I am looking to pick up a 2 cycle lawnboy for mowing some steep hills since 2 cycle won't have any issues with lack of oil that a 4 cycle would...
Have been looking around and seen a few Duraforce models but also saw some issues that made me think that might not be the best choice. Don't have any experience with lawnboy mowers. Seems the Gold commercial engines are well thought of. Considering a 4.75 Hp silver commercial engine one I located that is not running available pretty cheap. Primer bulb is bad. That's all the description I have so far and haven't looked at it yet. Picture is attached. I am guessing this might be a 10314 but that's just a guess. Does this model have good reliability? I don't mind changing a few parts, cleaning the carb, etc as long as the parts aren't too steep. What should I be looking at? Obviously free turning and reasonable compression and some of the things obvious for any small engine but what are some of the common issues for Lawnboy I should be aware of? Thanks!
Was just thinking that the carb would be the next thing sensitive to steep angles - not likely to damage the engine since it would probably just quit but it might not work well. I take it most of these have carbs with floats rather than without floats like chainsaws and string trimmers? Any without floats? How steep can they be run?
