thank you bigted and lads, [Linked Image]
just put it all back together and still had to put pressure in the fueltank to start but only once. i really dont like how the fuel line runs so close to the engine. now she is happy as this mower is back to normal, half pull start, runs at all revs sweet, freshly faced up blades, the catcher is a prob(cracked). but thanks again for the input. i love this learning new stuff stuff. i may pull out another i have that i was scared of.
cheers lads
