The most common mower fault we saw last year across Dorset was water in the fuel, causing poor running, stalling, or no start at all. Moisture can enter via condensation, old petrol, or poorly sealed tanks. Prevent issues by using fresh fuel, proper storage, or Aspen fuel. If your mower shows signs like uneven running or cloudy fuel, stop use and have it checked to avoid costly damage.

As the snow clears from your lawn keep an eye open for a build-up of rotting leaves, branches, and other winter debris?
