Got the lawnmower today shipped via UPS. This way I paid no taxes/ shipping was free. Much better deal than what others had locally such as HD and Lowes. I knew it would come with some straight 30 weight oil to put in. And it did. I will try to get around to posting/ uploading a photo of the oil container. I am not saying it’s any special kind of 30 weight oil. The WalMart 30 weight looks like just what I should use.
Its Troy Bilt with Briggs Stratton engine
.
Troy is the same as MTD
They all have Briggs engines now because briggs has a carb that always starts on the first pull.
Honda is no longer competitive because of this.
Just do not store it full of gas or it may never run again.
The orifice in the carb is no longer bronze, its plastic, and may swell shut from the alcohol in the gas.
