New Owner
So a friend of mine bought an 800 new in 75. It was a 74 left over that they made him a great deal on so he bought it. Well, he has some health concerns and now pays for his lawn service so he passed her on to me. When I got her he said she only ran about ten minutes and would quit and the starter needed shimmed. So I went and picked her up and off we went to her new home. I still have the parts for the origional starter but when I took it to the rebuild shop they said it couldn't be repaired because something was broken inside. Anyhow, I ordered up a new starter with the bracket to replace the replacement he had that would not bolt up. Ten minute run time and she quit just like he said. I put in some Lucas gas treatment, bought a new plug, tightened down a loose plug cap and put some sea foam in the oil and second tank of gas. Happy to say she is running like a top again, doesn't quit at all and wow how quiet......I'll get some pics up soon.
