Hi everyone, I'm having trouble removing the wheels for my push lawn mower since I will not need them for a project I'm using the mower for. Here are some pictures of what's holding the wheels on my lawn mower frame: [B]Front picture[/B] [URL]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/rs14smith/IMG_0250.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/rs14smith/IMG_0249.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/rs14smith/IMG_0248.jpg[/URL] [B]Back picture[/B] [URL]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/rs14smith/IMG_0251.jpg[/URL] It looks like they had to use a hammer or something to slide that washier looking thing over the rod, but I'm just not sure how you are suppose to take it off. Older lawn mower usually just have a nut you can unscrew. :(

So at first my snow blower could run for about 45 min and then die. If it let it sit for a while it would start. Then the amount of time it would run got to be less and less. So I have disconnected the safety key and tried starting it with the gas cap off. So then I took the carburator off and took it apart and cleaned it and it still didn't start. I poured some gas in the carb and it fired and ran for a few seconds. so i took the gas tank off and checked the flow witch seemed fine and the hose was clear. Now i notice that with the fuel line disconnected from the carb if i push the primer gas shoots out of the gas line port on the carb. shouldn't it spray into the engine? I don't know what to do next other than maybe the float or needle are bad some how. both seemed to be clean and in almost new condition.
