Thanks very much Paul. After watching your video I had the confidence to service my Mountfield for the first time - fully stripping the carb as you showed. There was lots of debris and rust in the bottom of the carb, by the drain hole ,which I cleared out. It now runs better than it has done for a very long time. Before the service is was running but stuttering, backfiring now and then and losing power on longer grass. I was planning to buy a new lawn mower as our local service company wouldn’t service it as it is too old - now it’s likely I will get another 10 years out of it with my new skills! Thanks again, I am very grateful.

Brilliant tutorial and gave me the confidence to tackle my Champion V40. Didn’t have carb cleaner but did have brake cleaner and that seemed to do the job OK. Checked the jet with a watchmaker’s eyeglass and holding up to the light. The O ring around the bowl was quite crusty and next time I’d try and buy one in advance. However, cleaned the seal up gently with warm soapy water. In the video there was a black wire getting in the way, mine wasn’t a problem as the associated green/yellow wire was hooked around it. Crude but sort of works. After removing the air filter I wound it a help to slip the two bolts back in to hold the carb in place while I wrestled with the fuel pipe and avoided any strain on the springs. In addition to the only tool being a 10mm socket, a suitably sized screwdriver for the jet is important too. Too narrow and the brass will be damaged, too wide and it will bind on the thread in the body, it was also a lot tighter than I expected so some force needed. Taking photos before and during is a great idea too. My mower started with first pull and ran as good as new. In all, full of very practical advice, good quality video and no music track! Many thanks.

Hi Paul, I was given a self drive version of the same Champion mower because of carb issues. The owner found it very difficult to start and when it did it would only run for about 30 seconds then cut out. I did the carb service in a very similar way to you + soaked the parts in carb cleaner overnight. I found poking out the side holes in the main jet with unwound electrical wire worked well. The copper is soft so does not damage the holes. An electrical flat blade screwdriver works best for getting the jet out as they are the same width all the way down. After putting it back together with a new plug it worked fine for a couple of weeks but blocked again. The first signs seem to be that it will only run with the choke on. Went through the same procedure again and again after a couple of cuts it started blocking again. This time I flushed the tank, added a new fuel line and fitted an in-line petrol filter to it. It was only a couple of pounds from a moped spares shop on eBay. It has now worked perfectly for over a year without any signs of blocking. I would also add that you need to be very careful about overtightening or reusing the spark plugs on this mower. I stripped the thread on the head and had to replace it. The metal on the head thread is softer than the plug and it is very easy to do if you are re-using the spark plug. I now always use new plugs as you can feel the compression washer getting squashed as you tighten it. For your reference my mower has an extra top cover compared to yours. I will try to add a picture. I would be interested in any thoughts you have regarding storing a petrol mower for winter? E.g. in a shed? Should you empty the petrol? Should you run it every three or four weeks? Many thanks for the videos and hard work you are putting into your channel

Fantastic tutorial and proved invaluable for me. I did unfortunately have the linkage detach from the arm with the long slit, and boy did I struggle trying to get it back. I had to undo the nut and bolt on the mechanism to get the arm to tilt enough. I found a washer, does this washer sit below the two arms? Sit in between the arms? Or sit on top of the arms? I couldn’t figure out where it originally came from. Thank you for your time 👍🏻

Hi Paul. I am servicing one of these engines at the moment. I checked your video to see if there should be and gaskets on either side of the carb. I have the rubber ring which is fine but mine has a torn gasket on the engine side of the carb but it doesn't look right as it appears to cover some of the holes. Should there be any gaskets either engine side of the card or at the joint to the air filter? Thanks again your video's have given me a new hobby in retirement. Really enjoying servicing mowers and making a little bit of pocket money.

I can't Identify the manufacturer or the engine, so I can't buy spares. It's been a great, strong work horse until this year. I've serviced to mower every year, (oil filters etc.) Have you any experience of this mower or engine? Any help you can offer would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance. Stuart

I bought a second hand Mountfield RV40 150. It was chugging a bit then started leaking at the air filter. I removed the plastic casing & noticed the rubber seal had slipped off so suspect that's the source of the leak. I cleaned as much as I could without taking it all apart but its still not firing. Going to clean up or replace the spark plug but not sure what to do if that doesn't work?

Hi Sian. When you say leaking, was it leaking oil or fuel from the air filter?. Your carburetor probably needs a good clean. Always avoid tipping the lawn mower on its side as oil and fuel can enter the carb. Have you tried starting the mower with the air filter removed?.

Hi there. Thanks for your video. I repaired a Sovereign xsz40 with a SV150 engine. This has a priming bulb fitted which connects to the carb via a small rubber hose. My question is, where can you buy this type of carb from?. This carb does not have a black throttle linkage like the ones on Ebay. I recently repaired a Challenge Xtreme mower with a SV150 engine but this carb had the throttle linkage on. There was no priming bulb either. I hope you can help. Cheers.

Not all SV150 engines have a throttle on. If your mountfield is an xsz40, it does not need a throttle as the engine runs at a set speed. Does your mower look like the one in the video?. If yes it doesn't need a throttle. Just insure that the springs on the carb are fine and not stretched. Does your mower have a priming bulb?.

I just followed your tutorial and mounting it back I ran into a fuel leak from the hole on the side where the carburetor mounts on to the motor. There is a tiny hole in the groove around the hole where the air/fuel mix enters the engine. Fuel leaks out and follows the groove which has an opening down by the cup. What could be wrong? I have checked and double checked everything and I can't find anything wrong. That hole is connected to the hole underneath the cup on the side from where the brass rod goes in.

Excellent video. I have a Mountfield with same looking engine. It only starts 1 out of 20 times and dies out after a few seconds. Would this be a carburetor issue? Thanks.

rob fraser Just make sure the magnets are clean. Good luck. Try and get briggs engines to start on as it's a little easier. Nice to see someone having a go though!

Not all Sv150 engines have them. There are 2 types of carbs that are fitted to this engine. The mower in this video has a priming bulb fitted and no throttle cable. The mower runs at a set speed. The throttle version of this engine does not have a priming bulb fitted but relies on a choke and idle to start the engine. Do you have a Mountfield XSZ40?.

I have a similar problem, please do let us know if you find the cause. It seems like the governor springs aren't strong enough to keep the throttle steady; if I hold the throttle arm solidly in place the engine ticks over smoothly.
