50 % lubricity , 30 % solvency. & 20 % gas line dry gas freeze protection ! lol.

Own a few Model T 's also ? lol.

Iam a Toro guy , have had 3 over 40 yrs .Currently have a commercial Toro with the Kawasaki Kai , a real torgue monster . I cut over 2 acres , primarily mulching , however bag also later in the season . Buy a Commercial unit and don't t look back . P.S. Snapper also has a quality unit , would...

Heard rumours of excessive use of Seafoam causing premature engine gasket or seal failures , something inferred to chlorine additives or content having a contributing cause ?

I'll 2nd the Startron usage that scrubcadet10 advised , have used it since ethanol fuel came into existence . I find Seafoam a very effective solvency benefit when used prior to an oil change in your oil . Also very effective when used to clean your intake plenum for auto usage . Remove your pcv...

Alternately you can place some hardwood wedges under the flywheel and then strike the flywheel nut that is just loose !

The fuel starvation may be a valid cause , the cleaning of the inlet needle valve under the float fulcrum would be a prudent start . Also the potential for a plugged fuel filter or even plugged vent line to the fuel tank will cause a partial vacuum condition with similar symptoms of fuel...

Check fuel filter or inlet needle valve located under the float in bowl under the carb .

A lot of peeps become paranoid with 2 stroke oils . Actually any good FC rated oil will perform well in any air cooled engine . Similiar with the older TCW- 3 rated oil , that became a marine oil application . FD is only better for low smoke and high detergency , critical service applications...

That's why I always utilize the kiss principle . Good catch on the inlet fuel line from tank , I have seen this often on older lawn tractors with gravity flow and newer units with electric fuel pumps , a common problem many newbies overlook Cudo 's !

Anti backfire valves can be a issue , however I have found they more often cause a no start issue rather than stall condition after 10-15 minute run time !

Never seen a high temp oil sensor on any mowers , low oil sensors yes ! Serviced high temp sensors on outboard & liquid cooled snowmobiles only !

Lots of recommendations and not a lot of feedback from the o.p. Agree never required to replace a well designed and maintained carb . Several sources of repair kits cheap online. Kiss principle works best . Always provide Manuf. Model & Serial number . Ensure you have fresh fuel , spark plug in...

Amsoil Sabre is a very good synthetic oil designed to be used @ 50:1 to 100:1 . I have used it for many yrs at 50:1 awesome product. Motul 800 is another good product , best when mixed @ 50:1 .
