[QUOTE="SwollenRaccoon, post: 806876, member: 19178"] I'm not going to wave the "Made In America" flag in your face, since I have 2 Japanese bikes and 2 Japanese cars. But as far as how the mower was initially set up, (especially at a big box store), it most likely wasn't the manufacturer's fault. Typically, they have some minimum wage, unintelligent, knuckle-dragging douche-bag do the final set-up on things like mowers, tillers, bicycles, and the like. The doorknob had no idea when he attached the deck to the chassis. A few years ago, I watched my non-mechanical neighbor try to figure out why his brand-new push mower was cutting like crap. Took him about 1/2 hour, but he finally figured it out. I can sympathize.....at one time I was a minimum wage, unintelligent, knuckle-dragging douche bag. Now I'm a slightly better-paid, unintelligent, cynical, burned-out, highly-experienced, middle-aged douche bag, with bad knees, shoulders, lower back, and gray hair. (And I also had a 1982 Yamaha Seca Turbo (with the factory-updated check valve and muffler fix) that developed a couple of leaky floats and a leaking petcock, that also resulted in gas in the oil. After I rebuilt all 4 carbs and the petcock, it ran like the day it was born.....what a bike) [/QUOTE]
