It is, but being that the mower has a total capacity of only 22 ounces, I guess it's more sensitive than the Buick.

Remove plugs and go to the local lake. Throw them in. If they float to the top, put them back in.

If not... well, just replace them with new plugs.

You could cheat and just get new plugs. For some vehicles I'd never clean the plugs and just install new ones because of the difficulty in getting to them.

Yeah a extra three quarters quart is likely over full...

Which isn't something I'll ever understand, my mower is maybe at 4/5 full on stick and has been for a couple years... No issue at all, one of these days I'll change it...

Did you use vodka?

Your exhaust is next to the spark plug?
