Thanks for the concise explanation. I managed to adjust the throttle cable to ensure items 3 & 7 meet. The mower now stops as it should...... However after the minor adjustment of the throttle cable the damm thing is hunting again and I have little idea why? It's hunting at idle and full speed.
The choke is opening and closing as it should.
Would resetting the govener arm again by turning clockwise as we discussed earlier be needed or do you think I have upset a setting by moving the cable ever so slightly.
