ANDERSON OUTDOOR POWER EQUIP

I got the lawnmower back; but, I was unable to use it right away because we were getting rain everyday in our area.  When I got the chance to finally mow, the mower wouldn't start and had the same symptoms.  I took it back, they worked on it, Manager told me the man who did the work put it back together wrong.  I took it home (more rain) and when I tried to start it, I had a very hard time getting it to start (again same original symptoms) but managed to get it started.  It ran, slugish.  I had to turn it off for a minute; and when I went to start it again, it would not start.  Took it back to them a third time and they tell me some part that rarely goes bad went bad.  The part alone would be $160 and that I probably could not find the part if I did a search for it unless I came across an old engine to replace it.  They insisted that the carburetor was the initial problem although it only ran for 1/2 of a yard and the original problem was never fixed.  So, I'm out $110 and now they say mower is basically unrepairable unless I want to put another couple hundred dollars in it.  Waste of my time and money taking the mower to them for repair.  Can't afford to pay someone to "guess" what is wrong unless they are willing to stand by it!
