I have an old Qualcast Rotovator with this engine fitted but can't get it to run. It has a great spark but not getting fuel, took the carb apart and couldn't see anything wrong with it. I have never worked on this type of carb before so does anyone know if its prone to any problems? Although its an old machine, it only cost me £30 and has a plough and aerator attachments so might come in handy one day.

You will need to make sure the carb is clean. The pickup filter gets blocked, and the jets can block. The fuel pump diaphragm can fail too, so a carb overhaul may be required.

Before spending any time or money make sure it will run with some carb cleaner sprayed into the Venturi whilst pulling the rope.
