I picked up an old HR214 that had been sitting for a couple of years for $10 so i could teach my Son how to work on small engines and flip mowers.
The motor was locked solid with very little oil in the case and i feared the worst but for once the engine Gods were smiling on us. :biggrin:
It took about 15 mins to drain the gas, remove the plug and get the motor free with a socket and breaker bar. Filled with fuel, some 10W-30 and five pulls and she was running. albeit like the Bizmark in a cloud of blue glory.
Once the smoke cleared i found the low gear was not working but the high gear dragged be round that yard in style.
i plan to put the trans/engine cover tomorrow to see whats happening but thought i'd ask if there is a simple/common trouble spot to look at first.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I also noticed its leaking oil from a seal at the bottom of the motor. Is that a simple/worthwhile gasket fix on a $10 mower?
thx all
