now i had some little wheels that came of an old electrac mower but were to small for what i wanted but as i wanted to use the front axle cos it was wide i decided to cut them up and just use the centres

You could try tiding up the edges of the weld to see if it has penetrated into the sump, from your photos it doesn’t look that good. But you never know sometimes we get a pleasant surprise. If by any chance it has penetrated then remove just enough to make it look a bit more presentable.

Yes ithink it is i will try this after repairing carb. thanks

Hondas crack there if they’ve been over revved. For the float thourghly dry it out then a drop of araldite works well, or you could solder it up.

Thats OK Chris I can buy her a new one…. Ouch !!

Thanks Angus ,so really I need to start it and see if the weights system in the engine is making any difference to the linkage connected to the manifold butterfly . if NOT then maybe the spring is to strong and not letting any slack develop during varied engine speed if its possible.

Dont cut that rollin pin up. Wendy wont have anything to wack you with if you keep buying old lawnmowers!

What a mess!!

[vhgmcbuddy]

Have recently mentioned,and it shows in the video that the engine seems to run fast even when the throttle cable is slightly open. I thought that maybe the goveners may be not set up correctly. When I look inside the inlet manifold the flap is fully open when engine switched off,also when you try to lift the connecting rod which has a spring on it there appears to be quite a lot of effort needed to alter the flap inside the manifold. can anyone explain how to set up assuming whatever is inside the engine is correct.

Now this is something I am going to watch,sounds like imagination is going to go ballistic Nigel.

Good news on the carb. It has been identified as a s 19 villiers and have now also ordered a repair kit .
