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!

"If anything I find my tastes are influenced negatively here, not in a bad way really, just differently. I love funky bohemian combined with traditional and modern but don't feel that love from most posters so sometimes I second guess myself. There are some canvas prints at Pier One I am crazy about yet they are cheap. Will I hate them because they look cheap? ($30 each btw) Will they make my decor seem too wild? Cheap? As an artist, most other artists abhor this kind of thing and usually are quite snobbish about having only originals in their house. They would not buy a cheap print from Pier One! So, can I over come this pressure and the pressure here (subtle however) and actually get what I love? I do not like the vast majority of art people choose for their home so I would never ask anyone here "what do you think of this print?" I'm rambling but I guess it's all about keeping myself true to me." Bumblebeez, I feel your pain, really I do. :) Something that would truly *speak* to me, would be a gliclee of Monet's Sunrise. It was a work that was derided by critics in its time and I had the opportunity to see it in the Monet Museum in Paris. It would have much more meaning to me, and to my husband, than something I bought off of Etsy or Ebay. At least you, as an artist, have the pedigree be able to get away with buying what you want (not that you should have to make excuses). It's the same way about furniture. If it's not heirloom or CL, there will always be detractors. I just try to suck it up and decorate to the best of my abilities.

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.
