No problems ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 01/07/08 05:16 AM Share Posted 01/07/08 05:16 AM I bought a wippersnipper with a Honda motor, but not honda brand. Runs well starts first go.The lawn mower is a Victa with a Briggs and Stratton motor, I run it on 98RON and nulon synthetic oil. The thing runs well, starts first go and powers through the lawn.It is 5 years old, but still looks new. If you maintain them, you should get a good life out of them.I pressure wash it every 6 months to remove the inground grime, but also hose it off after each use underneath to remove the wet grass.I also keep the blades nice and sharp and have only replaced them recently due to wear.
