Hi Moby, the only other thing i could think of would be try another plug in it, maybe some something hotter.
Regards, Ted
A solid suggestion Ted, but it's already running an NGK BPMR4A, which is the hottest plug that NGK does in that particular fitment. I swapped the plug out of one of my Suzukis, so I know it's a genuine NGK.
Will a genuine Suzuki starter mechanism fit that Mick? I have one here if it will. I can get it down to Brisbane for you in a few weeks time as my neighbours friends from Redcliffe are coming up soon and they will gladly take it down for you.
Not as such Trev, because the unit's current Honda/Chonda-clone Starter has 6 bolt-down holes @ 60deg apart, as opposed to the 4 holes @ 90deg apart on a genuine Suzuki Starter. However, I suspect there's a good chance that the cowling from a Suzuki would swap straight over with the Chuzuki's, and thus provide the required 4 bolt holes that would be needed to receive a genuine Suzuki Starter. It's a very kind offer Trev and I thank you for it, but if I thought it was worth doing, I'd just pull the necessary bits off my standby Suzuki.
'Tis a double pity they've used suck krap plastic in the Chuzuki Starter, because its 6 bolt holes allow you to point the Starter Cord Handle just off to either the left or the right of the Handle Bars (so as to suit a left or right-handed operator) in a manner that you just can't do with the original Suzuki, wherein the Cord Handle ends up having to point either directly backwards, or forwards, or sideways. In the right-wrong circumstances, a sideways-pointing Starter Handle on a somewhat hard-to-start Suzuki (albeit perhaps with an unwisely-short Starter Cord) can actually lead to a mower flip-over, courtesy of the motor's light weight...
Thanks Once Again,
Moby Mick.
