I just put her back together. Thanks to your advice I cut off the starter cup and got the flywheel nut off. I cleaned the fuel tank and carburettor, put it all back together and used a drill to start her up and first go she fired and ran beautifully. In all my years of working on lawnmowers ive never been so happy to hear one fire up. Its loud as, due to the hole in the muffler, so any ideas on how or who could fix it would be extremely appreciated. Just waiting for a cowling to come along, and once it does i will do a full resto on this baby.
