tonights job cutting 5000m2 of grass with a push mower that hasnt been started for 10 years while I wait for bits for my ride on 
Although it started 3rd pull after putting fuel in ,the bloody thing runs exactly like it did before
you have to keep giving it à few presses of priming bulb thing to keep it going 
cleaned carb out and air filter but just same ....after about 1/2 of messing it sort of starts to run without priming it, but not very well
Whats the problem ? anyone any sensible ideas ?

Priming bulbs common for this. Tbh could quite possibly still be dirt in a jet in the carb.

Bit of a treat for my poor back. It's got 80mm of suspension with a low overall height.**** me!!
I do spend a bit when it comes to PPE. I've got a £700 powered dust mask in the shed.

The JD ride on mower was acting up last month, took carb off to clean it and of course the gaskets fall to bits, check online for a gasket kit, 15 quid or something, or 19 for a whole new carb on amazon. Bought the replacement carb and its so far been fine. I don't even think its worth messing about with them these days for the cost.tonights job cutting 5000m2 of grass with a push mower that hasnt been started for 10 years while I wait for bits for my ride on

We have a countax which has been fine time now and will prob buy something with an out front deck or zéro turn although it seemed à bit extravagant to just scrap the countax so have ordered à shell/blades etc to sort it, anyhow I kind of enjoy making do ....reminds me of when we came here with nowt and cut it all with a strimmer
