Looks like the legal weed up there in Oregon is starting to work. "Here's a picture of the speedometer- buy it! It's a damn shame what they did to that "race" car.

The Bob Villa connection is funny - on the job, calling somebody Bob Villa is NOT a complement. That poor guy wouldn't know which end of the hammer to use if you handed it to him!

Why would a mower with less than two hours on it need a new carb?

Simple answer.
The ethenol gas deteriorates the rubber diaphrams in those Briggs carburetors. They won't run worth chit after that. But actually, all you have to do is replace the diaphram.

The problem with Craftsman was not their motors but that the pan design was worthless - if the grass is even slightly damp it is clump city

Dittos. The one I owned would clump grass unless it was absolutely dry. Its blade design left a lot to be desired as well. I had to replace the blades any time I hit a twig.
