This one might need one also, alot of slack in the cable. Once I get it running good I'll address that.

I totally get it that many people don't have skills, tools and time to do a repair or even haul it to a repair shop. I'm also sure that B&S gets it too. I'll bet the life expectancy of push or walk behind mowers like this is just a handful of years. Oh well, it's just another example of our "throw away " lifestyle.
True, I didn't check to see if it had a plug but there's ways around that. As I get older it gets to become a game on how long I can make things run versus when I was younger and always wanted new.

You must of had a bad experience with the Personal Pace, I've had three different Toro's all with Personal Pace and all of them worked flawlessly. I admit there is a bit of a learning curve but once you get it down and get the cable adjusted it's the only way to go.
I was thinking the same.. seems to be ok for the 15 minutes I ran it.
