g'day terry,

sounds like some problem with the carby, if you have the expertise
remove tank/carby assemblt from the moweer and disassemble.

I am slowly acquiring that {:-).
I have now taken it apart twice and put it back together and it worked
both times {:-). The first time I had a bolt left over. The second time
I found where that bolt belonged {;-)



likely fault would be the diaphram replace that also make sure the
screens on the pick up tubes are free from lint etc.,.

Well, that is a bit of relaxing news. I did find a whole pile of lint
stuck on one of them and didn't know if it should be there, but was
falling apart or I should remove it. It was removed.

Would there be a carby kit? I'm thinking that as well as a general spark
plug, air filter, blades replacement, it might be time to do a carby
renewal.
