Well Loger fix the fuel tank leak , put in a new plug and air filter with some concentrated fuel cleaner and run it like you stole it Bro !

Pics that w/n attach yesterday. Are their limits that I am unaware of? That caused me not to be able to attach the
two attachments (sized attachments, less than 120 KB ea). My adding attachments has been a hit and miss since moving from XP
to Win7. I like to show what I’m seeing
to possibly show more than I’m telling.

I,am at a total loss on that Bro !

From a conversation, I remembered I have a 6.5 HP Briggs
Quantum Edge gas tank + parts. That
should fit from a neighbor’s salvaged Block”. I saw it during my walk on the curb and
alerted him, thinking he forgot it but it was to go (this time) ....LOL! It was basically the same as my 5.5HP. All of the excess metal goes to a friend that
salvage metal vs back on the curb.

I was called out (about 6 blocks) to get some ‘Healthy Size
Red Oak Limbs today vs Trunk cut up for me.
I asked why not those nice trunk sections 12”+ diameter and approx
16“long. He said they are diseased and I
do not recall the disease. He went to
that pile and found some “Black looking bark that was on the trunk that
represented the disease. Can a trunk be
diseased w/o the limbs being infected? I
usually quarantine any unhealthy looking wood from home or prime stock at least
a year.

Maybe I have exceeded limits related to Pics w/o knowing
and need to contact G/W vs the frustration. What are the limits?

Which Limits , Burning of Diseased Wood or Pic ,s ? lmao !

P.S. Go with the 6.5 Quantum the 5.5 may have iffy Compression also !

The 5..5 has good life left in it. The 6.5 had a scored cylinder and bent crank. I’ll only switch the gas tank now but used a
large rear wheel last year (from the parts I saved). I have the
coil and other wheels in the pit. If
needed, I’ll finish the race with the Murray or Briggs (All Donated As Parts). These are my 3rd and 4th
mowers in my Pit since 1973. 1 & 2 took
me the 1st 20 years and never stopped vs looking like Hell with all
the mixed parts. #2 was a dream Tech. running off the governor. No 1 started on the 1st pull after
storing 10 years and had been converted to electronic ignition. Points were the "PITS" on my 1968 VW and ALL !!!

Loger , I,ll put my Money on the VW with a 60 inch deck winning the mower race points or no points lol .

Bingo! I Cut Our “Complete Yard In 30 Minutes On A Half
Tank Of Fuel”! After replacing the Leaking
Fuel Tank and Air Filter that made a difference. The leak was not as critical, since it almost
had to be overfilled for the Stress Crack at the Seam to Leak. IMO, the Contaminated Filter from fuel vapor
was more restricted.

Looking at
the small stress crack I feel it can be repaired if that plastic bonds life
some I have seen . Next, with the tank
being as generic as it is, I feel plenty used ones are around. I’ll use a good used part as fast as a new
one and it might last longer. LOL!

If Carboncrank was still active we could send him a Cudo's for his recommended Snake Bite Cure all "New Air Filter" advice . I'am glad you have your freebee cutting well and at a normal fuel consumption rate Loger . I had almost 10 yrs on my 5-5 Quantum before I gave it to my Son , Engine was still sound but the deck had seen better times . lol.

My goal is to show what I saw and moved past as I try to
catch up or recycle projects I have saved too long. Technology has left me over stocked related
to Automotive, Metal, Computers, General Mechanics and General Home Maintenance. I have cleared 75 % but another 10 – 15% w/n
hurt. If it means nothing to me now just
think it will be trash for my kids to move.

I’ll get back to the Recycling as I burn time moving from XP
to Win7. I will continue to run XP on a
2nd machine to share and work “Old 2000 Auto Cad and Photoshop Files”.

Loger , You should be whipped ! Tomplum will give you a dozen lashs !!!

If a good
whipping will help, I’ll take it just too almost be myself again!!!!
