    That carburetor received "a bit of a happy birthday". I was thinking it was going to be another plastic carb but it's still the same process to drill out any jet. Nice video Mick.

    Thank you for your great tutorial.
    Scored myself a free SP414 that wouldn’t keep running after the initial primer start and needed constant primer pumps to keep it going. Followed this video and yes the carb was full of crud. Now runs a dream. 👍

    Mick, I can’t thank you enough. I have two of these mowers and both started hunting. Ive had the carbs apart several times but could not get to the bottom of the problem.
    I have just followed what you did in this video and BOOM, no more hunting. Before, I didn’t spot the slow jet or the tube into which the main jet flows.
    Top job, keep up the good work.

Mountfield certainly take some stick in some quarters, but are amazing for the price point. The more expensive ones rock in general, and looked after are good quality machines.

I like them. Good video🙂👍

    • @themowerman

      Yeah some seem to be ok but with the low end stuff that comes in I see that the plugs are bad and all seem to be the same.

    My RS100 has an issue where it starts and then engine stops after a few seconds. I’ve cleaned the carb as described in the video (less the micro drills), and have even stripped and cleaned in an ultrasonic tank with carb cleaner. The carb and jets look spotless, yet the engine issue persists.
    The only problem I can potentially see is the slow speed jet, which is not blocked but the hole seems very small. So small not even a sewing needle will enter it. Is this normal?
    If not the slow speed jet, I’m lost for ideas and welcome any suggestions of what to look at next.
    Thanks

I read up and apparently Torch spark plugs started up in 1961, so they aren’t one of these new Chinese companies, I personally rate the 10 out of 10, I’ve had more issues with NGK and champion plugs over the years.
