Hi all
I have an old VC160 Mark 3 mower with a G3 carby. I have replaced the carby with a new unused carby that the local mower shop had as the mower was running badly before that. I took the new carby apart and cleaned all the jets and bowl and replaced the o rings to make sure that the carby wa in good working order. When you spray carby cleaner through the jets it enters the carby fine.
However once I installed the new carby the same problems are still hapening, so I thought I would ask for advise. The problemas are as follows:
1) The mower will only start when you spray 'start ya bastard' into the carby.
2) The engine will then run at full throttle only, although it does sometimes run on idle fine as well.
3) The mower does not run smothly from full to slow or vise verser. it bogs down alot and sometimes stalls.
I know that it is not the carby as I installed it on a mates VC160 Mark 3 and that mower started first pull and ran like new.
I have noticed that the mower maybe leaking out the bottom seal. Would this cause the above issues? The mower does have good compression and once going at full throttle is very powerful and easily cuts through any grass.
I look forward to your reponses.
