Great video. Helped me solve the same starting problem exactly the same mower. Turned out to be some debris in the main jet. Very satisfying to poke it through with some fishing line and see the bit of debris. Running perfectly now. Thanks!
just doing up a balmoral 17s and a14s so going to service and do whats needed then sell good mowers that were a fortune to buy when new these both have key start good to see that you had the same with pull start recoil snapping happy days
Very often the fuel problem is nothing more than a stuck float, preventing sufficient fuel getting into the carburettor bowl. This controls the fuel flow from the tank and a wiggle or two on the float makes any other adjustments unnecessary.

“Just falls apart... like an OXO cube” made me laugh 😂 Perfect explanation 👍
Great vid, I just picked up a 17s yesterday 👌
Did you get the mower to work eventually
What is it about these old mowers, that has men drooling over them, and wishing they had a shed full of them. I'm addicted too. I need help!!
