This morning the sun was shining, the grass needed mowed, and I had the brand new Mountfield SP414 in the shed that I'd never even started up yet...
So, I got the mower out the shed, filled the tank up with fresh unleaded, and filled the engine up to just under the MAX mark with 10W40 oil, pumped the primer bulb a few times, and after a few pulls of the starter rope, she fired up and ran smooth!
After letting it warm up for a minute, I engaged the self propel and mowed the back lawn, thanking myself for spending the extra money on the self propelled model, which makes mowing much easier (especially because I have a bad back that gets quite painful when having to push a mower).
After finishing the back lawn, and admiring how good a finish it'd made (better than any other mower I've ever owned), shut the engine off, went to the front, and with one pull the engine fired up again.
Within about 10 minutes the front lawn was done, so I shut the engine off, took the mower to the back, brushed the grass off the top of the mower (it was blowing around a lot since I don't use the grass collection bag), put it away in the shed, and I was done!
All I can say is, Mountfield rocks!! :biggrin:
