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

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 carb
I can't think of a reason why
-
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 winter because it was stored outside
-
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 since

Lovely day here
More tinkering with little Landy today, might get the body refitted :)
Grass needs cuttin and I'm letting the border run wild this year, some interesting stuff coming up 🤔
Stay alert all :D

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.

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 quite a while so maybe it'll get better with running.

I just measured the height and the wheel is 14 inches off the ground, rear of me van is 30 inches high so just about sit under it, :)

Bit of a tip here for you
When lying on yer back welding sheet steel to the underside of yer van don't do it wearing just a tee shirt 🤔
Had to use several plasters on me arms to cover the flesh wounds :oops:
