My faithful old lawn mower is a Craftsman Platinum 7.5 self-propelled. It's about 7 years old and has never failed me. But now it's not starting after dying and it smells like the motor is about to blow up. A strong burning smell. The oil level is normal. I have been putting regular gas in it for a few months and will never do that again. Yes, Rob can have your mower because if this one is dead then I want to buy a new one. Thank you for your responses. I just wanted someone's name in HPP in case my grandson's friend is unable to fix it.

OK Rob, will do.

Most of those craftsman mowers only need gaskets replaced in the carburetor and possibly a priming bulb.

Home Depot had the Ryobi 40V electric lawnmowers on clearance for $250 ("last year's model"). They really work, cut right through knee-high weeds, mowed my entire driveway with battery to spare. Recommended.


How long does it take to charge the battery from empty?

RE: Lawn Mower Repair - kalakoa - 10-07-2019

It took about 3h. Battery is 180Wh, charger is 80W.

A quick re-trim today only took 30m, used about half a battery.

I'm going back for the 14" chainsaw.

Nice little mower.

Thanks Gus.

I need a new mower but have been on the fence when it comes to electric. Would definitely need at least 2 batteries. Is the deck made out of metal or plastic?

RE: Lawn Mower Repair - kalakoa - 10-08-2019

Is the deck made out of metal or plastic?

Good question. It's all plastic. Not sure how it will hold up: it won't rust, but it also doesn't have to support an engine block. It did come with a 5-year warranty.

Cheapest way to get the second battery is ... bundled with the chainsaw.

I'm also looking for someone to repair a Ryobi electric mower. The bolts holding the motor are stripped and loose. Not an option to repair myself. The only thing I saw online is Puna Small engine repair. Has anyone had experience with them recently? Or other recommendations in the Puna or Hilo areas?
