O-Ring

1. Removed oil fill cap.
2. Disconnected gas tank from pull cord housing (3 bolts).
3. Disconnected oil fill tube from pull cord housing (1 screw).
4. Installed gasket on bottom of oil fill tube (old gasket was missing).
5. Replaced o-ring on oil fill cap.
6. Re-attached oil fill tube to pull cord housing.
7. Re-attached gas tank to pull cord housing.
8. Replaced oil fill cap.
9. Tested mower and found it still leaking.
10. Inspected engine and found that the pull cord housing was not firmly attached to engine.
When I was pulling the starter cord, the oil fill tube was being pulled up and out of the
engine, causing the oil leak.
11. Tightened all bolts which attached the pull cord housing to the engine.
12. Re-tested. Problem fixed.

Great...

Blade adaptor key was worn,,,Replace with new blade Adapter. Spacer was ordered separately .,Also replaced drive belt.


Parts fit perfectly.

1. There was a piece broken off inside with just a small piece I was able to get with the pliers to untwist piece out.
2. Then I put o ring in.
3. Then screwed in the tube and it was complete.
So easy my wife did it!

Replaced starter recoil
Replaced spark plug
Replaced air filter
Cleaned carb
Changed oil
Replaced oil fill tube and dipstick and used new gaskets

It was not a difficult job. Any DIY person could figure it out fairly easily. All the parts are easy to get to and not too complicated to remove or replace.

Remove the screw from the broken oil tube and remove it.
Install the gasket and o-ring on the new tube and screw it in.
