Hi Grumpy, have some bad news. The bloke that owns the mower is not interested in repairing it in any way, bit silly if you ask me considering it is only about 2 yrs old if i'm not mistaken, and only done approx 200hrs work. Would of liked to sink me teeth into it, but each to their own. Explained everthing to him as you have to me but couldnt persuade him, no doubt i'll see him when it is in worse condition then it is now. ( have dealt with a few Hondas like you have, the best one had water in sump, two-stroke fuel and a spark plug from what looked to be a chainsaw which they had somehow got running, needless to say it was cheaper to buy a new mower then try to repair) Thanks heaps for your advice and help Grumpy, much appreciated.
