Answer
when you rev your engine, did you rev it hard?
never rev it above 4000rpm if you car on still (neutral gear) position. unless it's on running state.
if you never did that, good!
now, try to rev around 1500 -2500 rpm.
try to feel if any sound appear other than the "lawn mower" sound.
if you experience the other sound, there will be (at least) 3 diffrent sound you'll heard.
1. high grinding metalic sound.
--> check your engine oil, if too thick, replace itu with the oil-spec according to manual book.
--> if the sound continuing be heard, over haul your engine. try to replace all metals in your engine. don't forget to give your valves a treatment.
2. bass with clanking sound under your cabin
--> check your exhaust system for cracked pipe.
3. knocking engine with big vibration under your engine hood
--> check your engine mounting, and try to replace your fuel filter. if you using low quality fuel, sometime it will be indicated by knocking with your engine. if you keep it that way, the knocking will vibrate your engine mounting all over the time, and it will shorten your engine mountig useful time.
--> but, on the other hand, if you can't have a good quality fuel for your car, try to tune up your car or recalibrating your valve and timing position to adjust with your fuel condition.
if these answer don't help you, maybe you should go to the nearest workshop.

appox. how much would an insurance premium be for my small lawn mowing service?
richsmithr
business details: not trying to make a living just make some extra money, say i eventually do 20K a year. not landscaping, just mowing, trimming, hedges, weed eating and garden tilling if needed.
lets say my retired father in law wants to come along and help, not a full time job just giving me a hand on a big job, throw him $40-$50 on a job here and there.
**if you are actually an insurance agent can i see coverage and a quote to my email
what if my mower throws a rock threw a $2000 bay window?
or
what if while mowing i get attached by ground bees and have to be hospitalized for 2 days(that happened to a friend of mine)
or
while push mowing i step in a whole and break a leg?
i'm not real sure i'm just starting to look into the details of a mowing business.
Answer
Liability only , no employees, no tree work, pesticide, or snow removal, will cost you about $1500 a year. I'm not sure about the tilling - technically, that's excavation work, and could cost you more (in case you hit a pipe, ya know?)
Once you hire your father in law, even part time, you need to buy workers compensation coverage for him - and that's another $1500 a year, minimum premium, auditable.
No, you cannot "see coverage" based on the extremely little information you provided, heck, you didn't even mention what STATE you are in; however, I'm fairly confident of these rates, in most states, for a start up, part time business.
Regarding a mower throwing a rock - that WOULD be covered under your general liability policy. Keep in mind, it's pretty common for a general liability policy on this type of business, to have a deductible - anywhere from $500 to $5000 per claim.
If YOU get injured or hurt, you would need your own health insurance and disability insurance to pay. As a sole proprietor, in most states, even if you bought workers comp, it wouldn't cover YOU. You will have to discuss this with a local agent, to get state specific information.
**The stone kicked up thing happens fairly often, with this kind of business. Other claims I've seen, are running over sprinkler heads and damaging the sprinkler system; hitting a water line while tilling; and of course, workers compensation injuries are very common.**
