Have to say I have found SF to be pretty good in the rare occasion I've had an issue.The SP164 model uses ST120 OHV engine (123cc) with a power output of 1.90 kW at 2,900 RPM and uses a recoil drive start system. This system works by holding the OPC lever against the handle and then pulling the starter cord with a strong smooth pull. The most common reasons that a lawn mower will not run smoothly is down to either the oil or carburetor.

As a general guide:A simple multiplication tells us that the front garden is (6x6) 36 square metres and the rear is (5x20) 100 square metres.

There are various mechanisms used to control that lever - sometimes the stiff wire link disappears in to the engine casing and is controlled from something internal, and other times it's from a curved 'flap' which sits close to the fan at the top of the engine - the faster the engine spins, the further the paddle (which is in the air flow) moves.

Eventually, the carburetor in any mower will need to be adjusted or replaced. If your carburetor is in need of attention, it will begin to mix the gasoline and oil in the wrong quantities, causing the mower to run either rich or lean. This can affect the performance of the mower, and prevent it from running smoothly.Always use clean, fresh petrol - stale fuel may contain deposits that will clog the carburettor. (Unleaded fuel can start to go stale after just 28 days.) The Mountfield SP164 is a step up from the HP164 with the addition of self-propelled drive. The mower matches your walking speed and takes the effort out of pushing the lawn mower across long grass or uneven ground. The best months for lawn mowing are March to October. Mowing should be done once or twice a week depending on how fast the grass grows. The best time of day to mow the grass is at the end of the afternoon and never in full sunlight. This is to prevent the grass from drying out after being cut.
