No, there are no problems with any gas or oil leaks - I meant no leaks at all.
Sorry for the confusion

There are no problems with the oil level or oil and petrol leaks. As I
say, the mower starts over and over again without issue. I have drained
the carb as well and the air filter is cleaned regularly.

Advice please!




You say the gas leaks? Is this at the carb? If so, work the carb.

Oh bloody Peace
