Hi Grumpy that is excellent advice, see it pays to ask an expert. I understand your advice re the choke settings, if I move the choke to get a perfect idle, one would assume that it is running too lean, the air filter box only has the foam fitted, nothing else, when I got the mower it had no filter material at all. If your advice on testing when warmed up and closing the choke slightly to get correct idle, what do you think would be the solution to this issue when the throttle control is off choke and back to the normal idle position? Cheers!
