best lawn mower of 2011 image

I bought my house in August 2011 and lawn was brown--I thought it was dead, but the majority has come back green. I have some thin/bare spots, and was curious about overseeing. Do I mow it shorter than normal before overseeing? Also, should I spray weed control prior to overseeing?
Answer
It is suggested to cut your lawn shorter in the Fall and longer in the Summer. I've been following my own rule and keep the mower set at 2" all the time and I have a full thick lawn. DO NOT spray any weed killer if you're going to seed. The weed killer will also kill any seedlings. This is the right time of the year to put down Winter fertilizer and seed (overseed). Just make sure you also water. Once the new grass has established itself then you can put down weed killer.

I am in Need of Help starting my Toro 190cc Lawn Mower.?

So I bought this Briggs & Stratton Toro 190cc (Guaranteed to start)
recycler model # 12000 lawn mower last year, and it wont start...
We recently purchased this just last year in 2011 and we know that we have given it poor maintenance because it claims to be guaranteed to start with just one Tug of the cord.
I say poor maintenance because we let it sit in a shed with gas and oil still in it...i was told that's not a good idea?
We only use it in the summer obviously...it has regular Gas.
We bought power care prem. 4 cycle lawn mower engine oil (SAE 30 460-478) is this the best oil? if not please advise me on a better suited oil for this machine.
Now...people have been telling us to drain the oil because we left it in a shed for an entire year, we did this and we got it to start temporarily but it shut off.
what are we doing wrong? again, this is brand new and we rarely use it. should we drain the gas too?
thanx guys !.... it was the gas! ..i emptied it and waited a while and put in new gas ...
Answer
Carefully ..
Un screw the bolt that is under the carburetor bowl. This is where the gasoline sits as it is getting ready to go into the firing chamber.
Some gasoline will come out as you loosen the bolt and open the hole up under the carburetor.
Also you want to drain out -- quickly.. the old gas ....that is in this small bowl.. (ONLY).. as it might have some moisture (water) mixed in the carb.. as it has been sitting and going through "condensation".
the put the bolt back into the hole and tighten it up with the wrench.
Then push the rubber .. primer bulb.. that primes the carburetor.
Then pull the rope ... it should start up.
It should start.. if not.. unconnect the spark plug wire and unscrew the spark plug.
Take some sand paper and sand down the spark "TIP" where the spark "FIRES".. then VERY gently pour some gas onto the plug. Then put the plug back into the engine with the wrench.
Then pull the string.. it should start.
If all this does not work.. it is too late.. and you need to take it to the shop for a diagnostic repair.
