The engine on my Suffolk Punch 35,a 4 stroke petrol model causing
problems.With a pull cord start,it starts OK and then runs for about 2
minutes and then dies.After a delay,it starts up again and then dies.
I have cleaned the air filter and renewed the spark plug to no
avail.Anyone any suggestions please ?


Is the hole in the filler cap blocked?

Petrol starvation.

Not sufficient petrol getting through because as Martin says the filler cap
