The great lawn mower rip off.........
beast5680:
the air filter sponge is normally soaked in a very light covering of oil not drenched in it mind! this allows it to help in collecting dust etc

you only need to apply a smear of oil to the air filter if the engine is hunting (asif the fuel diaphram had gone altho it aint) cos its running lean, so you just need to richen it up abit :wink:
as for cost seems steep, its around 50 quid at our place
but moaning about it....dont forget this....
.tax man having his share
.employee's having there bit
.overheads (rates)
.council having there bit
want the rest ??
buisnesses do need to charge this to stay afloat :shock:
sorry for the rant but yano it makes me ache when i see people moaning about prices :roll:

No probs, if they had said £50 I would have given it to them but £75 for a mower that cost £100 seemed a lot. Well at least i now know I can do it my self for next to nothing.

ok...friends :P
even so..if you own a landy....and can fix a landy....suerly you can fix a lawnmower, its the most basic engine you could possably work on :shock:
i suppose this day and age though, stuff is that cheap, just run it into the ground then throw it in the bin when it dies and get another :roll:
our mower up the caravan is 5 years old now, and aint even had a oil change yet :lol:
infact..its more water than oil in it :twisted:
and it still going :shock:
pitty...i want a new one..but it still goes and cuts grass, so sod it :lol:

I don't own a landy, I have a Suzuki GV and it never goes wrong, so never fixed it! LOL
However even if i did try to fix it I would need a computer to tune her up. The mower is designed like most new cars not to be touched by anything other than a specialist, you have to remove half the plastic cover before you can get to anything... so I guess its shouts don't touch!! LOL
Anyway the good news is it won't be single speed soon as I figured the throttle linkage out and will be making some mods to it!
Mods on a lawn mower... now there's a thing LOL
