Thanks for your advice Andrew and Len! I will try your suggestions,
especially cleaning of the filter and maybe a new plug!

I'm also going to mix myself up a batch of "White Oil" from the recipe on
your site Len - for the citrus leaf-miner on my new Lime, Lemon and Orange
trees! The little buggers are right into them and I'm wanting to stay as
organic as possible!

Cheers,
Mick

g'day mick,

25:1 mix is the correct mix for it that ='s 40mil's of oil per 1litre
of petrol. make sure you are uisng only 2 stroke mower oil and not
maybe outboard oil. also check the filter maybe it needs cleaning or
replacing sounds like there is some restriction to air flow, could
also be a clogged up muffler and or exhaust port. outside of that you
may have to take it in for a mechanic to look ata new plug can do
wonders at times.
