Idk if you have one but i get Ethonal Free gas from Quick Trip Gas stations. Its a little bit more expensive per gallon but i dont like usimg fuel stabalizers. Im buying this lawnmower tomorrow so i hope ill love it. Thanks for the review!
You don't need to empty the gas, you just need to use premium ethanol free gas. My 3 year old yardforce starts first pull the entire season. Only takes one or two pulls at the beginning of the season even using old gas left over in all winter. Ethanol free is the key.
I've had one for 4 yrs. I've noticed between mows every 2 weeks that the transaxle don't want to roll reverse until it's been used a few minutes. I've had issues with gas in oil but still runs fine. The warranty is absolute garbage and they don't honor the warranty. I've noticed grass likes to build up in the mulching plug
My 1-yr old Yard Force mower (great BTW) will only start now with the propel bar on. Also, the mower when off cannot be pulled backwards. Wheels are locked. Any clues? Any help is much appreciated.
I use the one straight out of the gas station. I do add a fuel stabilizer to allow the fuel to keep longer. The key to getting the most life out of your mower is making sure you run it until it stops by itself. This way no fuel is left in the system.
@@TheSmokingBeard Just saying it can happen, Moisture in tank is always a culprit also as far as rust sediment in the tank and if it falls below freezing. And then just straight up gumming from old gas and/or time. But in the end if you care for your equipment like i and it sounds like you also do then most is avoided with just common sense maintenance. I have the same mower just recently purchased so i am hoping it last quite awhile.
I think that is where you and I differ.... I live in deep south Texas. Let's just say the closest we get to a winter down here is no where near freezing. What you described probably happens in areas that freeze.
Good advice ...you have a good site , thanks
Thanks for watching!

My mower is 3 years old using ethanol free gas and I confirm that's what needs to be done.

I've had it since around the time I posted this video with no issues. You might have received a lemon.
Propelled clutch cable came loose. waiting to see if they warranty that, less than 90 days and the cable /clutch has issues.
@@SSpeesa friend in Florida bought one and it developed an oil leak from the bottom and Sam's club refused to honor their warranty

Not really... I've had mine for years now and haven't had that issue. A small engine mechanic is your best bet.
How do you turn down the self propel?? It goes way to fast for me.
I dont think you can. What you can do is not engage it all the way but I've tried that and it's very uncomfortable on my hands.
What kind of gas do you use? E10?

89 octane

No gas can also cause gasket shrinkage in the carb and stuck floats.
I've had mine for years using this method, and that hasn't happened.

Chinese JUNK. Parts are only available from one place in the World.
