18 months ago our lawn mower became ill and would lose power whilst
cutting the
grass. The mower would tick over ok (albeit with timing
issues), but when
moving, the engine would just cut out. We were
always able to complete a few
lengths of the lawn though.
When calling out an engineer to sort the problem (and sharpen the
blades) he
suggested it may be the carburetor.
Present day!!
I just completed an oil and spark plug change. The mower started 1st
time and
ticked over; still out of time and with a little misfire. I
again completed a
few lengths of the lawn, after which the mower cut
out; In fact, the mower was
then only happy ticking over.
I have adjusted the mixture to make it richer, which allowed me to
complete the
lawn. The mower is still a bit nervous when getting
going, and does not tick
over like a happy engine should. As I said
earlier, there is also a little
misfire or cough/splutter. Would
prefer to keep using this mower as we prefer
the quality to the nasty
B&Q mower we also have.
Is it the carburetor or a settings issue?
