Hi All,
Firstly thanks for all the great info I've already got from this forum.

This compact has been ok for years since pulling from a tip for a few quid. It had no needle when i got it but i put one in and has been great since .
Recently though it just wouldn't start well and only runs for a short time then stops.

I thought it time to clean the carby and the primer (original external to the float chamber)has been chewed through over winter by a mousie along with a hole chewed through tank!
Anyway, cleaned tank, soaped up hole, cleaned all through, overhauled decomp v/v and still only runs for a bit then just dies. seems like a good spark to me, seems like a fuel issue to me.
My questions are, the tube from the jet screw (white) is in the jet screw itself is that right?
Could the needle be sticking closed, and is the orange one I have right? It used to work.
Is my black poppet valve in the carb right, and I assume there is no 'A,B,C' adjustment that is possible with this poppet valve.
I got hold of a new carb cover just to use as a primer and repalced the o rings on the float chamber cover, the float, floated ok.
Anyone any ideas?
From what I can tell these are not that common a mower.
Thanks
