This mower has probably 25 years of mostly sitting . It was a three hundred dollar mower even back then. I got it for a family member who had a husband who had a quad bypass so the wife could make the yard. It came back to me when her health declined as well Now my wife has been bugging me for a mower that she can just start and run so with the electric start feature this one will be it. The tank was empty and the air filter foam on the outside was nasty so I gave her a squirt of penetrating oil in the spark plug hole and also the carb and pulled it a few times. It has the patented carb bowl with no room to get a wrench underneath. Maybe an offset wrench would work but who knows. Anyway after thinking about grinding a socket for the bowl nut, I replaced the rotten fuel line . She fired on carb cleaner and caught on the first pull. I have to replace the final drive parts at the wheels if I can figure it out, but at least it will start and run . Maybe YouTube will show me the way on the drive repair . She's a beauty but pretty heavy to push around . .
