Same here (Northampton) - took a gamble on it needing another one so that I could drain the oil from the hot engine. Looked at the grass yesterday and, in 2 weeks, it needs a trim otherwise it'll be a scythe job by late February!
I've used 'Mechanic in a Bottle' on my 2 stroke machinery when I've had a problem with them. Cleans the carb out and definitely assisted the performance without stripping down. It was recommended to me by the local machinery dealer.
Drain? Oil? My petrol pushabout hasn't had an oil change in the 23 years I've owned it.
Yeah, right. Perhaps when you've a postage stamp sized piece of grass to cut.
Have you topped it up here and there, though?
*grin* Yep.
There's a car that can break your wrist if you don't let go of the handle.
You can get electric mowers that are bigger, just like you can get petrol mowers that are bigger.
Habit(?). My first 2 bikes were Hondas, so changing oil in a Honda is ingrained.
