After two trips to the guy's house, I made it home this morning with my new to me 2 stroke
This came from an estate sale on Craig's list. The deceased's brother is the Executor and had $155 on it. it is a 6.5 HP 2 stroke with a Dura Force engine, commercial self propelled with bagger. I will more than likely remove the bagger. My parts Lawnboy I dragged out of the farm dump has all the pieces to convert it back to side exit. It had old last years gas in it, ran like ass and smoked like a train. I dumped that out and put a fresh load of 32-1 with Klotz Supertechniplate in it and she fired on the 2nd pull. After about 10 minutes she purred like a kitten and I spent the next two hours in the 90 degree heat working on my overgrown ditch bank. No more ruined 4 stroke lawnmowers from the ditchbank steep incline
I have thrown a rod in 2 Briggs and Strattons this year alone... Gotta get ready to go to work...
These machines are fine mulchers and the hot ticket is a Gator blade by Oregon Manufacturing. I rarely bag with any of my mowers- one of the few "green" things I actually do.
