I was on my last lawn while it was down pouring. I was almost done and it just cut out. I heard it die out for a split second then it happen. I keep pulling the string but no luck. I spray starter fluid and no luck. Sounds like it just flooded. I then for the hell of it choked it and smelt a lot of fuel. Either I ruined the coil some how in the rain or it was from the gas can that I had open two nights ago and the pouring spout was open!!!

A good one won't just "die" in the rain from being out there here and then, but I wouldn't leave my equipment outside. Too much depreciation.

The trimmer was sitting in the rain today while I was working. I was the only guy mowing. People were looking at me weird. I learned it's not worth mowing in the rain just the stress on the equipment. The quality was ok but I had to spend extra time. One yard I did I could see the tire marks since the grass didn't want to pick up and the mower sunk 1/4 inch I think. First time with the mower in the rain and it did good! No clumps really but I cheated and raised it 4 inches or 3 7/8

You might have wet the air filter enough that it create so much resistance for air to past through and cause the engine to suck too much gas into the engine. It is like you try to run in close choke.

If it is running while being in the rain it will be fine. The wet grass will heat the motor a little more.
