lawn mowers

we have one of those Honda IZY petrol lawn mowers, Sue loves cutting the grass. just now it stopped and would not start, it is serviced every year.
My first thought was oiled up spark plug, well whoever looked at it last time must have done it up with an air tool, I had the devil of a job taking it out . Sure enough the gap points were black as was the rest around. So out with the wire brush and cleaned it all up.

After a couple of cord pulls it spluttered back into life. What I
suspect is the fuel in the carb got used and the fuel in the tank had an air gap before getting to the carb causeing it to not run.
All fixed now making Sue happy

A word of advice, RS, don't ask Sue what's for dinner while she's mowing the lawn
