Good show!! Those 10323's are good mowers and you will get a lot of good service from your $10 find. Putting a disc of oiled air filter foam under the primer button tol help keep the dirt out of the fuel bowl as it directly vents the float bowl. A good fuel filter on the fuel line will keep the incoming fuel clean also. Good luck!
10323 Dies
A guy contacted me about my "Lawn-Boy Mowers Wanted" posting on Craigslist - said he had a 10323 that would just die on him - sometimes after a few passes, sometimes got to actually finish cutting. Said he never knew whether it was going to run long enough to cut the whole yard so he went and bought a new mower. He sold me the 10323 for $10!
I got it cleaned up and snapped some pics, but didn't try cutting with it until today. Just like he described - I got about 3 passes around the perimeter of the backyard and the thing died. I primed several times and got it to start back up, but it wouldn't stay running.
This is my first time with a problem like this one - any ideas? Ignition coil? Spark plug? I know for certain that the carb needs some work - guy didn't have the air box cover on completely - filter was nasty. Additionally, this morning I discovered that the float is set incorrectly (there was a puddle of fuel on the floor under it the mower.)
Just looking for the best starting point on this dying 10323 problem. I appreciate your time and advice.
