Then you have the other young people (although in the minority) that want a 2 stroke. I had a bloke pick up one a few days ago because his grandfather has one, his father has a couple so he wanted one. These people consider mixing the fuel just part of the procedure of mowing the lawn. I give everyone who buys a mower a plastic 150mm beaker and just tell them to put that much oil in 4 liters of petrol and that is all they need to do. It is easier for people to understand than just words.
That's good to hear NormK, it also doesn't help when major retailers like Bunnings haven't had a 2 stroke lawnmower on display or for sale for probably 10 years now or longer, they have only pushed Victa's with 4 stroke engines on them. This is probably also because of B&S who owns Victa and want people to just buy their B&S 4 stroke engines over the aussie 2 strokes.
The majority of people now that shop at big retailers like Bunnings will just buy what they see in the store, and you only have one choice if you want a petrol engine, 4 stroke. Then there is also electric mowers available now also.
Although now it's too late and it's the last days of whatever new 2 stroke mowers are left to be sold in Victa dealers only.
