Thanks Steve.
Had a close listen and I'm fairly certain it's at the muffler. This is leaking as it looks like the muffler was damaged at some point and the adaptor flange isn't flush. This fits with your description.
Ordered a new muffler and adaptor the other day.
The spark plug was also the wrong one but changing to the right one didn't stop the pops.
Put some cleaner in the fuel too, just in case.
One other thing I found which doesn't look right, was the rear transmission to engine belt. This is so out of alignment the belt had half flipped over on itself: had been rotating half upside down.
Unless the engine should have mounts to lift it up, (there arent any and nothing in the manual) I cant see how this is a workable design, is this how they are supposed to be seated?
I can see with the top belt to the deck would have to be at an angle due to the raising and lowering of the deck (it is left quite loose) but the transmission belt doesn't look right to me.
