I've put in clean fuel, replaced plugs, it starts and runs for a few seconds when I spray starter fluid in the carb. I am thinking this might be some sort of shear pin/bolt that has gone, my blades take a lot of abuse.

If anyone knows if this is the case and can point me in the right direction on replacing one, much appreciated.

The grass is growing as I type!

Pulled carb, not too dirty but cleaned it up.

Checked fuel lines, cleaned as well as I could.

Finally cranked and running!! Just in time for rain today.

Thanks,
Bill
