Mountfield SP164 Petrol Self Propelled 39cm Lawnmower

Product Information

As an example, my own rear garden is about 15 metres long and 7 metres in width. Multiply those 2 numbers together and you get 105 square metres. Then repeat that process for all your gardens and you will get an approximate square metre size. The carburetor in your Mountfield lawn mower is the component that mixes the gasoline and air in the engine to create a combustible solution that allows your mower to run. Going to add to this thread, since fuel problems has been mentioned - try Aspen fuel for garden machinery and especially for boat engines. There are various mechanisms used to control that lever - sometimes the stiff wire link disappears in to the engine casing and is controlled from something internal, and other times it's from a curved 'flap' which sits close to the fan at the top of the engine - the faster the engine spins, the further the paddle (which is in the air flow) moves. This Mountfield model sells fairly well online and is a good choice for most garden sizes except larger gardens.

If you have used the wrong oil in your mower, you will need to carry out an oil change. The oil change on any mower follows a similar process. Find out how to carry out a Mountfield lawn mower oil change here. Carburetor

This is a self propelled mower that is ideal for mowing the lawns on small to medium sized gardens. (20metres x 20metres) It has a tough and robust steel chassis which is built to last. For ease of storage the handles fold away which is always a good thing. Sharp blades cleanly cut the grass. Dull blades roughly tears the grass which will quikly turn brown. If the lawn mower produces teared grass, then the blades should be sharpened or replaced. If you search online for a petrol lawnmower, the same brands will appear time after time. These include: Do NOT use the lawn mower. The only option is to completely empty the tank and fill it with the right fuel.

For surfaces up to 300m² you can use a battery driven mower. For surfaces larger than that it is recommended to use a petrol mower. The only advice in handbook about engine not running evenly is make sure the fuel is not over a month old. Well its probably been in there nearly a month but I really don't think this is the problem.
