From yesterday, I removed the carburetor which is a simple enough job, once you have the bonnet up out of the way
here are the tools required to remove the carburetor (if it hasn't been modified by a prev/owner)
then to dismantle it a good blade screwdriver is needed and if your like me the good book close by to refer to as required, I didn't change too many things inside the carburetor as the numbers on the parts did not match what I was going to remove, so all put aside until I can talk to either Murray R (Modern mtrs) or some-one just as knowledgeable, a mad scramble late in the afternoon (storm front dumped 8mm rain) so it was re-assembled in the shed and re-fitted this morning.
Here is a short clip of the engine running before I adjusted the idle screw
