Hi All

 

I have this qualcast suffolk punch 43 mower

It is hard to start

 

1......I give it full or three quater thotle

2......Full choke

23....Pull start cord then when it fires up and runs I have to

       lean over very quick and keep putting choke half then full or it would stop

4.....when it settles down after about a minute I pt it on half choke

5...... runs all okay then with no choke

6......after about 30 mins running and i stop it It will not start again untill I let it go cold again

 

Hope some one can sort it

Kind Regards

No quick answer.

Probably needs a thorough “ going over”

Compression, valve sealing and clearances .

Plug type and gap. Assume, electronic ignition but if not clean and gap points.

Carburettor. Thorough clean .
