susie Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi yadoes anyone know of a lawnmower repairer near Valencay, who will repair what we think is a problem with the choke in less than 2 weeks to 2 months as we were told today. It is a Briggs and Stratton bought in B and Q. We think it might be quicker to buy another and have this one repaired as a spare. The grass will not wait weeks.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susie Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 hi yaim not very technical but it seems to have broken loose and goes on and off as it chugs along slowly. The engine is revving and dying, if that makes any sence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Could be a small as tightening it back up, B&S are pretty robust and spares are easy to source so have someone fix it and save the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 hello, I was just wondering if there was someone who done repairs without having to send it away. If you can recommend someone, that would be great.thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 thanks teapotwe have tried to fiddle with it but it is very loose. It is as you say, probably just a small thing.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hi yajust to let anyone know who maybe interested for themselves, that I found a man in Nouans les Fontaines who replaced what turned out to be a broken gasket, sharpened the blades and generally looked it over and cleaned carburettor. Charged us 44 euros and gave us a 1 year guarantee. Very happy with his workSusie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
