OP slumlord Campfire Kahuna Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 66,930 TN	Another mower project Been sitting for about 8 years. New plugs, drained gas, took the carb off and sprayed it out with Gumout, new fuel filter. Had a prob with the mikuni pulse fuel pump. Took it off and beat on it a few times New filters, changed oil, newer batt from other mower Looks like hell, needs blades sharpened. Ok to take around the catfish pond and our campsite on the back of the property. And yes; Caribou Sherbet, we have 2 bush hog decks and use them for heavier applications For hideous consideration 2001 Craftsman 22hp

All fun until the dry rotted tires went flat. ETA: Mowers like anything else are hard to come by in certain parts. Wife had a friend in NY that stated he couldn't find a used mower for less than $3500. Sounds like money could be made. Last edited by devnull; 07/27/21.

Have a 3rd husqvarna I’m going to start working on. Do a carb swap. Fuel was going into the crank case for one thing. Lol 😐
