OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers Hello Everyone

Here is a side by side comparison of the carb before and after painting. Carb was completely degreased, then soda blasted and washed and fuel passages were sprayed with carb cleaner to dislodge any remaining dirt. New diaphragm is installed. Engine block and sump cover painted. Unfortunately, I found that paint chips really easy near sharp edges and corners. Pretty sure they painted these engines after being fully assembled. Oil seals were a real pain to remove and replace. Used a 15/16 socket to tap them in evenly/gently. A 22mm socket would have been better though. Need to finish assembly and also get some oil. Internals go back in tomorrow, but first I have to find torque values for the sump cover, conrod and head bolts.
