So I took a punt and dropped into Adelaide Mower Centre yesterday.
My younger brother suggested I should try and find a mower shop that’s been around forever and this place was exactly that. The guy there was incredibly helpful and pulled a carby off of a Kirby engine he had out the back which was in much better condition that mine. I took it home and cleaned it up and the old banger standard on the second pull! Happy days. The only issue now is the fuel tap leaks and passes and the seal on the float bowl drain is knackered. No big deal, I can sort that out later.
The main objective was to get the engine going so I could check all the running gear on the mower, which thankfully seems to all be A1.
Now for the strip down....... let the fun begin.
