Hey all normally im only a victa guy but ive just got this old Ransoms cylinder mower with a villiers 2 stroke engine with a kick start ! , ive got a really healthy blue spark and fuel but i can only get one stroke out of it if i dry the spark plug . its got reasonable compression. i just cant get it to run , any ideas ?
im thinking flooding but normally you can get them to run after pulling the pulg drying it turning it over a few times full throttle but nothing ?

I would drain the fuel out, Then put maybe a capfull of fuel in the Carby.. See if it starts and runs.. This way, You can rule out other possible issues that are not Carby related. Kori

Hi tomo, I presume you are using fresh fuel....What I would try is a capful of fuel straight down the plughole and with a dry plug replaced, see if it will run....if it does, your carby may be the prob.
