Lawn Mower - Disconnecting shut off brake permanently

[Dan Espen]

You think after 3 years the original poster still cares?

This wouldn't happen if you read Usenet with a news reader instead of the botched Google Groups interface.

I'm surprised they dont include a

ition is cut.In fact no machine needs to be braked. Have respect for machin es,and let them slow down by themselves, harsh braking puts a lot of stres s on vital parts,and often cause damage to motors in electric mowers.

how long does it take to read a date?

I never heard lawn mower brake, but clutch. My mower has that same feature(John Deere) it does not bother me. When it's time to empty the bag, I let go of the handle, after bag is reattached, one pull starts again. Not such a big deal. Safety feature is not made for only you, LOL!

[Jon Danniken]

Mine had a crude safety feature that shorted out the coil when the handle was released. On a Briggs I work on from time to time, it has that, plus a clutch that consists of a flexible strap with some sort of friction material embedded on it; when the deadman is released the coil shuts down and the strap pulls tight against the flywheel, quickly stopping the rotation.

I removed the safety feature on mine during maintenance, but I left it on the Briggs because it isn't my mower.

I never look at the date. I keep my newsreader updated as ASSume the posts are current. They should be in a perfect world.

Yes, U.S. made/sold stuff has a brake on the flywheel for safety...look it up. And this thread is nearly 3 yrs old! Doh!

Umm, How Long is a Chinese name.

It would be nice if safety features like these were optional not mandated. It's amazing how much more the consumer must pay to keep the mental midgets in the gene pool.

Jon, how did you modify the brake and kill system on yours? My Tecumseh is the same way.

[Gordon Shumway]

Did you just call me a tool?!

[Micky]

The same way as what? In what way? When you google people going to learn to quote what you're replying to or to write a decent post?

Be proud of your tool. Are you a tool for the good orrrr the dark side? Everyone here is tool; either for enlightenment or a nut twister.

Just take the blower housing off and completely remove the flywheel break. It completely defeats the purpose of that cord and you'll just have to pull the boot off the spark plug to kill the engine.
