Hi All

I have a Mountfield mower with a Honda GCV135 engine which starts fine
and seems to run fine but then cuts out after a minute or so, it
restarts ok but cuts out again after a minute.

A friend looked at it and checked the plug and said it seems to be
running rich does anyone have any suggestions or know how to set the
mixture on this engine.

How long have you had it? Has it been like this since you got it?
If so .............errm.........is the petrol turned on? Don't have a
lot of experience of Honda engines but many of them have a petrol tap
just below the choke lever and it's not always immediately obvious
which way is 'on' especially if there's a bit of dirt around.
