Re: Jumpy start and bad on fuel
could be your crank case breather is blocked then. If you want to check your headgasket do a compression test and see if any cylinders are under performing. then get an old spark plug and drill the middle out so your left with just a threaded tube wedge the tip of a bike pump or compressor and force...

Re: Help....Crazy idle
probz an air leak one of your vac leads after the air metering device ( metal flap in airbox) like fonzooorooo said spray carb cleaner or somethin similar on each hose and lead one at a time, slow and steady wins this race, be carefull not to overly soak anything. Check your crankcase breather is cl...

Re: More info required on Ride on Mower
clean the spark plug in petrol or something, clean the carb, check the piston isnt seized then put a few drips of petrol in the plug hole in the head put the plug back on and start it. If it still dont work check the kill switch isnt always grounded. IE split wire touching the frame or motor
