What happens here

To minimize initial expenses, seek out existing, unused lawn mowers that you can acquire for free or at a very low cost. Zane was able to utilize an old, worn-out lawn mower that his parents already owned. Inspect the mower for common issues like a fouled spark plug, a dirty air filter, or brittle gas lines. Purchase the necessary inexpensive replacement parts, such as a spark plug, an air filter, and possibly some gas lines. Perform the repairs yourself to get the mower in working condition. This cost Zane approximately $20.

Goal: Obtain a functional lawn mower with minimal financial outlay.

Tools and materials

  • Screwdrivers — Accessing air filter compartments or carburetor adjustments
  • Wrenches/Socket Set — Removing and installing spark plugs and other components
  • Air Filter — To keep dirt and debris out of the engine's carburetor
  • Gas Lines — To replace cracked or leaky fuel lines
  • Spark Plug — To ignite the fuel in the engine
