    Commercial grade walk behind, Bunton. Company was bought by BobCat as I under stand now.
    It has a 44 or 48 inch deck, 14hp manual start Kohler engine and the reason it is now mine.
    I have had to work on it before to get it to start the former owner is a run them dry guy with nothing in the fuel. In every case I have had to remove the float bowl and free up the valve and seat which had the float stuck.

    I finally got him to use stabuil in it, but of course if a little (per the bottle label.) is good more is better. Then you incounter a sand like substance that clogs up the filter and valve in seat.

    He only used it a couple times a year since 2006 to mow paths along side the rented out field and thru the woods where he can't get his compact Ford and brush hog.

    I checked the safety switch for the trans yesterday and it is working fine.
    Still don't know if I have spark at the plug yet, I really dislike my spark tester has to be nearly dark to see even a strong spark.

    Hum wonder how mad Kare would be if I had her hold the bare end of the spark plug wire?

    If you go that route, we need the pics or it didn't happen.
    :ithappened:

    :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    :heidi::heidi:

    I've done that both intentionally as well as unintentionally.

    I am impatient, and if the sun won't let me see the spark, I know a surefire way to check.
    :eek:

    Edit.. that may explain a great many things
