My 2011 Mountfield SP414 100CC 2.6 Horse Power Self Propelled lawn mower struggles to start when warm.
Let me explain:
When I take it out of the shed, I simply give it three pushes of the priming bulb, pull the starter cord, and she fires right up on the very first pull - Great.
But, after I've mowed the back lawn, I shut it off and move to the front, and when I go to start it again, it takes about 4-5 pulls to get her to fire up, and when she does she puffs a little bit of black smoke, not much though.
Oh, and if I give it one push of the priming bulb before trying, it will fire up on the first pull, but puff out more black smoke.
Maybe this is normal, perhaps it is even something to do with the fact it only has a few hours on it, but I just want to check!
Thanks in advance,
