So I couldn't wait, again, so today I took the cowling off the yellow vortex. I then removed the fuel tank, I have made my own tool for G4 carbys out of a short piece of new fuel line and the end of a Bic pen to put on the carby where the fuel line goes in when I'm doing anything to a mower because before the original tank can be used I have to clean it out thoroughly and it can take up to 3 days before I'm happy that the tank is like new again. I blew all of the old cobwebs out of the air filter assembly and the hose from the carby end up. I took the spark plug out, cleanetd it up, put a very small amount of 2-stroke in through the spark plug hole and the smallest amount of carby cleanerin too, I make sure the spark plug lead is well insulated, then I very gently pull the starter twice, gently turn the mower over and again gently pull the starter to expell any crap and excess liquid I put in. I wait about 5 minutes, cable tie a tank I know is clean (I have a separate fuel tank that I have made sure is super clean and has a long flexible line just for seeing if any new mower I pick up run) I put the spark plug back and attach the cable, then turned on the fuel line, primed the carby and, with a fire extinguished with in reach, pulled the starter.
FIRST GO, she started like a brand new mower. NO DIRTY SMOKE, a few small coughs at the start but this blew me away!!! I wish I could post video, it is one of the nicest sounds that I have ever heard. These power torque engines feel like they are on a tight leash, they feel like they have so much more power to show and almost are crying out to show you....
