The bolts in the tank have rust through, so I would like to replace the bolts if I can. I can't tell if the bolts were actually part of the tank.

Also, if they can be replaced is there a sealant I should use to prevent leaks through the bolts?

We are trying to sell our home. Septic has been fine, but will not pass. I was told a Terralift would solve my problem, but the realtor says it's just a bandaid to the system. I don't want to spend 15K on a new system!

I dumped the 2-cycle oil gas mix from the gas tank of the push mower. Changed spark plug. Cleaned air filter. Still will not run. What now? For some reason, if pump the safety release handle, it will run for about 3 minutes, if I keep pumping the handle. Then it dies. Did the 2-cycle oil gas mix clog up the carburator? Or is pumping the safety release handle indicating some other problem?

I moved into a home where the previous owner left quite a few things for me because he did not need there where he was moving. One of those things is a push mower. It's a Honda GCV160, has overhead cam so seems to be a decent mower. It looks in pretty decent condition except for the blade underneath is quite rusted. I put gas in it, oil in it and sprayed WD40 in all the turning parts just to see if we can get it going cuz looks like he hasn't used in in awhile(spiderweb galore). When I try to start it, it turns and sounds pretty clean but doesnt fire up. Could it be the sparkplug (it looks darn clean though)? Or is it something else? Side note question- He left two leaf blowers also (also in shed covered in spiderwebs and both are HomeLite brands) that have almost the exact same problem (except i used the oil/gas mixture as directed), sounds good turning but just can't get it to start. Help?
