Your last statement is a bit rough, but I'll take it. I ONLY do an excellent job, I won't settle for less. I have to please myself before I can please others. If I'm not pleased, I re-take the shot. So not only not bad for an American, but _excellent_ for an American.
You're not kidding! I can get started right away instead of playing around for a half hour trying to get it to run, only to end up with a lackluster experience.
I like the color of the mower. Most mowers I see are orange, green, or red, this seems pretty unique in my opinion! Though I do like how the handles are NOT black. SAE30 oil? Naw man, you should be using the blue can! "Got it!" Safety third as always! But like you said, if you're careful, you can get by. Pull on that rope slow *car engine starts* That was pretty funny timing. That was such a healthy start-up, all in all, a fantastic mower. I hope you get some good uses out of it!
Yes, I do agree it's pretty sharp looking. If the oil that it comes with can't be good enough to run in it, it shouldn't be included. I don't believe the hype in synthetic or the wishy-washy synthetic blend. Good old conventional for me, that's what my cars call for and that's what I will put in. Yeah, safety third is always on the menu. When you're not carefulling is when accidents happen. That was interesting timing. (Incidentally, that's a Mazda). Remember that time with the generator years ago when you barely pulled it and it started? I can do that with this mower. A grandma could actually start that without any trouble.
Well turns out my troy bilt with the plastic carb that kept failing was because of a bad gas cap guess it's always the small things we miss, these newer briggs aren't bad just there's a few that are underpowered for some applications and in other cases sometimes the idle would be set to low but sounds like your's is set right just make sure you store it away empty or with non ethanol gas
9:45 SAE30 is good or HD30, at times as a Lawnmower Flipper because I can get 10w30 or 10w40 cheaper I wil luse them instead. it will not hurt it. I just would never use Synthetic in a lawnmower. Looks like a Decent mower, I wonder if since Husqvarna exited the push mower market Yard Force bought that line of business.
Exactly my point. There never was anything wrong with conventional oil so I will continue to use it. If that's the case, then at least we know the heritage of the mower. Otherwise, based on what I've seen and heard, it's using the typical run-of-the-mill Briggs engine that's on many other lawnmowers in the same price range. Based on several personal accounts from close friends who have the same engine type, they've been quite good, just tricky to get started in the spring after sitting all winter.
Put in break in oil. Run 30 minutes then tip over to drain, refill with full synthetic 10w30. It runs cooler and smoother. The break in oil will be full of metal shavings
@@jaykay18 when I changed mine it was grey and smelled of gas. Ran a magnet through it and it was coated heavily with metal. Haven't had that problem since. Only problems I've had after 5yrs is replaced carb twice and the gearbox locked up, found a website where I can order a new one and weren't to bad on price
Absolutely! A grandmother can start this thing, if you pull the rope just a little faster than I pulled it very slow in the beginning, it will start. Runs well through and through. I have heard that startup in the spring after the winter can be more problematic. There's nothing for you to do except keep pulling that rope. Siphoning out the old gas and putting in fresh can greatly increase your chances of getting it to run, and once it runs and has burned out the old fuel, it should be easy starting all season.
After 5yrs the gear box locked up. An online company carries them for $21.48 plus tax, free shipping. Seems to be a common problem. Seen some complaints where itll have a no start situation, its the plastic choke getting hung on metal, a nail file to remove about 1/8 inch of plastic fixes it
Thank you so much for taking the time to create the video!! You did an excellent job explaining everything. Not bad for an American 😊😊

I was trying a little sarcasm. I am a born U.S. Citizen. Chalk it up to my poor sense of humor. 😊
@@murley79 It's quite all right.
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
Yay!! Bravo!! No more frustration!!! Can cut the grass with ease now!
You're not kidding! I can get started right away instead of playing around for a half hour trying to get it to run, only to end up with a lackluster experience.
Thank you so much for the video. You answered some of my questions.
You're welcome.
Very nice, with a proper engine. Enjoy having a one pull wonder!
I've always wondered what it would be like to have a one pull wonder, but now I'll wonder no more.

I spoke about non-ethanol gas in the video.

It still has almost no runtime on it, not time to do so.

@@johnfields4896 This one isn't even 5 months old yet. I would, however, appreciate the link to that site, should I encounter a problem.
Update, still running good?

Thank you for the information.

Thanks.
