  1. Just disconnect the wires connected to seat, it'll work. Also put on your owner hat and disconnect the one connected to reverse. Both are designed to ground the ignition out, and will work if not connected. If you promise not to fall off - steep slopes, tree limbs, tight turn on a steep slope - you'll be fine. Or hook it back up. But leave the reverse interlock off.

  2. I can see bad gas on many small engines, but mowers are normally exempt, they never sit that long. Unless the gas goes bad in the can I suppose.

  3. The built in charger is very weak on most mowers. Use charger when you are done.

  4. Apparently a non interference engine, else you'd have bent connecting rods and massive damage. At a minimum, new push rods. Most of them call for straight 30 weight.
