A friends mower, had it to shop. Now it won't rev.
I managed to start it and put a string on the govener lever to increase revs ....
It has no throttle, looks great, big.
Anyway I mowed my lawn, had to take air filter off as it lost power... oil slopping out. Oil was set to right level, but maybe too much.

They mowed a bit then string broke and starter card jammed.......... they are buying a new mower and I get to keep the gardenline.
I'd like to put a carb on that has a throttle........
Looks like a chonda....
cheers

Awful cheap and nasty things aren't they, I guess they will go and buy another cheapie and the cycle will continue.

That's not the first Gardenline with oil in the air filter. My brother had one like that
Took it back to ALDI
They seem good on Warranty.
Wonder why that happens. Once you get oil on the paper element that's it.

It was a big 207 cc self propelled thing. Replaced it with a Victa 24.

Looks like good cliff material. The 15 km one on Uranus Moon Miranda.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

Sorry MF,
I don't have enough hours left in my life to watch somebody dicking around like that, seems a bit like facebook from what I have heard, probably end up telling us what he had for breakfast.

NormK it's a long video but he certainly doesn't tell the world he had eggs with Vegemite on toast at 12:13pm!
