Hi all,
Well needle arrived, bright red, guess the fuel had faded it over the years.
Changed it and not much better really if at all, managed to mow a bit more grass but apart from one time when it ran for at least a few minutes it's still not happy:-(
The intake o ring looked and felt fine to me vccomm, the hole in the tank cap is well clear bumbly.
Tried taking the fuel filter out as tank is spotless, i did clean filter through, but getting desperate now! no better.
Tried it with air filter off and that was the time it ran for the longest? I have one on order anyway.
I must say it's got me stumpted. maybe the coil is breaking down intermittently hard to check really as spark looks good when i check it. could megger it i suppose.
It did rev a bit hard at times so I may check top and bottom seals but not real optimistic the cutter plate is gonna come off! the top fan may be an easier prospect but not sure i can get a seal or if there is one anyway?
It seems to start/run best after a good prime if thats a clue but god knows now really.
