All I did was pop the head off. I didn't fuck with timing, and the carb isn't adjustable. Its a 6hp B&S engine, and toward the end of fall it was being a pain in the ass and only starting with copius amounts of starter fluid. If I stopped it, it would die for ~10 minutes (vapor lock?)

There was a lot of surface rust on various parts, but I cleaned it up and everything moves realtively smoothly.

Why is it that I can fix cars, yet am stumped by a backfiring lawnmower?
