Still wrestling with the damn mower. It’s acting stally now. A friend changed the fuel filter for me. He was supposed to have loosened the oil filter for me but it’s not budging. Doesn’t matter ‘cause I can’t find a wrench or socket that fits the hose for draining the oil. I DID change the spark plug. Yay me. 🙄
wileykat: thanks. Next: blow out the tube that goes into the fuel tank (if I could find it 🙄) and potentially syphon the gas & strain it if it’s dirty.
