I'm asking this question here because it's the only forum I visit here, and you people are smart.
I think I killed my mower. I came home from cruise and we were out of gas, so I grabbed the small 1 gal can which had some left, poured all of it in, and went to work. The next week it started having trouble. It was running very rough, and has been continuing to do so ever since. I realized about 2 weeks ago that the small can had 2-cycle fuel/oil mix in it for our blower which we got right before I left, and had forgotten about. So... I put 2-stroke fuel/oil in my mower.
I drained the tank, replaced the fuel filter, replaced the spark plug, and replaced the air filter. I sprayed some carb cleaner in the carb, but can't really get in there good. The new spark plug is looking black when I take it out to check it.
Now, when I first start it, it sounds great. But when it warms up it sounds like it's dying with lots of misses and slower than usual speed.
So... what can I do? If I have to take it all apart to clean it, then I'm taking it to someone. But is there anything I haven't done that I should?
