Hi Grumpy,
I suppose you must be wondering whats going on with the old Iron Horse.
Well I have been pottering away quietly and in the process i think i pulled the carby apart 6-8 times cleaned it adjusted the float, changed the needle and seat then changed it back,fiddled non stop under the flywheel with points, cant remember if i told you i got a second hand coil, got frustrated and left it alone over xmas had other stuff to attend to like buying xmas pressys and writing cards etc and putting on a kilo from eating to much pavlova and cream lol,spent 3 days in Hospital with breathing problems i'm ok now, then i saw a guy on Trade me(NZ site for buying and selling)who had a brand new champion J14J spark plug which you cant get anymore and swapped it with the one my idiotic local mower shop guy sold me a J19LM plug which i found out is for 4 strokes and a couple of primes and pulls of the cord and away she went no hunting, revs a bit high i think but that maybe because it's inside the laundry echoing(dont have a garage)so after nearly 3 months its alive.
so i would like to say a big thank you to you Grumpy and the other guys that chipped in with advice because in the end it paid off.
Thanks again
Take care, maybe now i know more about mowers i might be able to comment on someone else who is having problems, you never know
Cheers
Pete
