Hi There
I have exactly the same mower - see photo. It's a Scott Bonnar 45 model# 45058, with 3 hp Briggs & Stratton, 17 inch cut. The model no of the Briggs & Stratton engine is 80202 , code 90100303 which means it was built 3/10/90. I have recently stripped & cleaned the carbie as has not been started for 15 years, replaced the gaskets & diaphragm, cleaned the fuel tank & new oil. It starts fine but may not have put the springs back in the right order - was wondering if you can post a photo of what the carbie & springs should like like (when air filter cover removed). The other issues I have are 1. the drive mechanism is still engaged at times when the knob is in the disengage position (is this a clutch issue?)
2. The drive & clutch chains have around 20mm of play & cannot be adjusted to take up the slack, the cogs look fine. Would you recommend I take a link out of each chain as first option
