Hi again Grumpy and Joe
Got mower all fixed up (carby seals needed replacing) pulled the cord once and the mower is now spinning without compression, I am pretty sure that the conrod has broken as the blade spins freely in both directions. It did not seem to do this before? Nothing is broken on that outside (ie crankcase is not damaged). I am still not sure what happened mower had plenty of oil, although it was empty when I got it. I am now looking at taking the engine apart and fixing it (this is going to be a project). The first problem is that I cannot get the blade boss off the mower. Is there any easy way of doing this?
Secondly do you know what else I should look for inside the motor? I am going to re-hone the cylinder and put in an over size piston (I already have the piston and tools required). I am also obviously going to replace the conrod and any other damaged parts.
Look forward to hearing back from you guys soon
