Craftsman 6 5 HP Mower. Can We Make It Good Again?

This is a trash picked mower. Let's see what it will take to make it useful again.

Fantastic video! I'm going to attempt to bring my Craftsman 917.388550 back to life and your video will help. Thanks for sharing.

Raymore, great video! What the heck was in that carburetor?? Also, what size carburetor did you buy from Amazon? I have a very similar Craftsman, "6.5 MRS", from Craftsman Canada, and its B&S engine has ZIPPO id tag on it so no engine manual or spec. Need a new carb but don't know which!!

I was wondering what that spray was you used on the new carb, then you explained it!! That will make a good back up mower or primary for a small lawn. What in the heck was that in the old carb??? I've watched tons of videos and have never seen anything remotely as bad as that!!!

Sometimes they surprise me with what's inside. Thanks for watching.

What rpm should these run at

I suppose that you checked it for oil?

Yes I did. Not everything makes it on camera but thanks for keeping me on my toes.
