Hi Tiger, further sanding of the needle won't help, been there done that. I'm reluctant to try reaming the seat, so difficult to see up in there. Such a pity that they are let down by these needles, I might have to give up on fixing them, sick of spending hours trying to get one to work
I reckon it will be hard to give up on them despite their well documented carby issues. Why? Because these machines are so reliable, they cut through anything, they're relatively easy to service, they seem to outlast a lot of other mowers, they work on all angles and length of grass doesn't bother them. I hear your frustration but are any of the mowers out there perfect?
