Hi Everybody,
Not quite sure what I have here, but I'd like to clean it up.
Deck tag reads: OMC Canada, Model 7263, SN: 131859
Motor turns over easily, but the tank is in rough shape with corrosion and black sludge. Any thoughts or suggestions on getting it running appreciated.
Thanks, Peter

Thanks Brad,
Any idea as when that mower might have been produced?
There is a fair bit of corrosion inside the tank. Is there a good way to clean that out? Would a replacement tank be available?
I had the recoil starter apart for service, and have noticed that one of the little pieces that engage the recoil are missing. It still functions, but replacing the missing piece would be good. Where is a good place to find such parts.
Thanks, Peter

Thanks Brad, that's what I will do.
What would be the appropriate fuel mixture to use?
Thanks, Peter
