Just picked this mower up off the side of the road. Got it all cleaned up and while tuning the carb I managed to let it run too lean for too long. Now the mower has very little compression and I am looking to rebuild it if I can find proper parts. And yes I was running mixed gas.
Are there parts available for this motor D-601?
I have checked online and have confused myself more than anything. From what I have read the original piston had 3 rings and by the looks of it the new replacement that you can find online is a 2 ring piston. Saying that I also read that to convert to the new piston you also have to change the rod as the pin is a different size.
The other problem I am having is that most suppliers only ship to the states and I am in Canada.
Anyways a friend of mine is tearing into the motor to see how bad the damage is. I know the crank seal is bad and will have to replace that for sure.
If anyone can shed some light on this for me that would be much appreciated.
