I have a 500 Series (Yard Machines / Briggs & Stratton) that is starting to run odd.
1. I took this video (video is below) before adding some new oil to the mower and was wondering what might be causing the weird noise. Usually, it sounds/runs a lot better than that. Any ideas? My guess is a filter or spark plug.
2. After that video, I got some leftover oil from the garage. The only stuff we had was some 2-stroke oil and I looked it up on my phone and some people said yay and others nay. So like an idiot I just put it in. It seemed to work ok but no improvement. Have I totally screwed myself and mower over or is it ok?
