Oh yeah. Once i undo everything the owner did i will figure out what is really wrong with it. He screwed up the valves and the carb linkage and all the muffler bolts are stripped out and one of the valve cover bolts wasn't metric.
And the hits just keep on coming.

And your questions is???

How much does he want to spend?

Just make sure that you tell him “You can repair everything but stupid, because the repair kit to fix stupid is not yet available and you have no idea where you can get one.”

check them sump bolts too.

Are you sure it was the owner and not one of your competitors great workmanship.

Believe or not I seen that same Blue RTV used on a head gasket several years ago here.

Pretty sure the owner did it all. Looks like the real issue is a bad fuel pump.

I sharpened 3 blades for a guy ( I probably have sharpened 1000's over the years ) last week, that he carried in. He took them home, about 2 days later he brought the Big Zero Turn mower in with those blades on it and said my "sharpened" blades don't cut grass worth a f***......I knelt down and looked under the deck, he had put the blades on upside down. I should have asked him how Crow tasted but, as a business....I just told what he did, and smiled!

Got a guy who tells me to make sure i put them back on 90 degrees apart. It is not a timed deck. I can't convince him it doesn't matter.

Ay yi yi...

Or this one. That new saw chain you sold me won't cut hot butter.

Or like the old man here that said the HF engine would fit tiller. I said the 3/4" pulley won't fit the 1" shaft. He just kept insisting that pulley will fit. I finally just gave up and returned the tiller with the old engine still on it.

I even thought about having the pulley machined but the machinist said would not enough if any material left for the reverse pulley to mount. The owner say TSC sells the pulleys but I doubt the owner knows what they sell. I could only find one pulley in the right diameter so the tiller would have lost reverse along with 1st and 2nd. The 80 yr old really needs the first two speeds.

Oh the crankshaft could be machined down but it is just as cheap to just buy the right engine. Beside it took nearly three hours to get the two king pins out in the first place with burning the tires on the wheels. They are rusted on after 40 yrs.
