Mower engine query
I have a cheap Champion mower which has been excellent for the last 8 years,
it has suddenly started to be very difficult to start. Symptoms It wont start at all on choke on slow it fires but peters out before getting going after about 15 pulls it finally goes and runs fine until I stop to empty the grass box, then it will be reluctant to restart (although not as bad as when cold) On opening the throttle it revs up and down and is reluctant to settle and it does similar if it suddenly has longer grass. It seems to be worse if the fuel tank is not more than half full. What I know its not Spark plug, changed that it made no difference, Air filter, took that off and it made no difference Safety brake not clearing, checked that and it comes on and off as it should. Seems like a fuel problem but I have no manual, so is there a fuel filter somewhere that could be partially blocked?, or could a partial blockage in the carb produce these symptoms? Any other low tech suggestions welcome -- Charlie, Gardening in Cornwall Holders of National Collections of Clematis viticella and Lapageria rosea cvs http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk |
