i was given this lawnmower for free. it had sat for several years and the owner has passed. brought it home cleaned it, changed the head gasket and regasketed the carb, the flywheel key was partially sheared and i got a new one coming. tried to get a shop manual for this mower but haven't found one yet. they are all out of print. what i need to know is torque specs and for the flywheel and head gasket. i ordered part and was sent extra parts like two filters for the primer button and two sparkplugs and they are marked no return.

Then what we need is the Make, Model, and TYPE(SPEC) number of the engine in order to look up those specs.

Get the bolt info like size and thread pitch. Look it up that way. Maybe reduce torque if the threads have been used before.
