Hello..we are first time lawnmower owners...what type of gas do we buy for this mower?

Regular gas works fine, you do not need to mix on this mower this is a 4 cycle engine. The mower comes with an octane enhancer (packet) and I added it for the first couple fill-ups, but it is not needed. I've been using it for about a year and it starts with the first pull. Remember to change the oil at the start of every season.

I am a long time Lawn Boy customer. I have always used 92 fuel. I usually use Shell or Marathon. My mowers have always started quickly and easily. I do not use old gas that has sat over a season. I always start out with new gas at the beginning of the season. Be sure to have your mower serviced once a year. Always check your oil and never overfill when adding.

You use just regular gas, don't forget to fill it with oil before starting. And don't overfill the oil, its worse than under filled. Use 30 wt oil, any brand!

Use regular unleaded gas but add Stabil or some additive. The 15% ethanol tears up those small engines.

When I got my used lawnmower it didn't have the parts book so I went online to various small engine parts websites and was eventually able to find a blow-up of the parts for my engine. From there I went to Amazon and ordered the part. It worked perfect. I recommend you do the same or contact Bringgs and ask them. Good luck. BTW Amazon was the cheapest of all the sites I visited.

Your owners manual should give you the model number of the fuel tank you're looking for. If you don't have it, go to MTDproducts.com or MTDparts.com and look up your mower model in the owners section. You should find what you need there. BTW, my replacement tank has lasted three years.

The Kohler engine is a 4 cycle with oil in crankcase. Fuel tank holds gasoline. The older Lawn-Boy mowers years ago had fuel oil mixture. The best mower I ever owned. Loving the new mower and it started with one pull the first time. Fresh cut lawn looks like a lawn in The Hamptons.

Yes, I think if you leave gas in it for an extended period of time you will have the same condition that you mentioned happened to your lawn mower.Gasoline in any type of small power equipment when left sitting will go stale. Then comes the poor running, hard or no starting condition. This is usually followed by a few choice swear words and good smash with a 2 x4.Then put it out to the curb.....

No , I ran into a problem after running my mower for a while it would die . So I would first check the fuel level then it would start back up , after doing this a few times I realized I would hear a wush if air leak in , the fix is easy , just drill a real small hole in the lens to let air in , problem is solved , hope this helps

My husband stated that it is gas only. He has been using the snow blower since last year and it's running great

The carb may be gummed up from using gas that contains Ethanol. The new gasoline's contain much more Ethanol than the 10% stated on the pump, causing all kind of power equipment issues. The best fix is to buy the more expensive "Recreational Fuel" AKA Rec Fuel from a local gas station. It's old school 100% gasoline without any additives. Of course you'll need to figure out & fix the carburetor problem you currently have first. Look up your state & local area on this website to find a rec fuel station.http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=AL

Yes it is not an electric mower it is a gas mower! It needs both: gas and oil.

Mine came with oil. The name of it is Poulan PRO WEEDEATER Premium 4 cycle lawnmower motor oil / Detergent blend SAE30 / You can also contact Poulan at www.poulanpro.com or 1-800-849-1297

Yes, that's all I put it in. The manual says to use gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol or you'll ruin the engine. I put pure premium gas (NO ETHANOL), like I do in all my vehicles. The farmers can stick their corn you know where, ethanol ruins gasoline powered machines and they know it, yet they keep trying to shove this "alternative" gasoline down our throats. Use premium and make sure there's no ethanol added to it.

It's not recommend . I was told by the company to use an Ethanol treatment in the gas. This generator you do not mix oil in the gas . That means it needs oil put in it .

This is simply pure gasoline with added stabilizers and with 2 cycle oil and WITHOUT any alcohol. Presently there are no suppliers that sell a product that is not appropriate for your equipment. If you don't wish to use this expensive fuel the next best thing is use only pure gasoline and not gasohol fuel. Pure gasoline can still be purchased at marinas and some auto stations. Given time some discounter will see an opportunity in bottling garbage pump gas and I would therefore stick with name brand fuels.

First of all, is this a brand new unit? What octane and are you using? Did you use a 50-1 husqvarna oil mix? Is this fresh gas or a year old? Did you prime it before trying to start it? Was the plug wet when you took it out? Did it ever try to start?

Engine. Funnel, and gas mixer. Don't use 10w 40 like they say works better with 2 cycle synthetic.

I have found that Jacks small engines can help for the most part, or any lawn mower parts store should be able to look it up for you. If you want, you can go to jacks small engines.com and look up your model number for a parts diagram. Hope this helps.
