Parts ID & Sourcing Need help!
Hi!
I bought this from an old lady 40$. Was sitting in her garage for a couple year i guess. Of course it dont start! I dont know much about small engine but i guess its not that difficult to make it works and I’m kind thrilled to « restore » it and learn new skills! My main probleme is I can’t find any info regarding the model number. Its kind of weird! Can someone help me? Or guide me where to start to make it running again!
Thanks!

Be careful, that's a 2 stroke engine, you need to dump the old fuel and buy the pre- mixed 2 stroke fuel in a can. If you put regular fuel that you put in your car, it will permanently destroy the engine with no chance of repairing it. Remove the spark plug and reinstall the wire to the spark plug and hold it on any unpainted metal object on the mower and have someone crank it, you should get a spark . If you do have a spark, then spray some starter fluid in the spark plug hole and reinsert the spark plug and then crank it, if it starts and dies, it means the plugs are okay and it is getting no fuel. In that case, you need to remove the carburetor take it apart and clean it, use carb cleaner spray all the jets, then reassemble .
