Re: The Bastard Stalls!
Similar problems but on a V6 Ford car engine led me to purchase, on the advice of a mechanic, an aerosol of carburettor cleaner which when squirted into the air intake cured the problem. Although originally the engine would start it only ran on one or two cylinders. This it transpires was due to the car not being used, the fuel when it dried up in the carb. formed a lacquer on the inside which when mixed with fresh fuel on trying to start the car broke up and formed blockages in the jets. The aerosol content actually dissolved the lacquer itself. Problem solved without risking stripping down the carb.Re: The Bastard Stalls!

You can get spares here Bruce - they ship worldwide.Re: The Bastard Stalls!
had the same or nearly the same with a chinese petrol powered lawn mower. had that about 10/12 years then it started hunting. First thought bad fuel so replaced with new petrol. Still same problem checked everything possible eventually had a mower mechanic look at it. Seems the control arm spring to the carb weakens after a time that governs the engine speed, hence the hunting.Re: The Bastard Stalls!
