Fascinating forum, as I will rebuild a car if possible, but have more small engine headaches than days off! Main mower nowadays a Craftsman with 48" deck, and since new its hour meter (tiny lcd screen) has consistently displayed 4 or 5 times the actual hours... prob. less than 20 so far but displays something like 70 now. At least THIS one isn't a fuel problem- my number one bugaboo... back later, gotta stop playing with the computer before IT refuses to start tooo...
