i need help. my friend gave me her old lawn mower, a yard machine 4.5 hp 2" cut walk behind mower. when I got it home, I took spark plug out to check it and dirty looking oil poured out. then when I took the muffler off oil came out there. it looks like they over filled the oil a lot.
my next...
older hydrastatic drive mower.
ran ok last yr. started it today and the brake was on. had to hit it to make it release. it will not go forward or reverse. it did this fine when i parked it. any ideas. i have pictures in my profile.
gas leaking from the screw in bowl below the carburetor.
the screw looks like a bolt. it has no adjusting spring, there is a small white tube inside the bolt, that has a hole in one end and one side. tried adding washer that did not work. it did not leak last yr. can anyone help me??
i have additional info about the mower.
it is twin cyl industrial/commercial
with briggs & stratton engine
model: 42A707
type: 1238 01
code: 9505235A
i need to find a manual for this and some advise.
when i engage the blades the mower dogs down and dies.... also the battery doesn't charge while running. not sure if it has an alternator or magneto. i have not been able to get a manual
