 ;) The 'Deb`s Towers' mower has value-added features, which make it so easy to use: `even a human could use it! ::)

Always have to use easy start, sprayed liberally into the carb at the start of every season. It starts first time on the lazy start key after that.

I,ve always left fuel in mine over winter, never had any probs.
before I start it up I always cleaned the plug and filter though.
if you have a one handed grinder you can sharpen the blade no problem and you dont need to take it off.

Lol, we had a mower like that last year at the heritage centre....that was until some bright spark blew half a tin in and when it fired it blew the cylidner head off!

Both my mowers (the good old Suffolk Punch and my Atco Balmoral with electric start) fired first pull again this year.  :y

For those who think easy start is potent....here are a few stories relating to the use of Avpin.....which was the starting fuel for Lightnings and Hunters!

Darlin.......you dont!

lots of fun stories about avpin, but lethal stuff in the wrong hands. One cupful in any fuel tank guarantees destruction of nearly any internal combustion engine, and can cause an explosion that will kill the driver.

BAD STUFF.

I note that the lack of AVPIN will be what grounds all the lightnings from flight (in south africa) and taxi runs here.....as nowhere on this earth will allow it to be manufactured anymore.....even India wont make it!
