Hi, I'm after some advice regarding my Honda GCV160 (Victa body) lawn mower. I bought this mower from Bunnings about 18 months ago and until recently it has been fantastic.
I have an extremely small area of lawn so it really hasn't had much use.
Now I have a bit of a problem. It won't run smoothly. The revs go up and down a bit and the engine dies when reducing the throttle position down past about half way.
I recently lent the mower to a neighbour and he ran it out of fuel so I'm thinking this could have caused the carby to gunk up. The mower starts ok. I've put new fuel in which made no difference.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am mechanically minded but know next to nothing about carburettors so any advice relating to the carby would probably need to be fairly detailed.
I was just going to take it somewhere to get fixed but I found this forum so thought I'd try my luck. I'm thinking I will probably get ripped off by taking it to a mower place.
Many thanks in advance.
Very busy
