Hi this is my first time on here, I hope I'm doing it correctly. I inherited a Scott Bonnar 45 17" from the previous owner of my home, a lovely man who has since passed away, back in 2007. I used it a few times and it ran well. After a while I reverted back to my rotary mower as the Scott Bonnar took a while to start. Maybe its the spark plug? What do they use? Not sure. Maybe lacks compression also. I'm thinking of restoring it as a project as they do cut a beautiful lawn. Would I be better off restoring the original motor or buying a new one I've seen on websites for approx.$275. I will be uploading some photos when I get the chance. Anyway hope you're all surviving the Corona virus. Take care.

Hi Greg,

Welcome to the ODK Forums.

You'll have plenty of fun here that's for sure.

As to your newly acquired toy, it will be best to start a new thread about it here,

Cheers,
