    Great save. My lawn boy also had numerous safety's. Consider adding some brass brushes and emery cloth so your repertoire of tools. Cleaning the shaft on the starter drive and some 3in1 should keep it starting smooth for a long time.

    Quick note, always check the blade, sometimes people leave them loose or off completely, if it doesn't have a blade it wont run, the blade has a flywheel effect on the engine, plus if its loose it's a safety issue. I've seen mowers not run because the blade was so worn down.

    I've had a few free mowers where the previous owner overfilled it with oil, it's not hard to check oil in a mower yet people still overfill them and then their mower smokes real bad and they think there is something serious wrong with the mower so they throw it out and get a new one and the process eventually repeats lol.
