Front axle moves up and down quite a bit too, giving a suspension effect. I'm sure the mower will work ok though.
Hi MF,
If you want it reliable, I would do a decoke, I put a better ring in if it needs it. Decoke exhaust manifold. Run a wire brush on a drill over all the alloy and it brings up a shine.
You find little problems that are fixable...... Wirebrush the coil face and flywheel...reface points....
regrease wheels, I soak the base in molasses and in 3 weeks it clean as.....
These are not 125s but 160s..... I mowed a few lawns with them and sold them.. a easy spray paint,
....... I have kept two utilities.......
Always on the lookout for utilities...
I swear I'll keep them in future...
cheers
speedy
