Thank you vccomm for your additional information and suggestions. I had considered getting an in-line fuel shut-off as I don't like the idea of any machines not having one installed. Seems its just a way of saving a lousy pittance rather than consider customer convenience. On the other side of the coin, I guess it keeps fuel in the whole system for these units with no choke, but this has a primer so that, I suppose, makes this side of the argument rather mute.
Wouldn't moving the cut-off switch over to the throttle plate involve extra cost of adding a throttle control assembly just to stop the machine, as speed is self-governed with the only change being removal of the spring loaded brake handle and assembly? At least it keeps the magneto clean of rust
Will check on these options after checking the valve clearances and if I can get the mower running without a rebuild due to increasing potential costs of repairs.
Appreciate your assistance.
Regards
Daryl
