cheesedawg82, Getting too old and gearing down. My boneyard is bare, other than a Model 70 that is stripped down and ready to paint. Just need time to get to it.

Coop, I did the football and hockey while then teams were kicking a$$. I have visions of a Pirate Cub, (translation) "long term vision".

By mid-80s I was deeply into the whole Windham Hill / new age genre - especially the guitar guys like Will Ackerman, Michael Hedges, and pianist George Winston, etc. - the fingerstyle guitar and the altered tunings had a huge influence on the style of my own playing, compositions and recordings. I still think the 70s was a truly amazing time musically especially from the progressive rock standpoint - loved bands like Yes (especially), Emerson Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, and so forth. CSNY too....lots of amazing talent in all of those bands. Can't forget others like the Beach Boys (Brian Wilson is a definite pop music genius) and The Who (Townshend another genius)

Three4rd, that's what is cool about this place. You just exposed yourself to having great knowledge about rock history. I have loved all the music, just could care less who performs and when. Thus the fact that some of us remember the proper beat of a Kohler and some of us (not me) know the tempo of Hotel CaLifornia, (baddest ass song ever)

Go forward and back with the lever, then hit the pedal again. should stop the wheels. If not, adjust the bracket until it does. Slop in the linkage will often result in a situation where it will go in neutral from forward by hitting the pedal, but if you are going in reverse and hit the pedal, it doesn't quite make it into true neutral. Sometimes that's the best you can achieve.
Throttle "hunting" or going up and down in RPMs is usually a carb adjustment. Follow instructions in the manual, I think 2 turns open on the main jet and 2-1/2 turns on the idle jet to start. Put some load on the engine (engage the mower) and make small adjustments as described in the manual.
