I didn't replace the push rod. A new rod was installed when I rebuilt the engine last year.
I may have spoken too soon. I mowed for 30 minutes yesterday and had 2 backfires. I also noticed several hesitations. I could feel engine hesitate then come right back. When I turned the engine off, the engine made 3 revolutions before stopping. I'll be double checking the timing and replacing the coil and condensor. I'll also check the valve adjustments. Carb seems to be fine. I checked adjustments after I set the timing.
