landowner's latest activity

Now my Honda mower starts on brake cleaner then runs for 10 to 20 seconds then stops Had the carb off a month ago and cleaned it all out and it was starting fine FFS

My old Disco 2 was 4.something ltrs and used a lot of oil It was on 120k or so and I changed to 20/50 which saw a drop in oil consumption

I've had my '87 3.5efi auto for nearly 16 years. A good 20w/50 mineral oil with high ZDDP content changed every year or 3k miles. These engines, the design of which can be traced back to the 'sixties, were never designed for 'slippery' oil...

Lovely day for it, (mates bulkhead) soon be fitted

W staying in bed as she is suffering after having eaten a full meal yessdi. Only ever does this when we go out and eat and even then.:( As the weather is great I am off out to prepare the chicken run i.e. get rid of the huge weeds as best I can...

Morning All. :D Nice day again. :) Have a good one. :D

I try and remember to start my engines periodically so they're not left standing too long. Particularly for things that are not used for several months at a time like the chainsaw. The two strokes usually take a bit of getting going. The JCB with...

Tom's coming along nicely but still not warm enough to put out

Harry oft harrys garage brims all his classic cars wiv fool. Ses it means minimal surface for air to het to so the fool dun't go oft.

Moved me sunflowers and tomatoes from tray to pots yesdi. Sun flowers are growing strong. Tomatoes less so as sun flower leaves were blocking their light. One is small and poorly. We is worried ferrit.

Been warm and dry today. Went for a "big shop" and the shops we needed were all open, at least in the morning. Had lunch outside :eek::eek::eek: for the first time this year at our usual brasserie. I had "moules roquefort" which I have never...

There is a I believe a school of thought that says fill the tank to the brim and leave it like that. All I know is that ever since I bought most of this machinery in about 2010 it has worked well on start up after following the "empty it out and...

.. the the blood test came back and they can't measure my lipids properly because my Triglycerides are too high (it messes up the analysis). But the total Lipids are 8.5 and the TG are 4.7 so the other two jokers are 3.8 between them (ratio...

1 year seed 9 year weed

I just fired up my 12.5 hp Kohlar engine after more than 3 years There was a little old fuel in the float bowl which I tipped away. The motor fired almost straight away and ran beautifully So the fuel didn't turn to varnish and it didn't harm the...

Which is why I posted up thread : "So the two stroke has a spark. so I ordered a noo carb." Only trouble is, if you want it quickly you have to pay silly money like €70 for one. I read an interesting fing ont tinternet saying that even if you...

Ran it out of fuel on last switch off so carb was empty and it was stripped and cleaned 🤔 I leave the fuel in my lawn mower over winter and it starts no problem every spring Don't know what the problems are, maybe insects crawling in for the...

Old fuel can sit in a carb over winter and turn to varnish like gunge, if it doesn't block a gallery it may restrict it enough to be a pain, carb cleaner needs to be soaked for a while I reckon and then followed with a blast of air ...

I bought a brand new ((old stock) briggs and stratton engine cheap It ran perfect, I parked it for the winter and come spring it would rev but wouldn't tick over Tried everything, eventually bough cheap carb off internet and it's run perfect ever...

Ah ok yer they sound awful when fired up.

Should have clarified Pushrod engine with hydraulic lifters, engine stripdown to get at them 😟 They'll free up with an engine run I think, only ran it for 30 secs or less.

My father passed away today. He will be missed. Hope you are all well.

Would you believe it ?? Trying to set tappets on my little landy Kohlar engine only to find that they are hydraulic lifters 🤔 I'll have to flush the engine and put fresh oil in to see if that solves the noisey tappet problem, it's been stood...
