I am new here so hello and thank you for your help. I mow a lady's yard and she had 2 old mowers parked and collecting rain, leaves, whatever else. I asked if they still ran and she said she wasn't sure and I could have both of them.
So I start taking apart this 10515 and quickly realize the throttle connection plastics piece where it connects the cable to the side of the engine is broken. I poured out the who knows how old gas/water mix and filled with new. I cleaned the air filter off and left off for the moment. I oiled the levers and cables and tried to fire it up.
Nothing happened. I then tried starter fluid and it came alive for a few seconds then died. Now is it safe to assume a carb cleaning is my next step? Is there anything I need to order for that for whenever I put it back together? Also, can you still order things like that throttle tab that is broken?
Thanks to anyone that can shed some advice to a new guy. After reading how great these mowers are, I would really like to get this thing running!
