Stump the Mechanic - America's Favorite Quiz Show
Why does my lawn equipment idle faster (in my case run better) just before it is about to run out of gas? Please quiet in the audience...
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

I would think that the gas mixture going into the engine leans out as the gas runs out causing the engine to increase in rpm's ....

Or maybe the question should be....... why does it run out of fuel when you only have one strip leaved to do ???I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

My Ex is a Speech Pathologist and would agree that this happens. She would come home and say such and such at the home was energetic or youthful today and then ... well, just like my mower. Thanks for the answers. Since I was a kid when the mower would run better just before running out of gas I would think, well isn't that funny. Wish it ran that good full....

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

The engine is leaning out causing the RPM to increase.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

If it "leans" out too far will it tip over?

The mower runs better because the motor is warmed up!

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
