Where would I give it the starter fluid? Sorry. Remove the air filter and give a big squirt straight down the carb throat. Have played with the needle valve and got it to the point where starts but it won't ever tick over until operating temperature is reached. Yes, it is now misadjusted. Screw it completely in and then out 1 1/2 turns. Clockwise will increase idle speed. You are correct it is an end-stop. If the screw does not touch metal. then investigate the throttle cable and the linkages. It would be very unusual for the linkage springs to lose "springyness". I don't understand your question about the choke. The choke should be controlled manually, usually by a lever. When starting the engine with ether to adjust the screws the choke should be completely open. If your choke is fully closed then you have discovered your problem. Find the choke control and open the choke. The choke control may be on the mower handles or on the engine. Since you've fooled with the mixture screw you'll need to do the "two screw" adjustment. Won't hazard a guess with customs and VAT but a carb rebuild kit is $15USD. Dave M. |
