Re: Lawnmower Engine Starting Tips??

Ooooh blackness.... you're flooding it and your rings might be gone. Or it's probably just 20 years of carbon build up. Get a putty knife and scrape it off, use sand paper too but don't damage the mating surfaces. Get a can of PB Blaster and use that while cleaning it. Smells like moth balls and diesel but worth it's weight in gold.
Look down the cylinder wall if there are deep marks, don't even bother. If there are deep marks just forget it Essentially it's the second most easiest engine to fiddle with.





Let me know and send some pics along of this bad larry. If you want to get deep into it I'll give ya a hand.....from waaayyyy ovah heah!!
