Sister in laws mower quit too. Looked at that today too. Old air filter was rotten and a piece of it got jammed up in the choke. Cleaned that out, made another air filter, check the plug, changed the oil. Start first pull and ran good. Plastic deck on this model. I’ll take it back tomorrow when I go to finish grass at sons. Sister in law lives in the other house beside sons place there and she does around and under her trees. Makes it a lot easier to cut the grass there when she does that.

Plastic deck ..... Where's that head banging against a brick wall icon????
It looks like a skunk crawled in that blower housing and died, Noel! Where the heck did the mice find all that hair that they packed in there?
Nasty little plug in that carb too! I never heard of a plastic mower deck before.
Glad you have some mowing equipment back in service now!

I Googled your mower last night Noel just being curious about a plastic deck. I’ve never seen one before. They are a common little sought after mower that like most things Honda makes are very reliable. The guy was in England and by reading the comments which I enjoy it sounds like a lot of them are out there. His also had a single handle and I believe he said it was around 25 years old.
Well we’ll, more troubles. My 1951 TEA20 Ferguson tractor has troubles this morning. Figured I’ll take it to a parade this Saturday. So checked oil, anti freeze. All good. Filled with gasoline. Did a little work with it, then took off the rear blade. Noticed droplets of some thing on the inside of the front left wheel. That’s just great. Antifreeze leak. Opened the bonnet to get a better look and found the battery slid over and positive cable had been touching the bonnet. Melted the cable end and bolt that tightened the wire on. Hard to say when that happened. Was not hot.
Jumpins any way. Every ting still seems to work electrical wise. Just lucky in a lot of ways on that one.
Thermostat housing gasket leaking I’d say.

Good thing that didn’t catch fire glad it was minor.
I said sheep, not hogs !I prefer my grass cut not rooted
You also mentioned goats that will eat grass to the ground. I know sheep won’t, no upper front teeth.I said sheep, not hogs !
So got a new positive battery cable end on the Ferguson and have made a bracket to hold it from moving, hopefully. Tractor at sons. I made the bracket at home. So will see if fits this afternoon.
On another note, could some one give me the part number for a indak ignition switch for a MF 16. An Oregon or stens number would be great, or something. Then maybe I can order one from some where local. Or git son to order on the on line thing. I’m having an awful time trying to find one or a part number.
MF 16 part # 527 414 M91
Switch has 4 positions.
1: off
2: run and accessories or lights.
3: run
4: start
Thanks for any help
