Hi all
The main problem seems to be the engine purportedly. I don't think any conclusion can be drawn from a survey of 4 reviews, in fact the mower get's a pass mark of 3 out of five stars from the reviews. I'm not sticking up for it just putting a hopefully balanced opinion across. After cleaning the jets twice it starts and performs well, starts cold in 2 - 4 pulls, the choke butterfly adjustment is critical as is fitting the air filter element as I found out. Yes it's a little more smokey than expected but not over the top for a 2 stroke and I run all my 2 strokes on 25/1 so that may contribute. Engine failure isn't mentioned in the reviews. I think it's tidy unit and will do the job well, probably set to run on the lean side to meet emission standards of the time and on the last 2 starts when I turned the fuel tap off to let it run the carby dry was amazed at how long it took.
cheers
