Hi All,

Thanks for the suggestions above.

Tonight I drained the float bowl and sure enough there was oil in it. Once I flushed it I still couldn't get the mower to start but after a couple of squirts of SYB she fire up.

On the weekend I'll give it full oil change and let it run to burn off any remaining oil.

I'll then move onto my next issue which I believe is a clutch problem. When I up the rev's the reel will start spinning without me engaging it.

Thanks again for the help. Hopefully I'll be able to give something back to the community in the future.

Cheers
