Quality Lawnmowers

Pixie asked:


This is the first time I have used the lawnmower. The wheels were propelling for the first pass of the lawn. I pulled back a bit on the mower to turn around and now the self-propelling feature will not work. When I engage the drive control bar, I hear a faint screeching noise, somewhat like a loose belt. The mower still works but is extremely hard to push.

I have a TROYBILT driving lawnmower I have cleaned the airfilter
Recently changed the oil
It has plenty of gas but after about 2 hours of mowing it suddenly just dies, then when I try to restart it right after it dies it doesnt catch and start, then if I wait maybe 10 mintues it does start but eventually it kills again maybe 20 minutes later? What could this be? Anyone have any ideas? It works sometimes but then mysteriously just kills. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I was trying to start up my LawnMower. I pulled the ignition starter thing and it turned on for like 2 seconds and blew black smoke out of some hole and now it wont turn on anymore.. The fuel was about half full, i used it about 2 weeks ago, then i filled it up all the way, and still nothing. What can be wrong?
Btw, its a Honda lawnmower.
how do you bum start it?

Ian Pettit asked:


What type of oil should I use for a riding lawnmower? The brand of mower is yard master. I think its a 4 cycle engine. All I got is castrol car oil. Will that work? And if you do not have oil in your engine will that not make it start?

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?

its a 7-22651 Murray self-propelled older model, put new gas in the tank & checked the oil, but it still wont start. We got it off craigslist for free and they said it worked fine, but they were obviously lying just to get rid of it.. any ideas on if it could be a simple fix?

I just bought a Troy Bilt self-propelled rear-wheel drive lawnmower with a Honda engine and four forward speeds. The problem is that I’d like it to go a little faster than a gentle stroll. It has plenty of power to cut the grass if I push it at a brisk walk downhill, but I wish it would maintain that speed with the drive engaged. Anyone know where I could find bigger wheels that would work or another way to speed it up?

Kenny asked:

rmdasilva03 asked:


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?
