That does NOT sound like a big issue.

I would hope not. He says he's replaced the carb, battery, head gasket, and entire ignition system without luck. Has a 50" deck. Asking $750.

Not a matter of luck....
It's called throwing parts at a machine and no doing a proper diagnosis.

Sounds like he shot the Parts Canon at it and struck out.

I know, can't be a whole lot left.

My 2155 did that when it got hot and turned out to be the fuel pump. I put on an electric pump from pegasus racing and it starts up on the first crank. 1-1.5 gal per minute and the best money ever spent.
