Thank you Zane!! Greatly appreciate your support and kind words! I legit for a second thought this might be a bust. But I persevered. Keep it safe, keep it wrenching..blessings and respect my friend!
Awesome David!…, you got the ole girl running again…, have to tell you …, I believe that I replaced the starter at some point when I owned it…, also , when it was only about a year old.. it quit running.., I carried it to a guy who worked on mowers…,he claimed that he had to grind the valves …, don’t know about that…, anyway it served me well for years…, it just got tired.., and so did I.., so I got another mower…, just glad you could get it running again 👍
@@LarryWilliams-e6i I would suspect "grinding the valves" was shortening the valve rod so they could be set without bottoming out. Took me a while, but I finally got to working on it. Glad I did. I'll make sure to send you updates on it. Blessings and respect!
@@robertmailhos8159 In a perfect world it would be. But, I too don't like Nikki carburetors either. This one is a clone till I rebuild the OEM one fully. Blessings and respect!
Nice work David! 😁👍 I was glad it started and ran after the hard work. Happy wrenching my friend 🔧

Long term goals, yes. I'll be pulling this engine for the MaDeere mud mower project. Blessings and respect!
