Thanks.  It was longer than I had intended.  I ran it through a
spelling checker and forgot to proof read it, leaving some grammar
errors.  Sorry.

That information about Troy Built" engines having a low engine oil
ignition block is interesting. Something that those of us who don't
read user manuals would probably never have discovered.

Do we even still have user manuals?  Usually, the box contains "read
me" page, some kind of warranty disclaimer, and pages of safety
warnings to keep the lawyers under control.  If there are any
instructions, they're usually brief and followed by a link to the
company web page.

This might be of some interest for Troy-Bilt owners:

Troy-Bilt is a brand owned by Stanley Black and Decker and/or MTD
Holdings.  Troy-Bilt use engines by PowerMore, Honda, Kohler, Briggs &
Stratton, Tecumseh, or Kawasaki.

Kudos to you.

Thanks again.

Regarding owner or user manuals:

I've often been refered to an online manual, usually in the form of a
PDF, which I download. They're actually handier than the old paper
stuff.
