    John Deere JS38 push mower

    You can handle this, adjusting the valves is a 30 min job for beginners. I wouldn't get carried away with Grumpyunk's suggestion just yet, just set your clearances to .007". Make sure your valve cover gasket is in good condition or better yet replace it so you don't end up with oil leaks.

    If you are reusing an original cylinder you absolutely hone before replacing rings otherwise they will not seat. Also, have you staggered the gap on the rings 120° apart? Did you check the end gap of the rings before installation? New ring end gap should be .008" to .014"

    Honda irrigation pump motor not running well

    I agree on always trying to use the original carb. That was the plan... But the main jet had already been damaged by someone else so it's not coming out in one piece as well as the drop damage from me. Idle jet o-rings missing also I was of the same thought as you with regards to opening up...

    Mulching with a Honda HRR216k10VKAA

    Right below your gas tank you should find a LIME GREEN lever called Clip Director. It's on the same side as where you add the oil. If you have that in the Mulch position and it's still leaving a trail, maybe your blades are dull or you're cutting deck needs cleaning.

    Let's talk about blade sharpening?

    Really good post. I think the 45° is a little steep. I personally sharpen mine to 30°ish. All the new blades I've ever bought have an initial grind of about 30° so that's what I've stuck with, they seem to stay sharp quite long.
