Lawnboy 2Cycle question.
I have a very old Lawnboy that has been a great mower. Lately it loses power after awhile, and I notice that gas is dripping from where the two haves of the crank case are bolted together. (Would it still be considered a crank case on a 2 stroke) I have a feeling that there is a seal between the halves that has failed and now I am losing compression. Does this sound correct? Can I still get seals for an ancient Lawnboy? I believe this one is from 1982.
I have searched the net and have found Carb gaskets for it. I have also found drive parts. Actually I bought a new drive shaft for it last year.
Is there a change that the two halves don't use a gasket but rather some kind of sealent?
I really do not want to give this one up. I love mowing the lawn with it. I have used the new Lawnboys, Toros, MTDS, and Hondas. I still like the old Lawnboy
