Hello, my jet drills arrived.
I am glad I wasn't impatient and waited for them, they were the right tool for the job.
The 0.45mm was the right size for the small holes in the emulsifier.
The 1.6mm drill went up the centre nicely.
I found magnetising a screwdriver made them easier to handle.

Because I took the carb off so many times for cleaning, I compressed the gaskets, so I coated the gaskets with non setting Master gasket - Loctite, I think this made a difference in how it runs now.

The engine has some unevenness whilst warming up, then come good.

It is not the prettiest Honda out there, but it is starting first pull and all working. First speed on the gear box is a nice leisurely walking pace, second speed pulls you along a bit.
I just have to keep an eye out for a catcher and a hub cap, then it will be complete. I would like three new cables, but these are working OK for now.

Thanks Grumpy for your help on this, I learnt a lot and I am very satisfied with the results and the way the mower works, it is a good machine.
