Default Lawnmower Squeals

I've done a couple. Really not a dificult task.

Oh, forgot. While you have the motor cover off. The engine is air
cooled, so you'll be doing the motor a favor to clean off any dirt or
dust.

Tip the mower onto the side, and drain the old oil out. Should take
about 20 ounces of new oil. Oil change is cheap, and really helps the
motor last as long as possible. Use good quality oil. 10-w-30 is fine.

Yes, it is the starter overrunning clutch. I have had that happen a
couple times but haven't really tryed to oil one. For sure it is not
a rod bearing. That would knock, not squeal.
