Ordinary 87 gasoline, the same you put in a car.
It depends if it is a four stroke or two stroke engine.
If the engine has a separate filler for oil then plain petrol will do.
If there is no separate filler the 25 to 1 petrol /oil mix should be OK.
If it is a petrol lawnmower made in China there are now spares available
probally bad rings.
Unleaded.
Depends on which engine but most use SAE 10w30 weight. I recommend you use 100% synthetic oil in an air cooled engine.
Can't get answer from Tesco and Wikipidea doesn't know - Note to self... do not buy a Tesco branded Petrol lawnmover in future.
Dump/siphon/drain it as best as possible and as long as you haven't tried to run it, you should be able to fill it with petrol and fire it up! The petrol will dilute the residue sufficiently.
Im guessing this is a petrol lawnmower. sounds like the float is not set at the correct level in the carburetor
I can't imagine that would make much difference. The different weights of oil affect the durability of the oil in the long term and its performance in high or low temperatures. hi just to let everyone know i went ahead and used the 10w40 oil instead of the 10w30 that is suggested in the ryobi petrol lawnmower manual and it worked perfectly i have a 140cc 4stroke petrol lawnmower model no RLM140SP thanks steed69
did you clean the air filter? is there enough petrol? is the string or attached spring broken? do you have a choke?
Yes 10w30 is a good oil for snowblower or lawnmower.
If the lawnmower is not electric powered then is is probably operated by an internal combustion engine (petrol or diesel. Oddly enough, very early lawnmowers were steam powered, which means they were examples of external combustion engines.
It varies, depending upon the type of mower it is- old-fashioned mowers were hand-pushed, and although no longer widely in use, they can still be bought today. Other mowers use electric motors or two-stroke petrol engines.
