Just an update. I got the mower running (but little throttle control) with the help of BigTed. He pointed out that the smaller tecumseh engines have the same blower as this one. I got a wreck for $5 and replaced the blower on the one I was fixing. The carb had a leaky primer bulb so i got a new carb off ebay too. It starts first pull now but seems to have the same throttle speed no matter what the lever does. At the moment it is either full speed or no speed and it is also leaking oil around the bottom of the oil filler pipe.
