Hi All !

I got it running ! 

My problem was two-fold :
1)Over-rich mixture and 2)method of tightening the starter assembly.
First one was caused by me fiddling whilst wiping down the engine, the other cause was ignorance.
You can tighten the flywheel without the special tool, but i would recommend that you use it !

My method :
Remove the pulley/belt guard on LHS of engine. Lock off the output shaft with a chain wrench (as I did) or molegrips so it rests under the guard stay.
Fit flywheel, insert key, put washer on, then starter assembly to hand tightness.
Using the special tool ( I used water pump pliers to grip the starter assembly as my tool isnt finshed yet ) tighten the assembly to specified torque ( or a good solid tightness if using my method ).
Reassemble flywheel side of engine.
Fill up fuel tank, pull out choke, move throttle to 'full'.
Start her up, and quickly adjust the mixture screw to give an even speed (i used my ears).
Let it get to fully hot and adjust mixture again if neccessary.
Throttle back to idle and adjust mixture to give an even speed.
Recheck full speed again for eveness, adjusting mixture minutely if needed.
Thats it , done


Thanks to all of you who contributed,

Well done for perservearing,Just one obsevatiion re the full speed setting,it should be set to the rich side of even running with no load on .that way when the rotavator is under load the mixture will be right
