You do not change the wheel height, you change the cutter height,there should be an arm sticking up neart he rear wheel, you just push it to the side a little and push it either forward or backward.
Hope this helps

Hi anastasialou...

Sounds like you have dirt/debris in your carburetor jets,fuel passages or a diaphgram that is becoming non-flexible.
Be sure to check your fuel tank for water and dirt/debris, if there is water/debris then you need to clean your tank.
Also check you fuel line condition after a while they will degrade and need replacment.
Make sure you are getting spark at the spark plug, to do this:
Remove your spark plug and check to be sure you are getting fire at the spark plug.
You do this by grounding the plug on the head of the engine and pulling the crank rope, if you are getting spark then:
Check/Clean/Replace your fuel filter if you have one, normally they are located in the fuel tank of weedeaters.
When you remove your fuel lines from the carburetor be sure to make a drawing to how the lines are connected to the carburetor.
Normally the big line will be the line the fuel filter is connected to inside of the tank.The smaller of the two lines is the return to the fuel tank from the carburetor after it is pumped thru the carburetor by the primer bulb.
Also make sure you are using fresh fuel...and oil mix if your using a two cycle mower or weedeater with the oil to the right mixture and not too much oil as it can cause hard starting.
If the mower/weedeater is over a couple of years old, then I recommend that you buy and install a new carburetor repair kit,because the diaphragm will get hard and that will cause it to be hard to crank.
Sounds like you will need to clean the carburetor or replace your carburetor internal rubber parts like the diaphgram and O rings.
I recommend that you use a laquer thinner type cleaner to clean and dissolve the laquer build-up in the float and needle jet passages.
Be sure to remove all plastic and rubber parts before using the laquer thinner because it can dissolve the plastic parts and render them unuseable.
Be sure to use compressed air to blow out all the fuel and air passages.
Be careful when blowing out the passages, because there are sometimes small rubber type seats in the bottom of some of the passages.
Sometimes you can get by with priming the carburetor or using starting fluid and letting it run a few times like that and it will flush the gunk out of the jets,but most of the time you will need to rebuild the carburetor.
Keep in mind that the float (if you have one) for the carburetor must be level when you go to reassemble the carburetor or follow the instructions you get with the carburetor kit.
When you clean your carburetor and remove the jet screws, you will first need to lightly seat the jet screws.
But before you lightly seat the jet screws count the number of turns it takes to seat the jet screws from their original position.
Be sure to mark the turns down on a piece of paper.
That way when you put the jets back in, you know to lightly seat them first and then turn them back out to their orginal position before you started.
Once you have your carburetor rebuilt that should solve your problem.

SOURCE: i got hold of a sanli 350 lawn mower 4 stroke the

No No No No!!! If your mower is definitely a 4 stroke then do NOT put 2 cycle engine oil in it (and I hope they didn't either). Drain out whatever's in there completely and put standard 30 wt. oil in there. Not 10W30, but straight 30 weight. Use synthetic even if you want longer engine life.

Hi there's been 2 stroke oil put in tank of a 4 stroke petrol engine mower what's best way to clean to get it starting

A little gas oil mix won't hurt your engine, remove most of the gas oil mix with a turkey baster, and refill with fresh gas.

I have a Rover Push lawn mower. Type 02031, Serial Number 0254990, Briggs and Stratton Quantam40 XTRA. My son has put two stroke petrol mix into this 4 stroke mower. Is this a problem?

Your mower is likely to throw out clouds of blue smoke, just as a 2 stroke engine does.

The spark plug may become oily and fouled, misfire and splutter/stall.

However, it's not a really serious problem and you're not going to cause any permanent damage. The easiest solution is to get a tube and syphon the 2 stroke mix out of the mower's fuel tank.

Should there be any kind of rubber washer inside the Petrol Cap to make a seal so that petrol does not leak out when mower is turned on its side

yes there should. BUT you really shouldnt tip a mower on its side. If its a 4 stroke mower then theres a good chance engine oil will come up through the breather and into your air filter and carb,or into the exhaust if tipped the other way. As a rule most mowers should be tipped backwards so the spark plug is upward.

2-stroke or 4-stroke?

Well, if it has an oil drain plug and/or a fill plug for oil, It's a 4 stroke. If it has an odd shaped muffler/resonator, it's a 2 stroke.

How to start challenge xtreme petrol lawnmower

This mower in nigh on impossible to start, having had a Briggs and Stratton previously the xtreme isn't fit for purpose. I bought brand new one 2 weeks ago and the only way it would start ( after 20 attempts, no exaggeration ) was to swap the spark plug with my old B&S. It's very prone to flooding, as it fails to start everytime y pull the cord with the throttle open it's pumping more fuel in. I'm taking it back tomorrow, managed to cut the grass twice and now refuses to start at all, Advise yu to avoid at all costs.

I have a Poulan 625 push mower. What type of oil should I use in it? I can't find my manual.

If it has a 4 stroke engine, as most lawnmowers do, then you just car engine oil. Very occasionally you come across 2 stroke mowers.

The way to know if it's a 4 stroke or 2 stroke engine is, if it has an oil tank it's a 4 stroke engine. If there's only the one tank, i.e. you mix the oil with the petrol then it's a 2 stroke engine.

If it's a 2 stroke engine you mix petrol and 2 stroke oil at a ratio of 40:1

Dear Expert I have a McCulloch M40-450CP Petrol Lawn mower. I have lost the instructions. i know it takes 4 stroke oil but i cannot find where i put the oil in, does it go into the petrol tank - like you...

If is a 4 stroke don't put oil in fuel tank. There is oil fill. Not familiar with this model. If it is a walk behind mower check at base of engine there may be a plug there it has 2 little pegs sticking up.
