Re: Lawnmower Engine Starting Tips??

well as part of my ongoing tuneup continues on my 2 - 3 yrs old lawnmower continues I have done the following:


Took the carb off the mower and cleaned every hole thoroughly and re-assembled it back to the mower and badda bing the mower works as good as it did when it was first bought.

Now a new project has arised: where can I get parts for a mower that could be nearly 20 yrs old ? probably no where since I checked mostly everywhere so what I have done is match the newer mower with the older one - the engine is from the same manufacturer the parts are of different construction but can be installed and should work the same way.

I shall update you all if I am successful in rigging 2001 / 2002 mower parts with a 1987 / 1990 mower
