Head to b&q for new spark plug, get one but it’s the wrong size - I only noticed when I got it home despite having the old one with me 

Its raining now so opportunity’s gone 

Don't leave last seasons petrol in it over the winter.

Siphon it or burn it off in the autumn

Clean deck.  Oil deck. Top up oil.

Put her a away for a well earned rest. Then let her do her magic in spring.

All depends what sort of a mower you have but golden rules .

Run until dry 

Replace the spark plug 

Replace the oil 

Air filter every two years 

Wash it down and WD40 on all moving parts .


Had mine for 16 years and no problems

Culchies moaning about lawn mowers. 
You could have saved yourself the outlay on spark plugs and WD40 by buying a gaff in Dublin. You’d have to pay about €750k for 50q metres but at least you’d have no garden to worry about

You get a lawnmower serviced?
