Well I think that may have solved my problem. Decided I would at least see if I could get it running. Well that was a bad idea. First thing I noticed accelerator cable seized with rust. So I thought oh no,checked carby full of water. Bugger just pulled the head off. Cylinder full of water. Surprising though no rust in the bore a good hone and it would be great. Then checked the crank. Bottom bearing seized rock solid upper bearing turns but is rough. Top bearing very tight does turn but doesn't want to. Conrod bearing seems to be ok. Broke the top ring as it was very very stuck in grove.
So now I'm more at a loss. Do I spend that much time to fix it? Not even sure I have a spare cable.
Is this in anyway a collectible mower?
Does it hold some of the history in the Mustang range?
Is it worth keeping in my collection?
Any comment would be great as I really don't know. This is the first mower I've ever had that I don't know what to do with it.
