    I can't find the woodruff key hole for the key, there's a slot for a wrench but no slot. I'm going to try and put back together and check all the vitals, spark, compression, fuel... is this the fuel pump in the photo?

    Hi team, just an update, pulled bottom leg off and there's no housing or impeller, I am feeling this was a parts motor and wasn't advertised as that. Oh well I can now try for spark and compression etc as I have freed up the gear selector as it wasn't even in the sleeve.

    I can't check compression yet, it is in gear and are having trouble getting it out of gear, will keep on going, if you have any ideas I would appreciate it, yes I'm not a mechanic but have some idea on mechanics.

    Thank you jimmbo, this is only a $100 project as I have a little time on my hands. My wife and I are care givers for her elderly parents, dads 86 and mum is 81 with progressive dementia, have to choose my times when I can use my power and battery tools. I'm thinking I have my work cut out for me...
