Default Repairing the Lawn Mower

g'day terry,

sounds like some problem with the carby, if you have the expertise
remove tank/carby assemblt from the moweer and disassemble. most
likely fault would be the diaphram replace that also make sure the
screens on the pick up tubes are free from lint etc.,. flush out tank
to remove any foreign material. if you have access to air remove main
jet adfustment screw and blow out the jet. the machine should restart
if you set the adjustment screw 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 turns out from just
seating in the jet.

if that is not the problem the next thing to look at is the valves you
may find that the intake valve needs regapping, that requires a fair
bit more expertise.

don't think you are going to find a web site you may need to buy a b&s
service manual or maybe a lending library may have one?
