I thought it's time to go out and give the nature strip a mow today. I haven't got any fresh fuel but luckily I still had just under half a tank left in the old FC Commando so I thought that should be enough for the nature strip. I also added about half a cup of what was left in the plastic fuel container and just gave it all a good shake around before trying to start it.
This mower has been sitting for 3 months, the last time I started it and mowed the backyard was when I recorded footage to upload on these forums and that was on the 15th of May 2019.
I turned the fuel tap on, let the fuel flow for a bit then I just pressed the primer bulb once to see if it starts. On the second pull it briefly started then stopped. Then I gave the primer bulb another press and on the next pull "VROOM". Away she went and never missed a beat until I finished mowing all the nature strip. Maybe next time I should try giving the primer bulb a couple of presses instead of just once.
Cheers!
