You're making THE correct choice to preserve your expensive e-free gasoline.

Concur with fuel shut off.

Drain the E10 from the tanks of the Cub and the Honda. Refill with Ethanol free gas. Run it for a while to get the efree gas through the fuel pump and carb. You're done. Just start the tractor every three weeks or so over the winter to keep seals moist. You're done and will have a simple...

"Low performance turd lawnmower engine". Good one. You should be on with Joe Rogan. (y)

I use SuperTech full syn in my truck 330,000 miles. Also in my standby generator which has been in service for 9 years now. Guess what? They're both running fine, and I don't go to confession on Saturday. Just change it when you're supposed to. Everything else I have runs on 2 cycle fuel

There's not one thing wrong with using Super Tech in a lawnmower. It's not a Formula 1 racer turning 10,000 rpms. It has the spec.

Found some. McMaster-Carr has them. Probably of better quality than OEM. Yep, 14" wheels. And they're black so they won't show all the dirt like the white OEM ones.

Mod: Pls delete one of these. Had trouble with the application.

That was a great review. Thanks a lot. As luck would have it, there's a very good outdoor power equipment dealer about 15 mins away, and he carries the full Shindaiwa line.

hang on to your wallet

Thanks, that's it.

Big tall post, about 3 " long, sticks up inside the shrouding. I saw one place that calls it an air vane. Is it a component of the governor? My model is a 10252. Thanks in advance.

OEM coils pricey at around $80. My OEM coil failed a while ago. I have purchased a few aftermarket coils off ebay, that seem to mostly come from China. They don't seem to last too long, either. A couple or 3 seasons, and that's it. Do you have a good coil in mind or just go with OEM? Thanks...

OK, makes sense. They sure are pricey, though.

Thinking about buying this. Any words of wisdom? Good unit? Thanks in advance.

@MParr Dug up the info. It's a Lawn Boy SilverPro Series Model 10252 Walk-behind Power Mower Serial number 9909383 Nice green frame. Thanks for your help.

As you said, I can do what I want. I will do what works for me. I still have all my toes and feet after 71 years. In fact when I was a teen cutting lawns in the neighborhood, we didn't have any malarkey safety stuff. Just an engine, wheels, and a handle to push, right? I like doing my own...

I've been using electrical tape to hold the safety lever up against the handle. But, that's awkward and a pain when I shut down.

The high wheels (12" I think) are not available from Lawn Boy. Is there another source for these? Thank you in advance.

I like it when the nipples stick up

Did you find out what you need?

I use VP Fuel Full Synthetic 2 Stroke Oil. Don't know if they have it up there, but it's all of 7 buck for a 16 oz bottle with one of those measuring cups built into the bottle. Almost no smoke. Smells good enough on rub on before you go into town to go to the dance hall.

Intruder: Mine is fixed. What I did: Buy OEM Lawnboy primer bulb, don't buy that hard plastic primer bulb they sell on ebay and tell you it's for Lawnboy. It may fit, but it won't work. The Lawnboy one is bigger volume, too. It's way more flexible. Buy flexible 3/32 vacuum line. it's...

Now I know it's not supposed to squirt in fuel from the tank. Thanks

Strange how Lawnboy / Toro doesn't have the info out there. I did find a video on youtube that showed a guy from another forum just removing the primer hose from the carb with a needle nose pliers by yanking like hell until the hose popped off. He removed the entire carb first to do it. Are...

Intruder: thanks. I found the manual for my engine. It was helpful on how to remove the carb, not much on how the primer line gets routed. Manual simply says, "replace it" if it's not working. I think at this point, I probably need some really flexible fuel line to fit under the carb...

Good afternoon. Having a devil of a time getting this thing fixed so it will start when I mash the primer button a few times. Mower starts just fine when I remove the air filter and give it a short squirt of ether straight into the carb. Runs all afternoon, so that rules out fuel supply and...
