Need a little bit of direction on what to look for now?

Steve can you post a picture of the carby area showing the gov spring as ozziejohn said that the engine is more than likely one of the China made ones. This is easy to tell as the casing has ripples in it.

I have been noticing very poor quality steel and as they used to say plastic is as strong as steel years ago and nobody would believe that but guess what, plastic is now stronger than the steel that is being produced. cheers2
