Thanks so much grumpy, you guys are amazing on this site.
Yeah the choke is very annoying. But then the motor is 8 years older than me and still going strong.
I've dissembled the starter clutch and wiped it all out, there was a little black stuff inside so I wiped it all out and put it all back together with 1 drop of oil.
Just turning the shaft by hand it seems to be good and grabbing straight away.
I wont be able to tell for sure till I replace my other issue and fire it up again.
Also is there supposed to be a rubber washer or something on the oil filler plug? Mine seems to leak a bit which is noticeable on my nice new looking mower.
Thanks again grumpy
