Mowed the lawn with it- Lawn Boy Gold Series 10515 self propelled walk behind. I have four 2 stroke walk behind mowers now down from 9. Even have a Toro 22043 Commercial Landscaper model powered by a 2 stroke Suzuki!  :dawg: All original/ factory.  :olaf:

Cranked up the RZ because it hasn't been started since the Gap. Fired on the 2nd kick. I let it run for five minutes and shut it down as I had to put a new fuel tank in my 84 Ford F250 diesel feed truck.

Those commercial Suzuki engines are sweet! My college roommate still has the commercial Jacobsen two-stroke walk-behind we used when we were in school.

Wade- the engine on that old Jacobsen is basically the same as the Snapper Wisconsin Robin I have. This one is a non runner at present as I need to work out carb rods/ linkages and clean the Mikuni carb. The Suzuki also has a Mikuni standard with Walbro on both LB's I own.

Re-installed the chainguards on the TDR and LC.

TDR 'guard has been in a box since I took it off the bike 23 years ago.  LC 'guard came off when I got the bike 3 or so years ago.

Despite triple digit temps 106*f (42*C), I'll be taking both bikes to a club event at the local dragstrip this friday evening.

Finished up adjusting the steering stem bearings on the RD to rid myself of a clunk in the front end. Got over 1/2 a turn on the slotted spanner nut after I loosened everything up. All good now.

Gave it some fresh 50:1, filled the bar oil tank and greased the roller tip. Small tree fell over in the driveway and my lovely wife had me trim a big 'ol cedar away from the roof at Grandmas house. First contribution to the wood stove in the barn; Winter is Coming, and it's too cold out there without a fire.



My old $25 yard sale Poulan; recoil rope was broken, but it came with a new rope. Ran so well when I got it home I couldn't bring myself to adjust the carburetor. Bought it a new roller-tip bar and rim sprocket and a few chains (amazing how many new saw chains I find at yard sales) and it drinks from the KTM gas can.



I've had it for 10+ years now and it's never let me down. My father-in-law gave me his Stihl 029 Super when he quit cutting wood, and it's a nice saw: lighter, better chain speed, blah, blah. But I like my heavy old bile-green Poulan. And yes, of course it's a 2-stroke  :love:

Spent the last 2 days working to recommission the 125 after it had been sitting for a while. Adjusted timing, carbs ultrasonic cleaned and synced, flushed & rinsed the fuel tank, new petcock, new gas cap, new fuel lines & filters, new battery, fresh gas. Took it for a test ride around the neighborhood. Still have to do some additional sorting & change trans oil...and it needs a detail.

resealed and reinstalled the oil pump on the 67 C2TR. made a new clutch cover gasket and reconnected the oil injection system. also da sanded the clutch steels as it has always had an issue with a slipping clutch (even with new fibers).  Seems to be working just fine but need to get the premix out of the tank as i looked like my garage was on fire last night when i p[rimed and tested it. (actually had cars stopping as they were passing by...lol)  :dawg: :devil:.
