i recent took this mower apart due to bad engine condition. it would idle up and down irraticaly. I clean the spark plug, drained the gas tank, cleaned the air filter, cleaned the carburator, and changed the oil.I would have ajusted the carburator , but it was a throttle-free design. it is set up like a normal briggs and straton motor. i accidentally overfilled the thing with oil. I mean three quarters of the way up the dip stick. So it was really full of oil. I didn"t realize it until i had cranked it. I drained the oil down to where it was supposed to be amd it is still running very badly. It will crank but it misses even worse and the blade moves very slowly. any suggestion or tips is greatly appreciated. thanks, Justin.
