Question -
Hi there, I have the above petrol lawn mower which is about 3 1/2 yrs old. Just lately it has started to cut out while mowing, this normally happens when the mower is put under a "bit" of load, not excessive. Do you have any ideas what it might be, or where I could start troubleshooting? I have searched everywhere for a workshop manual for this mower, but no luck.
Hope you can help

Chris

Answer -
 Hello Chris:

 It sounds like the Carb needs to be Cleaned and Rebuilt. The Main Jet in the Carb may be Becoming Clogged with the Varnish that Gas Forms. Hope this Helps.

 Good Luck

Ok I'll try that - thanks
What would you reccommend cleaning the carb with?  

Answer
 Hello Chris:

 It sounds like you might get by with the Spray Carb Cleaner. Be sure to Wear Safety Glasses and Blow out ALL Ports and Passages with Compressed Air to ensure they are Free of Blockage. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
