Hi wce, it is an older Rover cylinder mower that had sat for years, so it wasn't doing anything, including starting before I serviced it. Everything is installed correctly, choke is fully open and stays that way, seperate lever. Runs good, just puffs some black smoke and soots up the plug. Will put an edge over the diaphragm body mating surface when I get the new diaphragm and failing that might swap it out with a new replacement carb just to see if it solves the problem.
