Thanks, it is stating to look as if I can get two engines working.
The newer mower pictured on the right, was found upside down on the scrap metal pile at the local tip. My wife recognised it as a Honda and a fella helped her load it into the ute.

Have been doing some cleaning and noticing some differences between the two.

Cleaned out breathers, washed screen filter in fuel. Also ensured hole at the bottom was clear.

The jet drills make cleaning the carburettors a lot easier, I used to poke around the galleries with different sized bread tie wires.


Happy is he who penetrates the mystery of things.
