Hey guys,
Found a Rockwell mower on the curb, looks to have the Chonda engine. Visually looks OK, but when I checked the Oil, it smells a little like fuel. A quick google search said it could be running rich, possibly from carb needle not sealing, so I've taken the carb off, stripped down, stuck it in the US cleaner for a little bit (cleaner's a bit on the small side), but will run carb cleaner though the holes when I get a chance. Inspecting the carb however, it all looks fairly clean on the inside.
I haven't started the mower yet, not sure if it even starts. Didn't want to cause more issues if there was one. Anything else it could be? Worn/damaged piston/bore perhaps ? I'll have to inspect it when I get a chance, but does anyone know what the valve clearances are for it too ? Not 100% sure on model either, so I'll have to have another look when I have light.
p.s. how do I embed images rather than having them as attachments ? The "insert image link" doesn't work
.
