Hello, new guy here, I'm not sure as to what year snapper I have and that is probably blasphemy here as I have seen some of the awesome restores you guys have done.
I have been searching around on the forum but I have yet to find anything on engine internals. I just bought this mover last week and cut the yard with it one time. I'm recovering from a torn calf muscle so the ol push mower was not an option.
I tried to start her today and she was giving me problems. Then she seized up, so I removed the cylinder cover and found the beautiful scars you see in the photos.
I started removing other parts because this is the first time I have worked on a lawn mower. (I have done extensive work to pre OBD II cars.) But I thought I could get to the back side of the piston from the top. I now realize I was totally wrong.
But what ever it is scaring the cylinder wall is in behind the piston or caught in the piston rings.
How do I remove the piston? Do I have to remove the engine?
I there a online manual?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Tom
