My Push Mower Starts Strongly But Immediately Stops When I Let The Pull Cord Go. Is There A Quick Fix?

It’s a Sears Craftman rotary lawn mower ( walk behind with 6.75 horsepower power-propelled). I checked the oil and changed the filter and spark plug. It has gas. Help!

Worx Electric Hover Lawn Mower 40 cm 50 Litre Capacity, 1600 watt

This neat little Worx 16 inch electric lawn mower is rugged yet lightweight. This particular Worx mower is perfect for small yards and homes with limited storage space.

This 13 Amp mower has plenty of cutting power for the smallish 16 inch blades. It is actually an easy mower to store, the handles fold down and collapse, making it quite easy to store. The handle folds back and collapses for quite a compact, easy-to-store mower. The grass box is pretty spacious and holds approximately 13 gallons of clippings and you can detach the box simply in order to empty it.

There are limited reviews around on this particular Worx mower, personally I don’t like hover mowers so would probably never buy this. However for some people they make a good choice particularly if you want something easy to manage which will cut your lawn pretty quickly. Many people have not heard of Worx lawnmowers in the UK hwoever they have a good reputation in the USA where they are a well known brand.

Worx Electric Lawnmower

Worx have another mower in this price range but it has wheels instead of the hover nonsense, it’s called the Worx 1200w Silent Electric Rotary Mower – also worth checking out. Another thing that might not be important to grass cutting itself but the Worx mowers certainly look quite stricking, a bit of a head turner and chances are you’ll be the only one who has one if you’re in the UK at least.

How Much Motor Oil Do I Need To Refill This Lawn Mower?

I am fully changing the old motor oil in my CRAFTSMAN Rotary Lawn mower.
This 625-series, Briggs & Stratton motor turns a 22 inch blade to a side-discharge.
I need to know how much (I am using 30 weight) motor oil I need to buy to fully refill this motor after I drain it.
Thanks for knowledgeable replies.

How Do I Connect My Lawn Mower Thermostat To The Air Vane?

I was disconnecting my muffler, and the thermostat(?) became disconnected from the air vane. I connected it again, and the engine made a knocking sound.

Wanted To Know Best And Safest Way To Cut Grass. What Lawn Mower Buy And Safety Considerations.?

I am a retired college teaching professor, who has taken over raking leaves. Now want to go to cutting grass on lawn. The lawn is straight and small in front. In the back there really is not much grass. The lawn is more the crabgrass type. Even with the greatest of efforts, it will not get that “golf green” lawn look.
I am not interested in a riding lawn mower. Have talked to a couple of people. It looks like a push lawn mower with a bag is the way for me to go. Someone mentioned having one in which you do not have adjust the wheels.
Am concerned about what would be best to buy, where. Safety is also a major concern on how to adjust the blades, and any other matters should know about.
Tired of walking and thought practical exercise would be good. The mower would pay for itself soon.
Any suggestions about operating and buying a motorized push lawn mower would be greatly appreciated.
