Hi All,


I was able to do a bit of testing.

Day 1

I purchased the Metering Lever from [Censored] and installed the metal needle and the Metering Lever into the Carby.

I pumped the Primer bulb 5 times. It started on the 3rd pull.

I checked the RPM on Startup with the Throttle on Run. The RPM fluctuated between 3020 - 3040 - 3060.

After 30 minutes of cutting the Lawn. The RPM fluctuated between 3120 - 3140 - 3160.


I Turned Off the Fuel Tap and the Lawnmower ran normally until 1-2 sec before it cut out where it revved a little bit higher, maybe 100 rpm higher.
So, I don't think there is an Air leak. But you guys might need to advise.


I Turned the Fuel Tap back On, Pumped the Primer Bulb 5 times, where it took about 10 pulls to start. The RPM fluctuated between 3120 - 3140 - 3160.


After a few minutes of running normally. I turned the Lawnmower Off normally by putting the Throttle to Off. I then tried to restart the Lawnmower.
The Throttle was set to Run, and it started after 2 pulls. The RPM indicated was 3120 with no fluctuations.


So, when I get a chance again, I need to retry and also leave the Lawnmower off for a bit longer maybe 10-15 minutes to see what happens.


I don't think I fixed it yet, I have probably eliminated a possible sticky needle. I still need to set the throttle just past the Cold start spot to start when cold.
This never used to be the case originally and it would always start on first pull. So even though I have replaced the Diaphragm and Orings on the Carby (Carby Kit).
Maybe the Control Spring and Return Spring are not working Properly.

My next test will be to remove the Decompression Valve, block the hole and try to start the Lawnmower Cold and then when hot after 30 minutes to check compression
and see if the Decompression Valve is faulty.

I will get back to all after my next test.


Thanks
Harry
