Stepney 2,354 #1 Posted October 22, 2013 I have been meaning to post some things for awhile now... I finally got around to it. I had this for most of the summer, sometimes it runs, sometimes not. It has a Power Products 2 cycle. I haven't seen much info on these... It cuts great when it runs. Makes a nice mower, for about 1/2 a horse and 18" cut! It sure kills the backup Craftsman, or the only other backup... "'Ol NeverFail!" Which is a 1908 Pennsylvania Quality 19" Push Reel Mower. When it last ran, I needed to get out of the smoke for a bit, and it hasn't started since, (Carb Issues), that was two months ago. Spenser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,354 #2 Posted April 12, 2014 Well, hate to bring this thing back, but springtime is coming fast... Anyone have any idea what's up with this old cast aluminum heap? I messed with it for the whole afternoon... timed it, cleaned the carb, tried another coil-plate... STILL wont run! Piece of garbage... Did get it cleaned up though. Anyone seen another of these? I need a LawnBoy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stepney 2,354 #4 Posted April 12, 2014 ITS ALIVE! Gee, now if I stopped to think about the carb inlet needle.. it would have run months ago! It still runs terribly, skipping and missing with smoke... but its getting better! I'll have to PM him. Thanks, Spenser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stepney 2,354 #6 Posted April 13, 2014 Oh, I'm used to smoke. I have a 2 cylinder Maytag engine. They both run 16:1, I'm not too new to smoke! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
