Answer
Hello Bryan:

Send me the Model Numbers Off the Mower, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. Send me the Model and Type or Spec Numbers Off the Engine, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. The Model Numbers May be Stamped Into the Blower Housing (metal engine cover) Above the Spark Plug. Is the Oil Level Correct? Is the Crankcase Oil Contaminated with Gas? Thanks.
