I hope this feeling, this huge accomplishment of moving forward makes you proud of yourself. If not, then I'll be proud of you - way to go!

P.S. I cut the stupid safety valve thingy off and use a funnel. Smart move on your part. Also, get some carb cleaner and put a dab in the gas can. Your carb is gumming up and that's mostly what causes stalling - that and cutting to wide a swath in way overgrown grass.

Also, at the end of the cutting season run your mower until it runs out of gas and toss any unused gas in the can. It goes bad over the winter and will make your lawn mower hard or impossible to start and run come next year.

Use a product called STA-BIL Small Engine Pro Multi-System Additive - Protects Against Ethanol - Cleans Carb And Injectors - Improves Engine Efficiency - Lubricates Valves And Pistons, 16 fl. oz. (22305)

With hi test to upper mid range gas

Good luck

@Justmeraeagain I need to use the trimmer in my garden and I don’t know how to use it so right now I’m using scissors 😂

Good job! It’s definitely a little intimidating learning this kind of stuff

great😊

That, I think, is a major factor after losing a spouse. It doesn’t heal the hurt magically, but you start realizing that you CAN do it. Hugs.
