Our 20 year old 3.5hp B&S lawnmower engine "stopped" last year due to lack
of oil. A few squirts of 3inOne down the plug hole and a bit of jiggling
freed off the seized piston. As a special treat I put some new oil in the
sump. ;-)

I had expected to have to replace the mower soon after but it's been a year
now and it's running perfectly with no smoke. Started on the second pull
with old fuel after its winter hibernation.

Let the grass grow under it, do you mean?
