enough is enough. it must of been run on straight fuel before. the whole case is toast and good for the trash. I will keep the carby decompressor cowl and chassis for another mower if I build one. like I said before, I made a new mower out of a chassis I found on the street, and my spares I had. It worked first go. This is a waste of time. also I wont be honing it as I can be bothered wasting any more time on it.
