Any idea how to tune a lawnmower engine??

We have a Honda petrol mower and each year we pay about £150 for the garden centre to tune it up. Seems like a relatively small job, does anyone have any experience of doing this themselves??

Ta in advance

Isn't there a screw that you adjust until it sounds like it's singing type of thing
