How do I service a petrol lawn mower?

Both my lawn mowers (Mountfield and Qualcast)need servicing. It can't be that difficult! Can anybody supply me with basic instructions to get me started?

No problem - as lawn mower dealers can provide you with a service kit which consists of a new spark plug, engine oil and air filter...all that is basically needed to keep your mower sweet. I would suggest that a blade sharpen would be worthwhile though. Its also important to keep the engine cylinder fins free of grass clippings as these do cause overheating.
