Thanks Norm.
Still got some weird issues with the starting. I cannot get the starter to spin if I try starting it when sitting on the seat. So I get off, hold the foot switch with my hand and it generally will start. That's happened a number of times.
Then, after about an hour of very satisfying mowing, I switched off to clear some palm fronds. tried to start and wouldn't. dead as a dodo. Fiddled with the cutter switch and finally got it to start.. I'm wondering if the cutter switch is a bit dodgy - but that would not explain the on seat/off seat issue. Also wonder if the plunger on the cutter switch is depressed sufficiently by the cutter lever.
Main thing was I got to mow with it for the first time. I really like the rugged clever simple design.
After pushing my Super 24 around for years (on a sloping block) my first ride on experience was wonderful.
