So i have decided to leave this one alone, after a motor change.



I like to use when i help my wife mow her clients lawns. It cuts really well.
The reactions i get are gold. and i have only had it for a week.
HeHe she loves it cause i help her more.

Baffle plate and heat exchanger thing.
I am not going to put on the round rubber thing on this motor. i think. maybe.
Dont really know much about it, seems like a good idea too me.
Any advice out there in ODK land?

the spacer for between the carb and the cylinder was a fix added post sale, the heat of the engine used to cause the fuel to evaporate before it got to the engine.

cheers tomo. I will not use it as I have looked into it. and i want to make this original and a working mower. i can not find any evidence it was used on this motor. found rust colour paint.
thanks again tomo.
