Changed the spark plug, carburetor, Head gasket,Air filter, but when I replaced the magneto I got real results. So if you have a small engine that dies just as it warms up the magneto may be the problem. Cut my grass finally.

Other Parts Used:

Armature-magneto

Gasket-cylinder Head

Prop up mower with wood blocks just enough to unbolt and remove rear wheels. Flip up spring-loaded rear baffle and prop up with yardstick positioned between baffle and mower push bars. Now you have access to unbolt and replace skirt.

Removed cover then it required removing the broken recoil assembly to replace it with new one. New recoil assembly fit perfectly.

I took off the old blade adapter and put the new one on. It literally requires removing one bolt. Unfortunately, once I started and ran my mower for a few minutes it blew up and left a charred patch of lawn. The underside of the mower is mangled metal and unusable now. The repair, though, was super easy!
