    • R
      Raymond JenkinsAug 23, 2025
      Poor engine performance in your Scotts Lawn Mower can occur due to several fuel-related issues. It might be caused by dirt in the fuel system or old fuel. Replacing the fuel with fresh, stabilized fuel is a suggested solution. Fuel blended with alcohol or ether can also lead to gum and varnish deposits, particularly if stored for extended periods; in this case, it's advisable to obtain fresh fuel. If you suspect fuel quality, try obtaining fuel from another supplier.
