Found the mower on the side of the road. Cheap bottom-of-the-barrel WalMart Murray mower. Got it running, but it smoked. And never stopped. Got curious, so I started to tear down the engine (why not, right?) Don't recall ever seeing a piston like this before with the 4 indentations in it. The rusty crud on the inside of the piston (and the general poor shape of the rest of the mower) tells me that maybe this had some water in it. Anyway, thought I'd share.
Edit: the engine is a 10A902 2180 B1.
