Unfortunately the crankshaft is vertical, so it would not work in a kart without some complex engineering to solve the transmission problems (otherwise I'd have done it). This is a good deal though, Wilko seems to have the same deal at the end of every summer, I bought one (same price) two years ago, and it works just fine. The engines are OHV (sort of Honda copy) so much better by design than SV motors (like B&S). The body is plastic, and will not last as long as a Honda, but it will probably be good for a decade before the UV light starts to make it too brittle. I have added some heat, this is not a new post in that it happens every year, but it is still a good mower at a bargain price.

A bit of welding and a couple of gears and i'm sure i'd have it mounted somehow :smile:

...it might be a bit more complex than you think cowboy! The biggest problem would be that the engine has to be mounted horizontally and with the crankshaft vertical because of the lubrication (it is a 4-stroke, so the sump has to be at the bottom). That means one would have to turn the drive through 90 degrees. Probably the easiest way would be a twisted belt, but it would not last long transmitting (say) 3kW. Other problems would be the lack of a clutch (maybe use an adustable pulley on the drive belt, like a 1905 motorcycle?), providing some sort of differential (maybe just power one wheel?) and modifying the carburettor so it was not a single speed engine.
I just though about the issues whilst cutting the grass (hopefully for the last time this year) with mine just a few minutes ago. I concluded that although it seemed like a good idea, it would be much easier to use a small mororcycle or moped engine that had the drive the right way up, a clutch (maybe some gears as well - a neutral would be really useful) and a variable speed carburettor.

Is there anyway of doing a stock check on these? The last time a wilko mower deal was posted I went to the store and they said they hadn't heard of he reduction, yet others were posting they got the deal

Picked mine up at 8.30 am this morning from sunny Dagenham :sunglasses: Well pleased, it looks exactly the same as my 4 year old Tesco one, and that still starts first time, but a bit worse for wear. :innocent:

Did they have any left?

Sadly it was the last one
Long shot, but you could do what I did and phone Wilko CS tell them what you are looking for and they can tell you if there is one about?

Is there any way I can look up stock or is it a matter of calling round? Ta

14 Sep 17#43
As far as I know you have to phone one at a time. But if you call their Customer Service they can do it for you much quicker on their tracking system, that is my understanding.

Are these actually any good, will they last?? I have an old McCulloch that I bought 2nd hand off eBay for £36 about 9 years ago and it's been solid, I've only serviced it once and it's never let me down but this seems a great deal and my McCulloch is looking very tired. I just don't want to swap and this only last 2 or 3 years....

12 Sep 17#12
To be honest I don't think this'll last me 9 years if I get 4 or more years it'll be a bonus. And at £45 to service my current one (no I don't and won't pay that) its a no brainer for me lol

Of course this is not awesome (note the spelling), but it is a good deal if one is in the market for a lawnmower at the end of summer.

None at my local. They were reducing everything in their gardening department. There was a huge gas BBQ at £40. Reduced from £150ish or something silly.

I got this a couple of weeks ago for £52. I had a bit of trouble getting it going last time I used it, so I'm not convinced yet. Took about 20 pulls to get the engine started, and then it must have died 3 times during the 25 mins I used it. Each time it took a few tugs to get it going again. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, if I got a duffer, or if I'm just expecting too much from a £50 lawn mower!

Cheers OP , managed to track one down at Newton Abbott this morning - was the last one. ended up buying a bistro set, bench and another duo seat too ! If it helps I can confirm none in Exeter Guidhall, Torquay, Barnstaple and of course Newton Abbott ( now ).

Girl in the store checked for stock of these in the whole of the North West and they had none; she even went down as far as Birmingham but nadda. Wild goose chase.
