$350. Had it running on quick-start but it wouldn't pick up the fresh gas in the tank. The carb is going to have to come off and be cleaned. No problem. I'll replace the seat and flip if for 1k. It's like new.
It had domino problems. - Carb needed cleaning...had to disassemble the back to get at it. Exhaust pipe was bent in the way of two screws. Fixed that. - Then it wouldn't go in gear...pulled steering wheel and disassembled steering column to get at the cables and lever. One cable had broken strands from being adjusted too lose, both were seized and needed a lot of coaxing and soaking to free them up. Got everything back together and working. Ordered one new cable. - The drive belt started smoking after 10 minutes of mowing. Primary and final drive belts were both trashed. Replaced both belts and a frozen idler. Fixed. - Started mowing again. Deck belt gave out. Replaced the belt - works fine. - Went mowing again. Stalled after 5 minutes. Won't start. I had cleaned the tank, replaced the furl line and filter, cleaned the carb completely when I took the arse end apart. I guess I missed something. It's parked in the garage until I stop cursing. Moved on to fixing my Ariens mower belt. 😶
How much did you pick that up for? How did she run after you got it running?
