I have a very expensive, supposedly professional honda mower, last weekend got it out the shed, started it then decided to remove the solar lights spikes from the lawn before mowing, removed 2 mower stalled, would it restart? No. Left it in case it had flooded and tried again couple of hours later, nothing.
Sunday, dismantled and cleaned through, removed and replaced fuel, removed and cleaned spark plug, removed and cleaned air filter. Would it start? No
This Saturday tried again, nada, removed and replaced carburettor and gaskets. Started! Hurrah then stalled.
Tried again Sunday naff all. I cannot take it to the meanders as it weighs 37kg (whatever that is in real money) and I can't lift it, nobody will pick it up as it is not a drive on.

Can't help with fixing,presumably the warranty has expired?
Have you tried phoning Honda direct , they have presumably a network of retailers ,one of whom may take pity and collect ,or do a fix on site,or a mobile car mechanic could ?

Tried that, pity doesn't exist, they just tell me to bring it in

I think you may need a car mechanic rather than a gardener.

Nope as it's not a ride on they will not come out and I can't lift nearly 80lbs worth of mower into the car,

I've got these little buggers on one of my forget-me-nots. It's now nearly dead. But there was loads of ants with them? So I thought it was some sort of nest. Will they move on to other plants?

The vine weevil grubs over-winter in the soil ,they are usually more troublesome in pots with a ready food supply
Ants just go where the mood takes them.
