Just replace the carburettor diaphragm, Obtain part number 795083 for a couple of quid fom any sensible Lawnmower agent and away you go!

Go to you tube and find out how to change it- its not difficult and will save you a repair bill of anything up to £40-£50

Don't forget the air filter may be blocked.

when was the last time you serviced this mower?if never then its time for a little TLC.drain engine oil ,replace the filters.take a trip to a mower, or garden center,most large garden centers sell ,stock mowers and someone there will be able to advise you on oil and service parts.
