I just want to get it going and lend it to friends.............. I'ts always a good idea to take top off and check coil gap, and rust.... Anyway check the dust in the starter thing... Reset coil gap.... cleaned fuel tank, and carb bowl, bit of dirt....... Sharpened blades. Mowed half the backyard, but the springs on carb are out of wack...... that's next job.... but it has plenty of power and a little smoke.... speedy
........................Keep your blades sharp......................
