It definitely sounds like a carburetor to me. It also could be the primer bar. I have heard of them wearing out and developing an air leak.
Lawnboy D Series running problems
Hi all and Happy New Year.
As the weather is mild here in the UK I decided to give the grass a tidy up and got my 1967 lawnboy (the exact model escapes me) out. Last time I used it I had to push the prime button a few times to stop it cutting out and after a few mins it was running very smooth (as it always has done). Today it took me about 5 mins to get it to run properly and had to have it set to heavy not normal for the first 10 mins or so otherwise it would cut out (could be saved with a push of the primer).
I'm guessing it's a fuel/carb issue but not sure what, anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance, John
