I've taken the carby off and given it a good clean out (it had some gunk and crap in the bowl) and put it back on and was running better.
Now however, it just seems to be getting to much fuel I think? The plug is quite wet when I take it out. If I dry it, clean it, turn the engine over without the plug in, and then when I put the plug in it'll fire. I had to do this a few times to get it to run today. I also had to take the pipe off the air cleaner to let as much air in as possible to get it to go, once it was running for a minute, I put the pipe back on the air cleaner holder and it ran fine.
I'm just wondering, the 2 little screws on the carby, are they idle speed and mixture??? They just seem to be guides for the slide on the inside of the carby but I'm now wondering are they actually adjustment screws?
I did just manage to do the lawn with the old girl after a torrid time to get it started, and now that I'm finished she won't re-start again.
