Have been working on the mower this morning.
Re riveted on the old spark module to the underside of the plate.
Got a weakish spark at the plug.
Reversed the wires to the coil cause I don't know how they go.
Got no spark at the plug so moved the wires back.
Took the magneto off and all seems good there.
Reset the air gap to the magnets as the "repairer" left the gap big enough to jump thru.
Set the gap a double fold of A4 paper thickness about .010 thou?
Got a bright blue spark at the plug. Yay
One pump at the bowl as per the tag.
Pull, pull, pull - no go.
Pulled plug - dry plug.
Four pumps at the float bowl and moved the throttle down 5mm from the start position.
Started second pull, goes like a new one.
Now starting using that setup the mower starts FIRST pull, every time.
Some repairers I had eh?
I am going to dismantle it and paint her up over the winter as I am encouraged by some of the refurbish jobs I have seen on this forum.
Can anyone PM me if they have a rear hubcap and a flap door that shuts off the chute when the catcher is off?? My flap has a huge stone hole in the middle of it.
Thanks for the suggestions and help guys!
Andy
