I was diagnosing the issues with you with the video. I thought it would've been a sheared flywheel key, or had a bad rod knock. I'm not familiar with Tecumseh engines, but glad you were able to get the problems fixed.

I certainly appreciate the hard work. Came out super nice at the end with the bag and plug. What a pain of a mower though. Never worked on that style tecumseh carb. Keep up the excellent videos and presentation Kyle 😎😎😎

Tecumsehs are horrible. I really hate working on them. Glad you to it!! I would sell that mower for $300 if it was here in Florida

That carburetor looks like a Tecumseh vector carburetor Tecumseh engine's are very picky about starting
