Ok, replaced the Primer Cap, O-ring seal and the needle. Tried the needle both ways, i.e. sharp end in first, then round end in. Left it (new yellow needle) with the round end in the small brass seat, inside the cap.
No Leaks.. woohoo! Primer Cap is horizontal , as stated on the cap. And the external Brass screw is also horizontal with the primer cap... (not sure about this ???)
Mower won't start now.... bugger! , but no leaks...
Should the external brass screw also be horizontal , with the primer cap ?
Not sure if fuel is getting in to the engine, fuel certainly is in the carbie, cos when I press the primer pump, fuel squirts out.
Also tried another test... took out the spark plug cleaned it up
and left it out of the engine still plugged to the lead, Fuel turned off at the tank... Tried pulling the starter rope to see if any sparks occur. Zilch! Nothing...
Should the spark plug still fire with it out of the engine, FUEL OFF, plugged to it's lead, when the starter rope is pulled ? Cos nothing's happening at the moment...
So, not sure if it's the electrics or the fuel not getting into the engine....
Anyone... help..!
Thanks....
