I couldn’t start my lawnmower yesterday. I don’t know anything about lawnmowers, really, but I figured if I took it apart I could maybe see what was wrong. I took it apart and couldn’t see what was wrong. When my wife asked me to show her, I reassembled it, but then it unexpectedly started up fine. Lawn-mowing accomplished!

I didn’t do anything…honestly I have no idea. I guess the lawnmower equivalent of “did you try turning it off and turning it on again” is “did you try taking it apart and putting it back together”!

    I was 100% certain I was in this position when I removed basically all the screws I could see, and was like “well…i don’t know what I expected, but I have no idea what I’m looking at” lol

      Yeah, or there’s something obviously broken but no obvious way to fix, or a spring pings off during disassembly and it isn’t clear where it came from.
