I understand it is beneficial for the lawn to get nutrients from the grass clippings which is why sometimes i dont use the grass catcher. But how much is too much and how often should i switch from using the grass catcher to not using it? Should i use it every other time i mow?

hi i have Honda HRA214 lawn mower self propelled and i was wondering if i could get some help on how i would be able to build a go cart out of it. The engine runs good but will that be enough horse power? Im looking for steps and possibly pictures to help me out.
thanks

Joe asked:


Is there any way to clean the filter since I can’t find a replacement without ordering one for $20 plus s&h.
It’s just a piece of foam, but it’s an odd shape so I’d like to just clean it. It’s not horribly dirty or clogged.

Joe asked:


It’s a Lawnboy 6.5 hp push mower, but nowhere on the mower does it say what ratio of oil I need for the mix. I looked on the gas cap and there is no owners manual. Used mower I just picked up.
I’m 100% a 2 stroke, that much I know. I jsut don’t know if it’s 32:1 or 50:1?

He is soaking his fingers in ice water now. What else can he do for the pain-besides aspirin.

Any ideas on what’s happening with my lawnmower?

I recently bought a used lawnmower - the first times I used it last season were fine. This season, if I use it and then kill it to move something - like our porch swing - the lawnmower will not start when I turn it back on. If I wait a day, it will work again. It has new spark plugs, new air filter, fresh gas,.. It is a snapper self-propelled mower from around 2003, if that matters. Any ideas on what could be happening with it?

Would taking apart an old lawnmower help me learn about cars?

Damon asked:


I have an old lawnmower that has a lot of problems, it’s just not worth keeping anymore. But I figured that I can use it to learn about cars. I know it’s not going to be the same, since it’ll have a carburetor and the cylinder will be horizontal (right?), but can I learn the basics off of it?

How can I get my lawnmower up and running again after it stopped because I didn’t change the oil?

John asked:


I started the lawnmower up this spring and it had very little oil left in it. It ran for a few minutes, then I heard a bang bang bang and it just stopped. Now what do I do? Can I just add more oil and it will start again? It is a Toro 4-cycle 6.5 hp push mower.
