Fixit - Laser Lawnmower with Honda GCV135 Engine - Lumpy Idle Speed Repair

In this Fixit video we'll take a look at a Laser (by Mountfiled) 46cm Lawnmower, fitted with a Honda GCV135 engine and Keihin BB Carburettor, which would start ok but wouldn't run consistently - the idle speed was very lumpy and it was constantly hunting on the governor. There were several faults, some more severe than others: The fuel shut off tap had failed and the air filter was soaked in oily petrol so it didn't breath properly. The governor connecting rod anti-backlash spring was fitted incorrectly. The crank case breather pipe wasn't attached to the back of the air box. There was a broken gasket on the engine side of the carburettor, and the heat shield was fitted the wrong way round. In the video we'll work through the faults including a strip down of the carburettor (this probably wasn't needed on this particular occasion) and finally show the lawnmower back up and running.
