hi guys,
i have been trying to get this mower running it was brought to me with a broken throttle cable.
i fixed the throttle cable
when i tried to start it it would just run for a few seconds then stall the revs wouldnt pick up at all
so i pulled the carby off and cleaned everything and blew compressed air everywhere (including the main jet)
got rid of old BLACK fuel that was in the tank
replaced the air filter
replaced the gasket between carby and air filter/primer plate
replaced a perished fuel hose
checked the flywheel key but its fine
cleaned spark plug it had some oil by the look of it
so now im thinking the rings might be gone although it seems to have plenty of compression using my thumb on the plug hole (i have no compression tester) what is the easiest way to check the rings?
or any other ideas please
the engine numbers are: 12f802-1911-b10205 1758
cheers, Emmo
