I am pretty familiar with mechanics, however my two cycle 10302 has drive(draggiing) problems. I contacted Lawnboy and they will respond in a few days. When I let go of the bail cable, the belt continues to run, just enough pressure to prevent diengagement with the drive, which in turn locks up...
I have a complete(disassembled two cycle engine for sale. Needs lower shaft bearing and both shaft seals.
V-engine 4.5 HP
Also have a good carbureter:
LMR-16 Walbro
Blade mulching adapter with tapered spacer adapter.
ROD!
