]Hi tattie [ we call these spuds down south]thanks I have now looked further, had the engine running although still hunting[ this is when its revs are going up and down] took off the plug leads to the right cylinder nothing happened so have to presume its the ign coil so await a replacement. As to the manual no I have looked but not found one yet but if I do will post. BFN

Hi again after six months of messing with the carb as well as putting into main dealer who fixed it for one mowing only, I decided to bite the bullet and go for a new carb,now fitted runs fine.Verdict change fuel filter one a year and be careful about the fuel!!
