I am considering purchase of a new mower, possibly a Lawnboy rear bagger (deluxe model). In the research I did, there seemed to be a bit of a question about the ability of the Lawnboy engine to start after it had been running, shut off, and then restarted with the engine hot. ( as in when removing the grass catcher, etc.) Is the engine hard to start when hot? Any other info on this type of mower or any other would be greatly appreciated. THANKS....

I've had a lawn boy for 7 years and never had any problems restarting it when it is hot. -- Ed Sachs AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville, IL ihnp4!ihuxl!essachs

I spent a large part of my lawn cutting career using my daddy's Lawnboys (an old one, bought used, and a spanking new green one.) The things started. Always. And ran. Always. (How I used to wish the damn things would break down every Saturday morning.) I never had any problem hot starting. Most of the professional lawn care places and municipal grounds maintainence departments around here use them.
