This one wasn't going to the tip...............
Got some spare time today, blew rubbish away with air... and degreaser.
Had spark.
Fuel tank had rusty water inside... took it off and saw light through the bottom, a rust hole , pretty common with old ones left outside.. Lucky I had a spare carb and tank unit in my B&S box.. Needed a throttle cable , had one... a cleanup of the flywheel with sandpaper and the govener plastic vane was stiff so took it off and cleaned it...
Tightened the handles and straightened the blades....
It started , let it idle for a few minutes, to get it memory working...
Mowed the front lawn, drained the oil after it was hot , put some Moreys oil treatment in with fresh oil, sharpened the blades....
Nice aluminium base . It would do me for a mower but a friend need one....
speedy
