Well The Carby Rebuild went OK it seems to be running smoother now

So Thank you Bruce smile & loven the Cap laugh

I rebuilt the original shorter snorkel and put that back on
(I think it was the original not sure now)

Sadly as I was reassembling the other carby/snorkel the end cover split frown
anyway it probably needs a new primer and O ring
so I'll leave it for now

Still haven't as yet check compression but run it through some tallish grass it died off somewhat but recovered better then before...just got to find the compression tester...still... seems there life in the old girl yet so no biggie (yet anyway)

Thank you Mr Davis for the Kill Cut out info
its still a pain thought... had 3 attempts to get it right
I ended up using a multimeter to check continuity...the tricky part of that is, I guess in shorts a coil so you have coil Resistance when open
(I did have the schematic Diagram of the electrics but of course cant find it)

so I was reading 1R3(1.3 ohms) open and of course shorted
(when I got it right) near zero 0.2 ohms to be exact on my meter
(the way my meter works..it would probably be different for you depending on meter spec lead contact etc..just look for open higher closed lower near zero...measured at the bootie)

So alls good... smile...well so far..( well till I found the post below)

Regardless, Thank you all for your Help much appreciated smile

Yes so it needs a New Paint job...maybe
if I do managed to re ring it, more likely rebuild is the go
(cylinder piston for a redone one but I may attempt it my self..then again costs add up quickly.. bearings etc if you want to do it right
And being non Oz version (sadly frown ), not really worth it I guess so humm)

looking at this thread confirms my first suspicions, it looks to have had its day

Seriously thought its a new POS mower I think..
I might see what the second hand place has
but well price..
curb side pick ups go quick here and a whole lot of new rubbish is there...like 1/2 later

oh well its still cutting grass atm ...

Anyway smile

If it ain't Broke Don't Fix it...
Sometimes I wish I'd listen to myself
