About six years ago, I had a vapor lock issue with a 2007 Troy-built pressure washer with a Briggs & Stratton 8.75 HP engine. It would run when it was cold but when it ran out of fuel and was refilled, it was always hard to start. I called the local dealer and was advised that B&S had...

I have used non-ethanol mixed with Sta-BIL at the time of purchase for the past 30 years with no fuel issues. I mix it with an extra measure of the stabilizer for the stated two-year life which lasts about 18 months to turn over my supply. Non-ethanol without any stabilization will not last...

https://powerequipment.honda.com/lawn-mowers From the Honda website (bottom of page) are the listed HRC commercial mowers. My local Honda dealer didn't receive any Honda lawnmowers for all of 2023. I'd have to drive to the next county to buy one from a dealer. When I visited my former Honda...

No problem currently as the mower is still relatively new. I bought a service manual directly from Honda for my Honda self-propelled, but I was looking for a service manual for my Toro.

Is there a different service manual for the newer Super Recyclers? I have Model 21386. Thanks

After the Honda engine recall, Home Depot received a limited supply of Honda Self-Propelled mowers. Lowe's isn't carrying any Honda mowers except for parts, but they now carry a full line of Toro walk-behind mowers. If you want a residential Honda walk-behind mower, now may be the best time...

I have OEM mulch blades on my mowers that do a good job of grasscycling. And if I have to equip one mower with side discharge and it happens to make clumps (usually in the backyard) then I'll blow the clumps with the blower to disperse. Guide on grasscycling...

There are two Super Tech 30W oils at Walmart however, they are only sold in quarts as Walmart discontinued the 2.5-gallon jugs. There is a diesel variety but I don't mess with it. There is a plainly labeled SAE 30W Non Detergent lubricating oil which I don't buy. And there is the SAE 30 HD which...

Have you all noticed that you see more battery-operated lawn equipment at the big box stores? Husqvarna walk-behind mowers are no longer sold as are Hitachi/Metabo gas blowers and even Toro gas trimmers. Honda officially ceases lawnmower manufacturing in September 2023. And Honda's recent...

Here's the old-design Honda clone that's received good reviews, https://www.harborfreight.com/55-hp-173cc-ohv-vertical-shaft-gas-engine-epacarb-69731.html If I encounter the alleged engine issue behind the recent Honda action and Honda provides no support, I will install this Predator engine...

At least Honda will keep making parts and engines. I've owned quite a few Honda-powered lawnmowers with zero issues regarding the engines. In 2020 I finally bought the Honda HRN216VKAA Self-propelled mower and haven't experienced any issues recently mentioned in online videos. One of the...

https://badboymowers.com/zero-turn-mowers/commercial/commercial-grade-push-mower That's a self-propelled mower with a 21" or 25" cut and made overseas but using the Kawasaki engine.

Has anyone heard any updates for the HRN series of Honda lawnmowers in light of Honda's recent action? Thanks

It may need a replacement Thermowax cartridge for the Auto Choke system- a surging engine at startup is the primary symptom.
