Thanks for that Grumpy. I will give it a go but I might just try some heavry grass first and see how the engine powers on. From what I have read these Kawasaki motors have good power so I will see just what it can cut. It has been starting and running very well actually so I cant complain on that part. It took a little fiddling to get idle speeds and top end speeds spot on. The mechanism was a bit sticky from the mower sitting for so long.
About the last thing I need to do it trim some cord from the starter pulley. It was originally a handlebar mounted starter and I am not a fan. So I removed the retainer off the handlebar and allowed the starter to retract fully but there is too much cord and it doesn't retract cleanly.
