Hi Folks,
Being older Lawn Boy enthusiasts, we purchased a Lawn Boy 8237 off craigs list some time ago. The self propel was broken down at the back wheels so we decided to remove the self propel mechanism entirely. The problem now, we realized, is that the self propel rod that comes out of the engine (The rod that goes perpendicular to the crankshaft) is not held on by anything and of course popped out when we started the mower. We're assuming of course that this will either affect compression or cause an air leak or both, as the mower has always been hard to start when it's warm. (It starts in 3-5 pulls when cold). Is there some way anyone has done previously that we could permanently fasten this self propel rod into its hole so it won't pop out any more? Of course if this rod being out doesn't affect starting/compression/etc we're fine to leave it out.
Thanks and if I can provide more information let me know.
