G'day all, trying to find a mower for my girlfriend who loves to mow the
lawn but has to get someone to pull start the mower for her.

I've been to a couple of hardware or bunnings stores (notice the two terms
are different?) and they tell me there are electric start petrol mowers
but
don't stock them. Nor do the old Victa windup start mowers appear to be
available, but my local mower/chainsaw place will keep an eye out for one
for me.

Does anyone know a good model that doesn't cost the earth. It would be
nice
to be four stroke and a reasonable bit of grunt to hack through the back
yard which is covered in the dropped limbs of the poinciana tree and a bit
of green panic up the back and the rest if often left to grow a bit.

Forget the mower...how much for your girlfriend

I have a Victa 4 stroke, and it's started first pull for over 2 years now.
But then I always prime it, set the throttle to 3/4 and pull the cord to the
compression point ..then relax the cord..one pull of the cord then works
everytime.
