    Front wheel bearings

    Its possible to have a warped drum, high spot, low spot, etc but change the races first as that is where the drum is spun from durring cutting. With the bearings I use the theory better safe than sorry so I would toss the bearings and get new... Don't be lazy... Always replace both the cup and...

    Pull off the back cover and check for trash around the reeds then try retuning it...

    Any Pointers for Finding a GOOD Engine?

    Just on principle.. I would go after Scott... The ideal of selling a engine with metal in the pan would infuriate me.
