Carb & main jet & emulsion tube has been apart & cleaned. I am them pumping too many times hence the fuel on the deck. I will order a carb gasket.

Ive been out & deck is dry. Ive pumped the primer say 10 times & now i see deck below air filter housing is wet with fuel

Ive been cutting grass for a few years now & all my neighbours think im a mower man repair guy hence why ive been given another mower to look at. This time its a Mountfield SP454 & overall its in very good shape / condition. Lady told me it just died & wouldnt start again then left in a dry...

Ah ok cheers. Sometimes when operating i do hear say AIR being blown back into the tank. I expected to here a gurling noise BUT i dont, i hear air when bulb is empty. This would then explain why the primer takes 3/4 tries & becoming empty

Sometimes when pressing the primer bulb i dont see any fuel, i mean i could press it 3/4 times & nothing. After a while i do see fuel but it seems to be a different situation from my other petrol tools that i use. So do you think its the rubber flap under the primer bulb at fault.

Primer bulb is empty thus blower not starting. There are no splits in the bulb & fuels lines are intact & not split etc. I sprayed carb cleaner directly into the air filter & after a few pulls got it started. I was able to pump the primer & could now see fuel in it. Switched it off & am I...

Job done & fits a treat

Whilst cutting the grass the lower handle snapped one side, common issue as it the first time with Mountfield Mowers. Using that well known selling / buying site i purchased a lower handle from G H S Today the handle arrived BUT its about 4 inches to long & just looking i can see that it wont...

That’s for her to sort. Ha ha

I’ve taken all the handle pieces apart & put back together. Now done. Thanks.

Also not sure if this advises you of anything but I rotate the choke knob to say on or half but it doesn’t lock there & just returns straight back to off.

I don’t think it’s an on off for the user as it’s not seen when the handle is on. The lock lever for the throttle has metal contacts along its path

when you say drop down you mean rotate more clockwise thus having more to squeeze ? I say that as it’s on a spindle. Not sure about the switch.

My neighbours gardener asked me if I would look at the blower as she described it as no throttle. The throttle has little movement when I operate it. Handle removed & I can see that the plastic trigger part is right next to the plastic trim meaning as soon as I operate the trigger the plastic...

The user is now in control where the other carb which had no adjustments is useless after a while.

So now i have had time to fit my purchased adjustable 2 jet carb purchased from that well know auction site. I had to drill a small hole in the handle so the tick over screw could be adjusted. Between the carb & the two 8mm nuts that hold it in place is a black plastic section which the air...

what do you think about this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185027031881

Ok Just looking & i see some carbs that have a L & H adjustment but my issue then is I dont have the holes in the handle or beyond to pass the screwdriver through. Me drilling a hole to allow this is going to then be hit or miss to get it right.

Ah ok. I read it as L & H but LH means tick over. Seems to tick over ok but i then pull trigger & then it stalls Yes left hand thread so i screw it clockwise to make it richer / more fuel correct Turning the screw i see it run fast / slow depending on which way but pulling trigger stalls it...

There is no L / H screw. It has 1 tick over a few & it’s left hand thread. It starts & can tick over.
