Tar babies is a term my dad taught me a long time ago. It's sort of a problem that you can't get rid of. Like it's got tar on it, and you can't get it out of your hands.
Well, this craftsman mower I took in, in lieu of another Husqvarna, with a blown engine. The Husq is very nice. 46" deck. All the belts, pulley and spindles are in good shape. Very good tires. No dents or dings. The craftsman, the customer wanted it running. Part of the deal was that I'd furnish the labor and 1/2 the parts cost.
Well, after replacing the flywheel, coil, solenoid, a little wiring, welding the exhaust pipe, fixing a valve cover leak and a few other odd & ends, it's finally ready to go home.
Well it was until a friggin hole blew out in the head. (CV15S) Right next to where the exhausts bolts on. For the record, I took the exhaust pipe off, before I welded it.
Anyone ever seen a hole blow out in a head before?
