This is a made up statistic but I feel like a new carb fixes 90% of small engine problems. I don't go out of my way looking for these curb finds, but do enjoy fixing/tinkering with my own shite.

I don't go out of my way to find them but I slow down and investigate when I see them.

Pretty much. Found a Toro Recycler that was in great shape with a wheel that didn't spin. There was a rock stuck in the self propel gear. Blows my mind how folks will throw stuff away without even trying. All I did to fix it was remove one bolt, pop the rock out, and put the bolt back.

hell most of the time you just need to clean the carb

last year my neighbor put his mower on the curb, so I grabbed it, checked it out, cleaned the carb, and it was running perfect again

I brought it back to him and he goes "Oh...hey man, I really just wanted a new electric mower, so I already told my wife that one is broke, so could you just like keep it?"

I now have a nice back up mower
