After replacing a broken spark plug and changing the air filter I found the pictured piece of plastic on the ground. Any idea of what it is and where it goes?
Well, I'm feeling rather stupid at the moment. The piece in question has nothing to do with the lawnmower. We recently bought a couple of carving knives (Thanksgiving coming and all). The piece just happened to fall out of a garbage bag within 2 feet of where I was working on the lawn mower in my garage. It is a tip guard used when the knife is being shipped. Thank you VERY much for you help with this mystery item.
