I have a 188cc 5hp single cylinder push lawnmower engine and i want to convert it into a mini bike and i was wondering how fast it would or could go if i did because i think it’d b pretty cool, but i didn’t know how good it would be… any help?
I was also putting in a gear box because i cant just mount it sideways so would that take any power away or anything?

I have a lawnmower. There’s still some gas left over from last summer. Is it safe to put new gas in the tank over the old gas to mow the lawn? Any issues at all?

We have a nice Toro lawnmower that we bought for $375 two years ago, and has held up well. When selling a home, do most seller leave the lawnmower for the buyers? I have a neighbor who’s interested in it, so if it’s rare that a buyer expects to inherit one, I’ll just sell it. Thanks in advance for your advice.
Wow. You’re all quick. 100% agree, so I’ll sell it. Thank you all for your answers.
