2026 - What I did today.

I tried to fix my old Honda IZY lawnmower without success. Now I have to decide whether to speculate on a new mower (maybe a battery powered one, or mabe not) I need the self drive one as my lawn is on a steep hill....................or, as the Honda's are a good make which has served me well for the last 15 years, I can keep going and eventually repair the damm thing? I will need to remove carburettor and clean jets and possibly replace the wax thermostat that deploys the auto choke, but it's al just time and very little outlay for parts!

Join the club Vinny, best of luck. At least you sound like you know what you're doing,  I didn't.  P says Honda carbs are easier to work on the the Lawnflite B&S.
