Is it OKAY to use a rear bagging LAWN MOWER to remove leaves from my yard (lots of them!!)?

~

I'd like to just mow over them and collect it in the bag. Will this harm my mower in any way?

Answer
yes its a great idea, I have done it many times myself. One small point set the cutter blades on high and I assume your lawn mower is a rotory mower as it will rely on the suction from the blade to lift the leaves into the bag.It would not work with a cylinder mower so well.

I have a 6hp murry lawn mower which has a plunger on the side of carb. to prime eng. but it's not getting hard

before the prime knob would get hard being filled with gas but now it feels empty and I can't get it to fill up and I guess may also be the reason that the motor won't stat running but for a second after putting tiny bit of gas in thraot of carb. ??? thanks...........

Answer
yea u need to check ur gas lines to make sure their not cracked, check the bulb because u may not have to replace it, and check carb gasket... if their are any signs of cracking in any of em, replace them... whats happening is somewhere air is getting in and displacing the gas, not allowing for a good suction...
