First we had to install a new "o" ring onto the carburetor, and put the carburetor back together.

Funny enough: when we ordered a new spring for the choke lever, we found out it was a bit too long for my particular type of mower, and we funny enough went to a garden machinery shop around the Kingsbridge area to try and find the right spring but even them didn't know what spring we needed for the choke on my mower.
