Hi,

Im posting this here instead of the mower section because the majority of the populace hangs out in this section and those might benefit might be here also.

So, back in Spring I had an electric starter and it started with the turn of the key. No problems. The mower was Toro Personal 21inch. After messing up in sharpening the blade, I exchanged it for Toro Personal Mower without electric starter which was on sale.

The mower was 'guaranteed to start' but sadly, after a few cuts, I had trouble starting it. I was pulling and pulling and pulling. It hadn't even been a month since I had it. But then I remembered something I read on one of these forums about the recommended the use of Premium gas instead of Regular for starting issues. I went ahead and bought a gallon of premium and so far, it really does start the first time, every time. :]

Just thought those who have starting issues might benefit. Good Luck =)
