Well an update, after checking map pipe as advised ,I changed the fuel and air filters this morning. What a difference! So I guess that going back to basics, the way I was taught, is always the starting point.

Good to hear. Was down in the garage Sat working on lawn tractor, grass is taking over. Needs a new starter bendix so am throwing a ring gear on it as well. Just got to wait for them to arrive then will fit them and some new blades and off we jolly well go.

Will they not sharpen up? Most mower blades will come up sharper with a flap disc than they come new.
The old ones are bent and dull. I will fit new (sharpened) and remove old ones and see if they can be saved. If so straighten sharpen and balance as spares.

They will warp and crack in the end but sharp ones saves belts no end and grass is growing quick early this year
Yep i know. Repairing the lawn tractor is not a difficult job, i do understand that sharp cuts better than dull.

Following your adventure I realised I’ve overlooked the basics and invested in a new filter. Local MF gave it to me £6.30 seems pretty good quality compared to some I’ve seen, presuming it fits - looks same

Yes play it safe.
If your not used to it and snap an old connector, well that’s the sort of thing that happens in my world
