I've had a couple of 156s so similar era, the JTDM engine was well regarded on the forums, I'd say as reliable as it's contemporaries from BMW and the like.
 
Tried the carbon cleaner on the mower today. Sprayed some into the air intake and started the mower. It started and ran fine until I tried it at different rpm. It ran fine going from high to low RPM but upon trying to climb back to high RPM it stalled. It then wouldn't restart and ran lumpy again. After a couple attempts I got it running smoothly again so sprayed some cleaner in 3 more times while it was running. Each time it spluttered a little and kicked out a small puff of black smoke. It now seems to run perfectly, tried it across all RPM and seems good and tried it under load by cutting some grass and it didn't stall. So fingers crossed its alright. 🤞
