Small Engine Pondering

[pyat]

So, do gas push mowers have a battery, to provide spark? Mine has a key ignition, suggesting that there is a battery somewhere, surely? The ley ignition does nothing, and never has, so long as I've owned the beast - it's second hand. The pull cord worked in past years, but I could not start it today. After inspecting the spark plug, checking the gas and oil, etc., I can find no reason for it's reluctance.

Why is this keeping me awake? I have to be on a bus in 7 hours.

Also, the rusting tool that's been hanging in my garage since I moved in, left by the previous tenant? Swivel-head spark plug wrench. I'm going to write about that tomorrow.
