I have a older Walker Zero Turn mower
It backfires when you shut if off , if you don't idle it down all the way and let it run a min
Well tonight I mowed the grass .... only 90 or so degrees this afternoon
So as I sat there a bit with it idled down to turn off , Cooking my few brain cells in the sun
I remembered I needed to cut some of the grass at dads Saturday
So I drove it the 100 yards to his house
Of course I had 10 other things on my mind and instead of waiting any time with it idled down
I just went to turn it off
But my hand bumped the choke lever to on as I turned it off
OK my bad , but no backfire
So I am sitting here soaking up the AC , playing a mind numbing computer game to kill time
As I wait for the headacke meds to start working ( just another normal every day Migraine ... and I have meds for them )
I was wondering if I choke the mower as I turn it off , to stop the backfire when I am in a hurry
Will I hurt the motor ?
Thanks
John
