Best answers:

• Mr Libra says he thinks that the main jet in the carburettor may be blocked. Take carb. off, remove bowl from bottom of the carb(where the float is). There is a jet in the bottom of the carb, unscrew with screwdriver. When out, check that you can see through the jet. May be blocked, blow it out.
  Or try the sparking plug, is there a spark from HT lead?
  He is certain that the jet may be blocked though.
  Failing that, check machine is actually filled with unleaded petrol and not leaded.
  Good luck
• thanks for that he cleaned the spark plug and at one stage sparks were flying out the back so we thought wed better switch it off
  theyll just have to do a refund and give us it back when its fixed
  thanks again
• just out of curiosity Cathy what is a whacker plate ?? :-/
• Is it possible it runs on two stroke and not normal unleaded?
