[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][B][I][/I][/B][/FONT] my riding lawn mower started fine after replacing starter. but i cut it off and it would try to turn over,but wouldn't start. the starter started smoking, as it did before i replaced it. i got a new battery to eliminate that problem. adjusted the valves.it just won't spin. it did this before i replaced the starter and it is now doing it again. 2 nyears ago i replaced the flywheel. some magnets(?) were missing off it. could this be the problem again? why does this problem continue?:confused:

Long story short... My Husky 55 rancher ran great for 5 years until I burnt the top end on my chainsaw one lovely evening. I put on a new ring piston and jug, but it wouldn't run right. Have since put on a new... Fuel line Fuel filter Air filter Completly rebuilt the carb twice Spark plug Checked the gas vent Carb mounting plate and gasket (stripped the old one) Cleaned the Muffler Now it only runs with the choke on. And runs pretty decent, at that. The only things left that I can think of are either I should just buy a whole new carb all together. or some people were saying if I burnt the top end, I probably burnt the bottom end seals. Would this cause such behavior? Do either of these sound like they could be the problem? I've been pulling my hair out over this. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you.
