Hi Grumpy,
Bad news I got it all assembled and have been trying to start her BUT no go.
so I took out the spark plug to have a look, and it had a bit of petrol on it so at least it's reaching the plug.
so then i tested the plug whilst out and against the metal and NO SPARK again, yep that's right I've lost the spark somehow.
I haven't been working on it for a couple of days cause I've been busy. really all that was left to do was sharpen the blade and put the tank on which i did today took it outside no go !!
any suggestions what could be happening ?
oh and i tried it with the tank off in case it was shorting it made no difference.
Pete
