Thanks for re-opening this thread.
I should have re-posted up earlier about my problems encountered the following day after finalising this thread.
I seem to be back to square one. It seems as if the mower is running on choke.
All of the linkages are free and moving correctly. The breather hose is not impacting the linkage movement. I tested this by slowly moving the governor arm and making sure the springs and linkages were moving as they should. No problems where identified.
The next day the mower started very easily and appeared like it was running on choke for 10 seconds and then it all cleared up and ran perfectly. I then tried it later in the day and I was back to square-one. The mower simply acted like it was running on choke (from the black puffs) of smoke coming out the exhaust. The mower wouldn�t stall it just continued to chug away with light puffs of black smoke.
Since encountering the problem I have re-cleaned the carby and replaced the o rings again incase I accidently damaged on upon installation and the problem is still identical.
The carby was meticulously cleaned with carby cleaner, compressed air and my jet drill cleaning set so I am very confident its as clean as possible.
I am open to any thoughts as this problem has me a little confused.
