I have a Hayter 56, the slightly bigger brother to yours and in the18 years I have owned it, other than new blades, it has needed two replacement diaphragms and one replacement drive belt. they are good machines but do need basic servicing. Mike Well I have had the machine serviced at two very good mower companies before now but they took so long that i take it to a general mower man nearby instead . Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and book it in to Bryants or Browns then ... Need to print your instructions out in large letters and try and follow them if I can! Thanks Mike much appreciated You might find it a whole lot easier, and far less costly to remove the spark plug when the mower stops, and see whether its sparking properly or not, as I suggested in an earlier post. Posters on here seem blissfully unaware of the fact an engine needs 3 things before it will run: 1) Air 2) Fuel 3) Spark.................you seem to have had someone investigate the first 2 things at some length, so taking a good look at the third possibility might be worth a try before squandering so much money, it would have been cheaper to have bought a new mower. Not forgetting compression :-) Bill |

My minitractor suffered from identical problem. Kink in fuel line - tank to carb (plastic small bore pipe), causing fuel starvation same place every outing ! Now sorted. Also ensure that there are no rising sections in the line - best if there is continuous fall. Regards Pete www.thecanalshop.com |

It may be getting too little or too much petrol. Will do. Does sometimes stink of petrol when try and restart it after it stops. Janet, you had a lot of information, probably information overload, all from mostly well intentioned poster - bar one Bart!. The symptom you've just mentioned may well lead an engineer to quickly discover the solution to your problem. I'm not going to suggest a reason or cure as you have had enough already and more would only serve to confuse. Good luck and I think you'll be up and running again soon. Bill |
