Your only loving it because it died.

Anyway ive had a cry. lets give it some love.

I went by the saying of not looking a gift horse (mower) in the mouth.

I agree the spark setup is dodgy but spark is OK.

Would love to be at a mower shop, but the nearest mower shop is the best part of 1000km away!

I was planning a major overhaul, just need to get the parts. I noticed there are no crankshaft seals on the outdoorking website?

The cylinder and piston look to be in pretty good condition (through exhaust port).

More investigation to be done on bearings etc, but I am a bit stretched for time at the moment.

Thanks for your help.
