Worked on it today.
No evidence of water in the fuel. Took out filter. It only has about 200 miles on it and looks fine.
Couldn't get it primed using the hand pump, so I took the filter back off & completely filled the canister with fuel. Messy.
Still took a long time to start, and still a...
I confess. I was wrong.
My muffler wasn't too rotted out to repair. It was just too bad to be repaired by ME!
Took it to a muffler shop in South Bend. Showed him what TedG had done with his.
Twenty bucks for pipe & gasket material, twenty five for labor, a few hours work and it's on the road...
Thanks for the tips guys. I'll check it out in the AM.
I remember now that when I had it out a month ago, I didn't drain anything when I got home. We were having a major storm, & I just parked it.
It was left sitting until I could get a muffler.
Got the muffler on last night. Then found one...

Someone said the PTO shaft attached on the passenger side on the M135/211. Opposite from the M35.
I never checked to see whether this was correct.
Well, I finally got a chance to work on my muffler.
It's obviously been repaired before judging by the built-up sloppy welds. And when the flange broke off it took a lot of the muffler shell with it, leaving a large ragged hole. It is just to rotted out to repair.
Time to go muffler shopping.
