Hi, having trouble with carburetor linkages. One of the springs got caught in some underbrush and stretched it and now the engine starts great but doesn't run fast enough to cut thicker grass. Is there an adjustment guide so I can at least get it to run properly? The engine also runs mid speed and then slows down to low speed and you have to keep pulling the throttle lever back to full (half speed). It's very frustrating. Otherwise, this is a great cheap little mower.

After draining the old oil you fill it till it shows full on the dipstick. I think it's just over half a litre.

It sounds like it has been overfilled with oil. Check the oil level with the dipstick. Where is it leaking from?

I read there are no spares. I need a petrol cap. Ask the shop you bought it in.

Bunnings currently have stocks of a 16" yardking mower. It's not self propelled but surely would use the same blades. Ask them.

Hi Hiraina W. Any brand of 4 stroke 10W-30 API SJ engine oil (e.g. Honda, Valvoline, etc). If you have a Bunnings or similar near you, they will sell the oil you need. Or the place where you bought it can tell you. :)

Have had trouble with mower from beginning, hard to start, then the height adjustment broke off, so thin in one section, key thickness, now it starts and stops a few seconds later, it’s not yet 2 yrs old, surely it is meant to last longer than this. It is well looked after but now it won’t run, have changed spark plug, cleaned filter and cleaned carburettor. Still won’t run. What else can I do, I need a new mower I think but I am angry that it is such a lemon
