Yes, bigted, main jet and emulsion tube were removed and cleaned, as was the idle. Cleaning was done internally as per the videos as pointed out by grumpy in other posts re Sanli. Photos were posted purely to indicate the level of brute force and/or ignorance this poor mower has endured in it's life.
Did a reinstall of the carby just to confirm fuel leakage problem now resolved. Will do a full refitting when the gaskets finally arrive via snail mail.
I have every faith that this unit will live again. (May even have a go at resurrecting motor on donor chassis if this all works out.)
ihatewetsocks - I didn't like the look of the ochre coloured stuff in any case. Always thought that fuel systems should be pristine. That was why I ordered a replacement bowl along with gaskets.
