Hi Everyone,
Just thought I'd run this by you guys. I bought a second hand Honda HRC216 K1, which I knew was running rough when I bought it. I have cleaned the carb, replaced the air filter, spark plug and oil, and it runs great for about 5 minutes. Then it starts surging and backfiring through the muffler, (after firing I guess to be correct).
It only happens after it gets hot, so maybe a coil pack? I am running Unleaded 91. I don't know if it is related, but once the motor starts to play up, the blades will not engage. While its cold, the blades cut quite happily.
Any advice appreciated!
