I posted a little while back that I bout three mowers for 25 buck. The Hi vac, a John Deere made by lawnboy with a 2 stroke motor and one other Briggs powered one. On the Hi vac the carb was gone due to the fuel tank being half full of water. It had a carb with a choke and adjustable idle jet bit I replaced it with a primer style carb. Just put it together last night and it took off and run. I have about 60 bucks in parts on it so far. Looks like I need to replace the head gasket as it seams to be leaking all over like itnisnt tight. The muffler needs some attention and I need to replace all the wheels.
The carb sticks out to far to put it into high gear but I might be able to fix that by useig the thin gasket for the intake. That might also fix my throttle arm sticking also.
I need to play with the carb adjustment some more to see if it will lug a little better. I want to put a ninja mulch kit on it but it runs low on power now in thick crab grass.
I figure that the engine had been replaced at some point but I finally found a model decode that said it originally had a Wisconsin Robin engine on it.
