I have a basic push mower with a Briggs and Stratton motor on it. It's probably 15 years old but I have a normal-sized city lot yard and the mower works okay so I have no reason to buy a new one.
The mower was not used for about 4 years. When I resurrected it last summer I had some issues with some old gas that was left in the tank. I don't know if that could have anything to do with my current problem but I thought I should mention it.
When I start the mower it runs a little rough and sputters occassionally for about the first 20 minutes. It still runs good enough to mow so I just go with it. But then all of a suddent something happens about 20-30 minutes in and bam, it starts to run great. The change is almost instantaneous and it happens every single time I use it.
Can anyone explain this? Thanks in advance!
