Hi....just became a snapper owner...tired of pushing my mower around my large lot. Got this 1995 33" cut with 13 hp motor for the princely sum of $100.00. Yes it sounds too good to be true, but the mover runs and cuts pretty well.
It did not have a battery, so we have to use pull start for now..but getting a battery today. After I initially started it at home...I stalled it out because I am not use to the clutch. After that, it would not start unless I sprayed carb
cleaner into the carburetor...but would only run if I contined spraying...so I pulled the carb bowl and found lots of disgusting rusty stuff in there. Cleaned it out and blasted the carb and float with cleaner and now it starts and runs.
However, there is a fair amount of missing and some popping out out the carb....so I was thinking , probably a new carb would be great. I have dranied the tank and put in new gas and cleaned the plug. Anything else I should do?
This is a beast of a mower...lots of power, but steering it in uneven terrain is a challenge!
