Well I tapped the starter holes that hold the top cover on and bought some suitable stainless bolts, purchased a new decomp valve and threw it all together. I pilfered the top cover and fuel tank off of the bung mower I bought as I prefer the larger fuel cap orifice of the older tank, plus the fuel cap has the fuel/oil ratio stamped on the cap should the sticker ever peel off.

I noticed it was a bit smokey when the seller fired it up for me so I mixed up some fresh fuel with the Shindaiwa 2 stroke oil I exclusively use. It fired up first pull and I was away. After the smoke cleared and with my ears buzzing I mowed a small patch and decided it passed it's first test. I'm in business.
