Yardking 138CC 4 Stroke (page 2 of 2)

all good and happy until you need a new blade. Bunnings don't keep them. they'll say they do but have had to return 3x types (lawnking and Ryobi) today. the spacing for the 2x keeper notches are either too close or too far apart. i'll dig out the receipt and return it.

It was all going so well, easy to assemble, I put oil in the crankcase "correct amount on dipstick as per instructions", Filled the fuel tank, Started it up and it started first go. Cut like a champ. Ran for 5 minutes and then died, couldn't for the life of me work out why until I saw the front of the mower.
All the brand new oil I'd put in it had blown out of the exhaust and dribbled down the front. I couldn't see it when I was pushing it. Only after inspection when it died did I realise what happened.
I'm guessing poor ring clearance pushed oil past the piston and into the head.
Back to Bunnings this weekend to buy a better known brand.

Great little lawn mower. I’m a woman so it’s light and easy to push . Easy to start and fill . Love the catcher how easy it is to detach, empty and reattach . Is a very reasonable price for a lawn mower . Defiantly not disappointed with this one

At under $200 this mower is easy to start with one or two pulls and maneuvers easily around trees etc. Smaller catcher but easy to lift and refit. Only had three uses but can't fault it yet as it gives a very even cut and noise level is below most petrol mowers.

Got this mower for $199 at Bunnings, thank god they have an easy returns policy!! It doesn't collect many of the clippings as the chute just blocks up, the motor doesn't rev high enough and they make it hard to adjust the throttle witha strange screw type on the adjuster. It surged from the second use and on about the 6th use it died....Going to buy a rover I reckon....

First self propelled mower I've bought, it is so much easier than a regular mower especially for our sloped yard. It is a 4 stroke mower and starts easy, is very lightweight (22.5kgs) and moves easily across the slope, and only needs a bit of a push up the slope because our yard is very steep. The chassis is steel and very sturdy. The catcher is a mesh type fabric and quite small, bits of spiky grass get stuck in the mesh on the outside. The wheels aren't a great quality plastic and don't have a good tread, not very good for rocky slopes.
