I got a pretty good deal on a local bid wars site on a Husqvarna self propelled mower with the 161cc DOV B&S mower with ready start. Only 3 years old and barely used, looks basically brand new. I bought it last year at the end of the season after purchasing a house. The lady switched her lawn over to fake grass so she had no more use for it.
I drained the fuel and changed the oil with Mobil 1 5w30 before storing it. I pulled it out a couple weeks ago and threw some fuel in and it started the first pull. I'm wondering if anybody has experience with these newer DOV motors? Seems to run very nicely and certainly starts much easier then some older mowers I've used in the past.
Is there any reason to run premium fuel in this to avoid having ethanol in the fuel?
Any other things I should be doing with this before starting the mowing season?
Thanks
