Thanks. Can't seem to download that file. Keep saying it's not safe. Is it an image?

Hello everyone Something I never thought I would get involved in is the detail of firestopping. Am fitting a new roof myself as a competent tradesperson. Originally was connected to the neighbours house on one side as one single roof. The other neighbour has a seperate roof anyway, but...

I'll do a bit more digging. Off to get a new head gasket. Thanks so much for your help so far. What's the best thing to clean it all down with, and does anything need re-oiling or re-greasing?

I'll have to check when I reassemble it! Have really opened a hornets nest now. Took the cylinder head off. Definitely some damage to the gasket as you can see, and black soot forming at the top where it escapes. Everything looks super dry from the outside, but I can't see what's going on...

I think this is what you mean. I attached the wire to the top of the triangle of plastic which is the throttle shaft and held it to the left whilst starting, whereas normally it's tot he right. It made no difference and actually produced smoke. If you're talking abnout the governor arm, well...

Hey guys. Made another attempt at this, and am honing in on the problem but still not there. It now only start if I did 10-20 primes of the bulb. Wouldn't restart from warm unless I primed similar amount again. So I cleaned the entire carbuerettor and fuel tank, replaced the gasket & primer...

Thats' what I did in the end, but I can't believe you can't get a washer for these. The new design like hte one in the link seems to be the standard and uses a different design with a 38 or 40mm diameter thin washer, as opposed to a flat washer. It's probably a mute point now since they're all...

Hi guys. I always seem to run into this problem. I can never seem to get replacement seals for various plumbing parts, and because I'm not a plumber, I rarely carry spares of these things. Tried plumbers merchants but they didn't want to help. Jobsworth on the front desk. OD is about 44mm...

I would say about 800 - 1000mm

Was referred to a family run company in Canterbury rather than the shysters we employed before. Definitely seemed more on the ball, and went straight in there with a drain camera. First thing to note I had got the drain layout wrong. They said the manhole ran a straight line, under the...

I think I'll go for the extension idea. Great ideas anyway guys. Will definitely help me in future

That's perfect thanks

Hi guys I have a Hitron Chita router that came with virgin media. The power adapter is quite large and interferring with some furniture I have. Specifications of power adapter output: 12V, 3.5A = 42W Specifications of router: max 36W power consumption, which I would assume to mean 12V x 3A...

Hi all Our DAEWOO ERF-337MB Fridge Freezer is leaking a pool of water every day or few days. Collects on the floor right hand corner of the fridge. Obviously escaping through the freezer door. It doesn't seem to affect the function of the fridge or the freezer but would like to fix it...

Hi guys I have a soil pipe that won't stop leaking In the original photo you can see there were 2 cracks in the cast iron pipe. When the drain got blocked, the water nearly backed out out the 1st floor toilet, and leaked through these cracks. Previous person put an ill fitting flexible...

Hi everyone I previously built an apple press out of pallets as you can see in attached image. Worked for a while, but the cross beam eventually broke after being put under too much pressure from the screw press. I have managed to come across a load of oak 95 x 95mm x 600mm offcuts from a...

Hi all Client has asked me to lay a paved footpath through the middle of this gravel driveway so they can drag the bins to the road. There is weed membrane underneath the gravel. I'm guessing if we cleared the gravel, and laid mortar on the weed membrane it will eventually move. It needs to...

Sorry I took so long to reply. I was trying out a few things. In answer to your question I don't remember if I tipped it into its side so I could clean the grass out. What would that do? Oil level looks ok on the dipstick So I bought a service kit. Replaced the diaphragm and gasket (which...

Thanks guys. Should have posted this video of what it was doing before it stopped working. Not sure if this gives any more clues.

Hi I have a Makita PLM 4601 petrol mower with 4HP Briggs and Stratton engine Bought it secondhand but it was in very good condition and the guy said it had just been serviced Oil looked, and still looks clean and is full. It was working fine the first couple of goes infact, but now just...
