Lawn boy gold series, had straight gas ran in it. will it live again???

a guy I work with gave me this gold series lawn boy about a year or so ago. it belonged to his mother and she used it for years. he accidentally put regular gas in it and ran it for about ten minutes before realizing his mistake. he called a small engine repair shop that he used in the past and they told him not to bother bringing it to them because it was junk.lets find out if they were right about that or not. my gut says they were wrong. thanks for watching and god bless you. please consider subscribing.

I've always loved lawnboys super light to mow with and don't bog down . I made a lot of money as kid with em ! And still love them!

Veb68, I call them the poor man's commercial mower because nowadays That's what they are in my opinion. They are well build, they will run forever with correct fuel oil mix and require next to zero maintenance. As far as push mowers go they are no doubt my favorite. I buy every neglected one I can afford too. Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great day and God bless you.

Honestly from what I've seen alot of repair shops just don't want to fool with them and if they are also a dealer they just want to sell you a new 4 stroke that won't last near as long. I have a few from the 1960s and 90s one of them a 10422 that looks almost like that one. Most of the ones i have are from the 70s. D and F series mowers. There great. Awesome job getting it going again.👍

Bradley, most repair shops today are outrageous. They want to charge a fee just to bring it in the shop and put it on the bench. That's why these old mowers get left like they do. I enjoy them and I'm happy you do too. Thanks for watching and God bless you.

I wish I had a lawn boy

Sam, there's nothing quite like the sound of a lawn boy. They are hands down my favorite push mower. I call them the poor man's commercial mower. To me that's what they are. Often they are given away or can be bought second hand for half of what a normal gas one would. I think people are afraid of them because of the two stroke when in fact they are easier to maintain and last longer and do a better job especially in thick brush.ill.bet if you check your local Facebook marketplace you could find one for a good price that would give you years of good service.
