So some of you know I came into a Snapper RER at a decent price.
Yesterday I got all the years of crud/grime/caked on grass off of it. Turned the engine and its not frozen. Confirmed dead battery. Also removed air cleaner and noticed that all of the linkage was very stiff. After I carefully got them moving I called it a night. So I went to wally world and they had a battery for it in stock.
Came home today and installed the new battery. I hit the electric start once and it turned over a few times. So...I made sure the gas was flowing to the carb and tried to get it running. I could not. I did pour a small amount of gas straight in to the carb, and on the first stroke it fired right up and ran until out of gas.
So I have a lack of gas at the carb issue.
Do they make rebuild kits? Is a good soak in some gas all it may need?
Goal is to get it running and cutting, then I can make it pretty. :wink:
Also, any clear way to determine year of manufacture?
