All the Farm and Fleet stores here in Michigan went bankrupt about 2 years ago. I had thought it was entire country, guess not.

The engine in my mower is only running on one cylinder. Found mice had chewed on one plug wire and had to replace the wires and magneto as they are one unit. Made no difference, switched plugs also but nothing. Don't have a repair manual so don't know if there is any other wires involved in...
