Hi there, I have inherited a very well maintained Ransome Marquis Mark 4A petrol mower.

I can't seem to find anything about this model online and I really need to know what petrol I can use in it - I know if it is a four stroke engine, I'll be fine with normal unleaded but I can't tell if it's a 2 or four stroke engine.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Does it have an oil fill tube with a dipstick? If yes, it is a 4 stroke
engine.

Four strokes have an oil filled crank case. Is there a filler plug to put
oil in it? If not, it could be a two stroke. Notice I said "could". Make
sure you're sure before you fire it up, or you could fry it.

Hi Steve & Bill,

Thanks for your advice, I am now convinced it's a four stroke.

Just a shame the weather is so dire at the moment.

Thanks again,

Rob
