Thanks guys smile Didn't realise there was a puller for them blush , will have to remember that next time. Would I need one to re-assemble the flywheel back on?

Thought as much regarding the muffler, the crack does seem a little far gone, ill certainly keep an eye out for a cheap one or a cheap spare parts mower. What other mowers/series would match the 2 stroke Mustang for parts?

Roughly, once the mower is up and running, how much do they usually go for? I payed about $21 for this one, a new piston w/ rings is around $35 + Ill need new gaskets which are a few bucks each. All up I could be spending close to an extra $50 on spares/replacements.

Thanks again guys, all feedback is much appreciated smile
