Cutting grass this morning i felt that the mower wasnt as good as normal,i put it down to the grass being longer due to all the rain we had.
This afternoon i did another large garden & was fine for say 20 minutes but then it felt as if i was having to push it harder, yet again i put it down to the grass.
Whilst going up a bank i could here the revs starting to come down then the mower stopped.
I thought fuel so i went for my botle but noticed by the little amount i put in it that fuel wasnt the issue.
Now home i removed fuel pipe at carb & fuel flows.
Spark seemed weak but it was sunny & as i didnt have another i put it in my strimmer & first pull it started & run fine so i would say pl;ug ok.
I removed the recoil & operated it & fine so re-fitted it.
Ive cleaned that little rectangle switch by the flywheel & when operated you can hear it make contact as it clicks.
Air filter off & fuel poured in but still wont start.
Plug out & fuel poured in but still wont start.
What i did notice is when i rotate the blade around under the deck at the same point i hear a squeak.
I removed the recoil & spun it by hand to when i could hear the squeak then marked the white fin on the flywheel.
Spun it around by hand & each time the marked fin came to the same place it squeaked.
Ran out of ideas as to whet is going on & how to fix it
