thanks again for the detailed reply grumpy.have degreased & cleaned the entire motor & definately no other numbers on the engine than those quoted previously.
have had the carby apart & cleaned it all,there was a bit of gunk in there but it wasn`t too bad.it started first go & sounded the best that it has but wont be doing any mowing until monday,will report back then.also the cooling cowl was nice & clean,no built up grass
one other thing i want to ask about,is that the mower moves faster in reverse than it does going forward,is this just a matter of adjusting the drive disc ?
many thanks
jason
