I couldn't get my petrol lawnmower to start and have messed with the air and fuel intake screws!!!! Can anyone tell me how to get them back to normal as I have since been told that it probably wouldnt start as I still had the old petrol in it!!! :oops:

It is a challenge xtreme slm40c2 came from argos i think, don't really know what carb it is???
 
one of the screws has a small spring behind it and the other is black (plastic) looking and this presses against a piece of metal from one of the cables (throttle??) :confused:

These lot make it

Take out the screw with the spring that goes into the carb....if it has a point on it, turn it fully in and then out again 1 turn - this is the slow running or pilot mixture.
Does the carb have a priming bulb, and is the fuel fed to the carb by gravity?
If so, replace the gasket between the carb body and the air filter housing - problems with this prevent fuel priming.

I recommend you try to keep away from squabbles.

And drop that signature

Any reason for this?
