Honda has been building engines for a while. Most Hondas you get with a gas motor cost more than the competition. I have one simple question, why don't you just follow the directions they provide in he user manual. Honestly, why would they provide the manual for a new product, if they thought...

I've used Stan's No Tube in car, motorcycle, and now bicycle tires. It doesn't cause rust and Amazon has given it a 4.7 based on almost 14,000 reviews. It needs to be reapplied about every 6 months, for a lawn mower tire like you described about 2 oz per tire. They have a small syringe kit with...

I live down below Tampa, Fla. and it's 56 degrees right now. Projected low tonight is 49 degrees. I grew up in Conn. and don't really miss the snow at all. Today reminds me why. I feel your pain.

Simplest solution for future consideration, replace son-in-law. 😏😁

This is from Briggs & Stratton " What is the best small engine or lawn mower gas? Fuel for your lawn mower or outdoor power equipment must meet these requirements: Clean and fresh - fuel can begin to deteriorate in as little as 30 days A minimum of 87 octane/87 Anti-Knock Index (AKI) / 91...

Did you test your battery? How old is the battery? If you have something like a "Battery & Bulbs + store" Or even a decent repair shop you can trust, take the battery in and get it tested. If any of your answers start with, "But I" a test is necessary. Many batteries are good for about a year...

I pulled this from online because it uses less words than I would. Maybe it will clarify things. "When it comes to measuring power output for a lawnmower engine, torque is often a more accurate measurement than horsepower. Let me explain why: Torque vs. Horsepower...

I sort of cheated and got this online, it's stuff I know but it explains it with at least a thousand fewer words. It's from HouseToolkit.com , " Engine Performance and Damage: The muffler not only reduces noise but also plays a crucial role in controlling exhaust flow and back pressure...

Look at your carburetor, if it has a tiny metal cup on the bottom with a wire attached, take the plastic handle of a screwdriver and lightly tap the cup while turning the key. There's a small pin inside the cup that blocks gas to the carburetor. Turning the key magnetically opens that pin and...

Y'all were doing good, I was actually cheering you on, then you threw in a small dick comment. Oh yeah, pay attention to the correct spelling of the first word. All reflections on your 'intelligence'.

I have a Toro 2013 4235 zero turn. The front tires are something like 7" with tubes. I use the following twice a year. I'm SW Fla. I never have flats and you don't have the mess that slime can sometimes make. It does require a removable vale stem...

This question still looks open. The shutoff is designed to empty the carburetor, right. I would put the shutoff closer to it for a couple of reasons. 1st, most machines that have one built in, put it on the block up near the carburetor. That's what you're trying to empty. Why burn a bunch of gas...

This is Amazon. Current as of 09/09/23...

That option if available might get you a few more years than a jury-rig. I have a 2013 Toro 4235 that I've been very happy with. It sat for a week in about 16" of water from hurricane Ian. It was a pain removing the water from the engine, new starter, battery, brake control module and...
