There's one that covers the older d400-600 series, f-series, and the then new compliance mowers. That's what I have, and what you need. Good luck!

Fireman, tonight I purchased on eBay the manual you recommended. It ought to get here is one week. Thanks for telling me about it.

You're welcome

If this is the same, only way to restart these lawnboy's is to put throttle in choke and she fires up fine. I guess it was design intent.
