It probably has a restriction on fuel delivery in the carburetor. If its a Tecumseh engine, stand the mower up on its wheels so the carb is on the high side. Remove the brass bolt that holds the fuel bowl on. Clean this bolt which is also a metering device, particularly the tiny hole on a slant near the end of the threads. Strip the paper off a wire tie and use the soft steel wire to rod it out. Replace the metering bolt and be careful with the torque. Sometimes it will leak when the fuel reenters the bowl - tighten 1/8 turn at a time until it stops. If this doesn't fix it, get back to us.

Weird, Maybe a bad head gasket?????? You will get some help, particularly since you listed all the models and codes :) Best of luck!

Funny, this topic just came up on the TripAdvisor "Hawaii" forum. Many people are trying to dump their timeshares. One poster said her friend not only couldn't sell hers, she had to pay someone to take her shares -- to assume her obligation to pay the rising maintenance/management fees. I don't know about other areas, but Hawaii hates timeshares and taxes them higher than any other real estate. We own a vacation rental condo on Maui. When the RE bubble burst I was worried that some owners in our complex would default (especially those who'd counted on flipping). I was concerned that the association would be in the red from unpaid fees. As it's turned out, less than 2% of the units were foreclosed. They've now all been sold, and the new owners are paying association fees. It makes me wonder what happens to timeshare properties when a big percentage of owners default and are not paying their fees. Owning property has advantages over owning 'time'. Our travel to and from our condo is a tax deduction. (IRS says you can visit to do maintenance.) The RE tax is a deduction. We can schedule our visits any time we please, even in high season. We're not bound to a certain number of days or to trying to make 'trades' for times. We can leave clothing, etc. in the condo in owner's storage. We have a say in the way the complex is maintained (and in all expenditures). We know exactly where we're staying; not getting a 'category', a generic 1 BR 2 bath Ocean View. We have equity. I never thought timeshares were a good idea; the increasing default level adds to my negative opinion. I'd rather be free to rent when and where I wish. (We might not *own* our vacation rental condo if we hadn't sold another rental property and wanted to avoid huge capital gains!) Pompano Beach is a pretty area -- or at least it was some years back when I used to visit my aunt's home along the waterway.

Door bells are low voltage (~16v DC) so you probably don't have to worry about a fire. If you want to look for the transformer it should look something like this: Could be anywhere but most likely in the basement or in the garage. You can just disconnect the two wires from the screw terminals and the line to the door bell will be dead. If you don't feel like running new wires, get one of those wireless chimes.
