confined. I will be calling Buzzell the next time I have plumbing problems.
