Hi all
I have a Honda HR216 Petrol lawn mower which was running a bit rough, took it to my local dealer who looked at it and said it needed a new carburettor
I bought a carburettor on line fitted it replaced the spark plug and it is still pretty much the same
It starts first time on full choke but when i move the throttle to normal operation speed it backfires violently (You can see the flame coming out of the exhaust) when i move it to idle the revs go up and down (i think the technical term is the engine is hunting)
I can cut the grass on full choke as it works fine but soon as i take it off choke
the above happens and then it eventually cuts out
Any help appreciated.as i dont really trust my local dealer after he mis diagnosed my problem in the first place
