Hey guys,

i saw this mower in the classifieds so decided to grab it. All that was needed was a new carby primer section to get it running.

Checked the flywheel and pistons before i bought it and both are in great nick.

Now, a question, for most part the engine runs fine but now and then i might get an intermittent backfiring and a puff of smoke (this might happen every 3-4 seconds), would anyone have a clue as to what this may be, or is this part of the Twin normal running procedure?

(note, i have not really replaced the spark plugs/ reconditioned the carby but i will eventually get there just in case you guys think this might be the cause of the problem).

also, what kind of catcher am i looking for here as the mower has come without one.
