Default Re: Mowing ..

I got my old Rover ProCut out of the shed today and took to do a couple of jobs.

This thing always on the first or second pull, today she didn't want to wake from it's extended slumber. I guess the fuel was stale, even though I topped the tank with fresh stuff.

Choke, no choke, full throttle, idle throttle, I even pulled the plug and cranked it over a few times to clear it out. Nothing, was looking like I would have to drive home and put the Bushranger back on the ute.

Then I pulled the air filter off and squirted WD40 down the carby in desperation. That did the trick! A bit of black smoke and a decent rev to clear its lungs and we were in action.
