hi guys, been a while since postsed. Getting warmer so decided to clean up my cylinder mower & get my lawn back to the condition it was in my pic top left. Anyway didnt use it last year so the mower has been sitting for a while without being started. Cleaned spark plug, new fuel & started second pull. But...3 issues hope you can help
1. Engine wont idle. Have tried the idle screw but there is so much vibration in the linkage, see pic circled, that it is very difficult to adjust when running. Should this linkage be loose at all?
2. Hunting/ surging. At say half throttle when I engage the clutch and load is placed on the engine, it will surge. Seems not to like the extra load of spinning the reel etc. Seems generally to be running rough as well (replaced rubber diaphragm couple of yrs ago)
3. Clutch engage lever flicks over and engages by itself when the engine is running. Perhaps due to vibration. Obviously this is dangerous so need to fix thit issue.
Engine ID 91202 0016 04 9408103
thanks for your help- Ross
