Hi guys.

First post on here - hope someone can help me!

I have an old British lawnmower, which has been upgraded with a Honda GX140 4-stroke. (with electronic ignition / low oil pressure cut out)

Took it out of the garage yesterday. It started fine, then cut out after around 30 seconds or so. Note that starting was instant, and running was smooth until it cut out. Cut out was also clean, as if the ignition was being cut.

Any ideas ? - was working perfectly last time I used it.
