No, it does not have jugs. It's all one block. I typed jug, and immediately edited it to say block, but it was read fairly quickly. 
Ahhhh…I’m with you now…I’m a bit slow—more everyday! LOLNo, it does not have jugs. It's all one block. I typed jug, and immediately edited it to say block, but it was read fairly quickly.

I guess this means put it back together and see how it goes?
I’m gonna give it a shot
UPDATE: March 27, 2024 FINALLY!
Back together today and nervously gave it a crank. New tank of gas, some Choke, cranked about 5 seconds and Voila! Fired right up. It seems to be “jumping” a little at this low speed. Ran it about a minute and shut it down. During that run period I thought I heard a slight “bang” but nothing changed. I’ll attach a short video of it running. Now going to add more fuel and see if it will do a little work.

Well…no joy. I started it again a little bit later after adding more fresh gas. It started so quick—almost the moment I turned the key! But I shut it off quickly, because I meant to check the oil. (I had just changed the oil with the good stuff before I tore it down. But wanted to check anyway.) After I cut the key and it was dying down, I hear a low pitched kind of whine that matched the motor rpms…
Looking at the dipstick, it was almost impossible to see, and looked very thin. I’m not sure if I smelled gas in it or not, but I’m going to drain and change anyway before proceeding…

I've always put videos in my youtube account and then posted the link here. Good luck with the oil change.
