I think its all good, It ran and mowed. Just smoked on start up. Now it won't. It will fire once and flood. Gas is good. Can see spark with plug grounded. Pulled carb off and looked at and opened up bowl and check needle vale ect. One thing that does have me puzzeled and this will give you all an idea as I don't know why is: the carb side of the motor is covered in oil. The area where the inspection/breather is where I think it all came from. It looks like its been leaking for some time. It don't look like new oil but its everywhere. Also the air filter was full of gas, I assumed it was from me trying to start it several times and blowing fuel into the air cleaner from chocking it so much. It seemed to fire when it was choked. I am pretty handy with mechanical stuff and it just acts like it won't do the 4 steps of a four cycle engine.
