....Nearly all of them don't run because they stored them over the winter with cheap leaded gas and the gas ended up with water in the tank. And of course the mower won't start.
I know a guy who gets them for free and just empty's the gas and puts in premium gas and sells them for $90 - $200.
So THAT'S why my older push mowers stopped running !
(I know I should likely should have added fuel preservative to the tank over the winters, but in the south the non-growing season don't seem to last as long, but I guess it was long enough )
Still have the older ones in the shed, maybe I need to get some premium gas to get them running again, once they are running is it okay to go back to regular gas ?
If I can get the older ones running I can use them for the really rough overgrowth areas and save the newest push mower for the regular grass areas that I can't reach with our lawn tractor.
