There is a small idling mixture screw on the side of the carburettor. As the engine is not well suited to the carb. it mainly runs on the idle setting! As long as you are not leaving the choke on. This is a little tab on the top of the carb. You start with it set on C then soon set it on the middle position, and after about 3 mins turn it off.
Hi, first of all I would check that the cutting cylinder is correctly adjusted, i,e, just kissing the bottom blade.dont forget to re-adjust the chain. next i would remove the four engine mounting bolts and slide the engine away from the clutch drum so that you can check if the clutch shoes are binding on the spindles, if the spindles are rusty centrifugal force will throw the shoes outward to engage the drum but the springs wont be able pull the shoes back.try wd40 on the pins while trying GENTLY to revolve the shoe round the pin, hope this helps
