    Hello! I poured diesel fuel into the NAC mower where gasoline is poured. I mowed the plot a few times with it, it was smoking terribly, but I didn't care about it. Eventually the day came that it went out for me and refused to fire. It fired, but it squeaked loudly, so I turned it off and it doesn't fire at all anymore.
    Anyone know what to do? Service? Scrap? I don't want to pay money ...

Remember that advice is provided remotely in the absence of physical access to the device, the problem must be very well described and understood by users, and the title should include the brand, model and a brief description of the fault.

    So if you don't want to cash out, why did you pour oil instead of gasoline? I would undress and clean the fuel system with carburetor and candles, pour gasoline and check if it starts.

    I also had an adventure with diesel fuel unknowingly poured into a NAC mower.
    After adding fuel, I fired it, but after a while it started to work and smoke strangely. I release the brake to stop her, but she keeps walking. I don't know what to do, I took the pipe off the candle, it goes on. Only when I ran into some thickets it strangled her. After pouring diesel fuel and filling in gasoline, it started without any problems and it continues today. But for me, she only worked on diesel for a few minutes.

    It is unrealistic for her to work a few seconds without a candle.

    Pour out the fuel, clean the carburetor, spark plugs, check if it works, otherwise seized.
    I think it will work after thorough cleaning.
