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.

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

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. smile

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.

Thanks again Bruce.

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