That's not a problem but mower came with oil and gas and was started and
checked by shop that sold it. I almost bought it at HD but no clerk was
around to discuss with. I actually traded in 2 old Lawnboys that would
not start where I bought the Honda. No problem with my Subaru Forester
to carry.


so if you want the mower to last a really long time, do you clean the stuck on grass clippings off the bottom of the mower deck after each use?

I found the deck rots out from all that damp caked on rotting grass.

Now i use a wood stick to scrape some of that crud off after each use.

With the new stainless steel deck it's just the tubes I need to
worry about. I flush it every couple times.
