Hi Grumpy, sorry its been a while again,, but have finally found the wires at fault.. I did track a mower down, exact same model, motor, everything the same,, except this one ran properly. After a number of days tracing wires here and there and everywhere, the only difference between the two mowers wiring was ,on mine, the wire that came out from under the flywheel had actually been joined up with the wire to the ignition module,, on the donor mower it was not. Other than that, there is no difference at all. I set up my wiring the same way and with fingers crossed tried to start the motor. Kicked over first go, ran beautifully from idling all the way to full revs. Again left it for a day tried again, same result, ran perfect..
I cant believe that after starting with a simple problem of a decompression unit, we ended up on a couple of months wiring hunt.
I would like to thank you heaps for you help on this one Grumpy, it is greatly appreciated.
