Hi all.

I wonder if any of you guys and girls can help me. I recently discovered an old lawnmower in a garage that apparantly still runs, just what i was looking for as a wanted to use the engine for a small go kart. It was filthy so i'm in the process of cleaning it up.

It's now all back together apart from 3 small tubes and a wire because i can't figure out where they go.

Here are some pics.

This is the wire.


The Tubes.


One of the connectors.


Another connector.


Another.


Another.


Some more pics just for good measure.

If i can get this engine going again i think i'll actually use it as a mower and find another engine for the kart.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks

reptilian1982,

Ok the first picture of the wire (it goes between the black cowl).

The third pic one tube fits on that area and the other end fits on pic six.

If you require more information then you will find it in the parts list and manuals area of the board.

Thanks for the quick reply, you were a great help. I have one other question. What fuel / 2 stroke oil ratio should i use for this engine?

I tried to access the forum section you mentioned but it requires a password.

Thanks again.

reptilian1982,

That area is available to members of the board that support it with donations from time to time.

Thanks again for the help.

I'll gladly donate as soon as i'm working as you have been a great help.

Cheers!

I'm not sure what oil it is, will both ratios work or should i try one before the other?

Also, do you have any idea what power the engine produces (in Hp)? All it says on the mower is Mark 4, 160cc 2 stroke.

Ta.

reptilian1982,

To be save use 25 to 1 ratio if you are not sure.

Thanks again Bruce.

The mower started 2nd pull. Not bad considering it has not been ran in about 10 years.
