I realised it was your plug Dave when I tried to start it up tonight. Changed the plug, the mower starts, runs for a second or 2 and then dies, I go through the cycle a few times, it always starts but won't go beyond a second or two. This all suggests the carby is at fault but I've cleaned it umpteen times already. Other problem which it now has is the starter squeals when I pull on it and it makes a rumbling sound as well some of the time when I pull the cord. So no, not quite there yet.
