The only thing permanent is change
For as long as most of us can remember, the U.S. automobile business has had cycles. Whenever there was a down cycle, you knew you had to hang in there, and before long, things would come back to normal. And then you would see the cycle head upward again.

Lawnmower engine, 1 groove, 40% fuel savings.

Mr. Singh,
During March 2007, I modified the head of my 3.5 horsepower Briggs and Stratton Lawnmower engine with a single groove.  Before modification and in good tune, I would run out of fuel before cutting the last 3 x 10 meters of my lawn.  I modified the head with a single groove (picture is attached).  After modification I mow my entire lawn plus the neighbor's lawn before refueling.  Both lawns are almost the same size.  Fuel consumption is reduced at least 40%, conservative estimate.  I was able to lean the fuel to air mix after the modification but not before.  Mid-range power is improved, and the engine runs cleaner.  Your grooved cylinder head technique works very well on flathead engines.  Feel free to post this information on your website.

Mr. Singh, would 3 grooves instead of 1 be better?

I've done the same to a 3.5 HP Briggs push mower....using 3 grooves. Also added a roll of screening to the intake tube...as seen here...

Also leaned it out. Have not tested for efficiency gain...mower seems to run the same...good power.
