Hi,
I purchased a cheap petrol lawnmower.
McCulloch M40 450
I already had the exact same item but for £20 & very good condition i just decided to buy it.
It was cheap as the owner could not start it but i fitted a new plug & now starts no problem.
One thing i have noticed is that 9/10 when i start it i have noticed it hunts ?
Not sure of correct name but sounds a bit like somebody is pressing down thr throttle pedal as if on a race track.
I have noticed also it seems to run faster / louder then my other of which is exactly the same.
I thought i was hearing things so i started it & confirm mine is much quieter.
So my questions are.
Why is it hunting ?
Why is it running faster & louder than mine ?
I did pop off the air filter cover to find say 3/4 of the foam filter missing,would this be the cause.
Thanks
