My minor starts but doesn't keep running is it the points needs cleaning or could it be something else?

If it starts - then stops - look to fuel supply problem! Is the fuel pump ticking ?

Exactly the problem I had the other week, I opted for a replacement fuel pump (will get new brushes for the old one and keep as a spare). Works fine now.

Hi
cleaned all the points&valves&filters also cleaned all the plugs still turning over but not starting does this mean new points?

I've already told you it's likely to be fuel! Why are you so fixated on 'points'?????????

Dead right it is mate! I've cleaned the fire out - and emptied the ashpan. Maybe the tubes are blocked ? Or - maybe it's the POINTS that are against it!!

No! Definitely a FUEL problem, don't you get fixated on points as well!
