Quick update: no air cleaners to be salvaged at any of the local small engine shops. Plenty of boneyard air cleaner assemblies, but nothing matching what we need. So - we ordered it all from Jack's. Should be here in a few days. In the meantime, we've been changing the oil, swapping the...

Haha! Simplest thing since the twig! Haha. That's awesome. Well, since we have the new carb anyway, we bolted it on just to see if she would fire. Wild and raw; no air cleaner and old crappy oil. Yeah - that's how we roll. Living dangerously! Haha. Believe it or not, she fired up almost...

Uh oh. You think we made a mistake trying to resurrect this Tecumseh? Dagger. I was on the fence about just tossing in the loot for a brand new Predator 212.....but decided against it at the last minute, hoping to show these boys that old things CAN be brought back to life! Haha! Now I'll...
