4. Great story, and it sounds a lot like my neighborhood

I live within the city limits of Pittsburgh and we're mostly Democratic voters here. The ones who aren't keep it to themselves. I love my neighborhood, in an older area but most of the houses are kept up pretty well. My neighbors are an even split 50/50 black/white. There are older people (like me) living here but also younger families with kids moving in too.

Stonepounder it shouldn't take 20 or 30 pulls on the cord to start your lawnmower. It should start in the first 2-3 tries. Maybe you need a new spark plug? Check to see if your spark plug is oily or sooty, or maybe the gap is wrong? Honestly spark plugs are so cheap, usually less than $5 at Home Depot or any hardware store. I put in a new spark plug every spring, and my lawn mower starts right up. Also dump out any old gas and pour in fresh gas, because the old gasoline that sits in the tank loses oxygen over time.

My neighbor, a kindly black man name Lewis, taught me this and it has come in handy all these years.

Good luck!
