have emptied the exciter flushed out and put new auto fluid in.have looked at the clutch .and now seems to be going great thanks for all your help.
now I can give it a general good clean oil change of engine and it will look a lot better than in the photo .
yes I think there is . will have a look at this and see if I can clean or lubricate it in some way. it might be sticking as I have not used this for some time. I am getting a lot of ideas and help from your comments thanks
the engine has only been used for about 6 hours in total belive it or not I had a new engine put on it when I got it and have only used it on 5 or 6 jobs.has been in garage for a few years now but starts within two pulls I am in the process of cleaning it up as I am now doing my own drive.
