hi, can anyone provide me with the info to get this mower working?
Bought on Ebay, this mower is new 'graded' stock and despite the
seller promising to send me one several times, I don't have a
userguide for it. I can probable muddle my way through most of it, but
what I really need to know is what oil to put in the engine and how
much? I've located the oil filler hole, which has a yellow plastic
screw in plug with two raised lugs (presumably for leverage) with a
picture of an oil can on it, but I don't see any indication as to a
fill-to level. The mower itself is as title, with a Tecumseh (sp?) 4
stroke petrol engine. It appears to be the same or very similar to the
McCulloch 354OPD Self Propelled model at Argos online. There is also a
Flymo information sticker close by on the cowling.

I've spent hours and hours trawling Google and the WWW in general, all
to no avail.

Any and all info greatly appreciated.

Most generic mower engines - oil fill to bottom of filler neck in the
absence of a dipstick (Sometimes a little stubby one attached to the
bottom of the filler plug.)
Quantity - Just fill as above.
Oil - Can't help much on that. Mower dealers sell a single viscosity
SAE 30 oil for mowers but this is used mainly in cylinder mowers -
harder working rotary mower engines might need something different
like a synthetic multigrade.Ask Tecumseh or a proper mower shop.
