Start checking over everything, and as I'm taking it apart, I see the breather hose is covered with tape (I bought the mower used maybe 2 years ago). Start unwinding the tape, and I see that the hose is basically completely decayed - cracked, broken, etc. What kind of moron tapes a $9 part instead of replacing it?? New one otw, but just surprised me.
