If you have a simple push mower, the governor is a small plastic fin attached to your throttle. The fin is underneith the engine cover in the area that spins (part that you pull on a pull start mower)
If its a push lawn mower. It has no oil release. The mower burns the oil. All you do is replace the oil when it gets low.
It just unscrews from the motor

Depends on the size of the lawn mostly. A push mower (or better yet a powered drive push mower) would have the best control in rough terrain, but if it is a large lawn a riding mower is better.
Zero turn lawn mowers can be either a riding lawn mower or a push lawn mower, depending on you're preference. Push lawn mowers start around three hundred dollars.
what kind of oil for a sears push mower and how much?
The governor may be sticking wide open. There are two long link connections with a spring attached to the carburetor - one leads to the governor, a small lever that comes out of the engine. Clean the area where it enters into the engine with WD-40 or similar lubricant.
Replace the small wheels on the back with larger diameter wheels.
a push mower DOES NOT NEED GAS!! ( a good one though LOL)

Assuming this is a push type mower, one would have to adjust the tension of the governor spring. Less tension would equal a slower mower speed. Do notperform any adjustments unless you have a repair manual for the exact model of engine you are working on and completely understand what you are doing. This procedure would be best left to be done by a small engine repair shop.
