Fleet Farm, Tractor Supply, probably AutoZone/O'Rieley/etc. It's not a special "iridium tipped" plug, just a standard spark plug.homie wrote:Here's your plug if you shop Amazon... I wish it was 1.29 where did you see that price?

Scooter runs, though - so no need to change.
Use the same maint. practices on the engine oil. Keep the orig. oil topped up, never change it, and she'll likely run longer than you will own it. My 18 yr old Sear's mower outlasted me this way.

On my Honda lawn mower they have a recommended schedule for changing the oil, but they don't provide a drain hole in order to drain It! That means that I have to turn the lawn mower upside down to drain the oil. Boo....

Actually my wife has graduated to a Ryobi 36v battery mower, it's amazingly good on flat ground, but the Honda is best for all round cutting.
My son must have a different model, his is not located on the lower side of the engine where mots are, rather underneath where the blade is ... it gets covered with a layer of grass & stuff, but that's where his is.Mel46 wrote:Speaking of lawn mowers, I am glad that Honda thought enough about changing oil on the PCX that they actually put a bottom drain plug in.

Red Green had an F-150 that had a seized drain plug....so he had to do the same as with your mower.Mel46 wrote:Speaking of lawn mowers, I am glad that Honda thought enough about changing oil on the PCX that they actually put a bottom drain plug in.

Couldn't help but laugh. . .sorry. . ..Red Green had an F-150 that had a seized drain plug....so he had to do the same as with your mower.
No, he's not stupid. He didn't turn the truck over - instead he pried the engine out, with some difficulty - not having any tools save for a spud bar and a sledge. Poured the oil into a bucket, to use in his wife's car.
A fellow just needs to think things through....
