Re: (ET) Mower Motor quit

[Tim Humphrey <hump evgrin com>]

This will also occur if the breaker opens. Although I doubt that is the
problem.

Also, if the blade is loose it will exhibit these same symptoms. Usually
though in my experience, a loose blade will completely unscrew itself and
fall to the ground when the motor gets shut off. However I could envision 
it
spinning and sounding like the motor is freewheeling without getting any
looser.
