Quick update...  I was away at work for a few days so unable to do anything.  

 

Back now though and did as above.  No oil came out of the SP hole when pulling with it removed. And no smoke at all when I fired it up to use. So all's good.  Got about 45 minutes mowing in before it started raining heavy. It's quite heavy on the more awkward bits, but manageable and a helluva lot quicker than strimming! Look forward to continuing on the next dry day.

 

Thanks again for all the help. I'll no doubt have some follow up mower questions at some point but will save them for a new thread.

 

Cheers

Glad it worked out bud . Please don't ask us to stop it raining . 😀
