Old motor syndrome hey GTX,
I have some carby cleaner to run through on the weekend, was up late last night cleaning the old fuel out and only got the motor 90% back together after that. Will get it fully reassembled after work tomorrow and run the cleaner through. I really am trying to keep the old motor if possible but will be buying a cheap set of calipers today to make sure on drive shaft size before refitting the motor to the mower. Being as impatient as i am, i want to be in a position to get a new motor on the weekend if the clean up of fuel system doesn't get the old girl firing properly.
Can't wait for the growing season to be over so i can strip her down completely as at the moment i need to mow twice a week, i had to pull out the rotary mower on tuesday and managed to near scalp half of the back lawn so currently really wanting to get the reel back up and running.
As a side note i did have a quick look around the engine mount bolt holes while motor is off, i cant really see much in the way of damage but need to get the rest of the old paint off too make sure. Of course i did forget to get some photos.
