switch replacement

[Dave Roach]

My mower cuts out and if I move the power lever around I can get the mower to run again. It seems to be in the switch and I'm not sure if I should buy a complete power switch assembly or just the switch. Will the switch fit on all mowers with the pull power lever on the handle? Thanks.

I have had two of these machines and must say for the money they have served me well enough. However, the switch is the first thing to go on them. I would think by this time Black and Decker would have re-designed a better switch to last as long as the rest of the machine.

I have had two Electric Black and Decker 18" Mulching Mowers in the last 35 years. The switch handle is the only problem I've had, and after 18 years of service, I consider that normal. I wouldn't use any mower except an electric type. I can't imagine breathing the exhaust from a gas power mower for the last 35 years!
