Thank you; very useful and will double check how I have fitted them.

"The diaphragms go against the machined alloy body of the carb, the gasket goes above that on the other plates or insulators (as they are called)." Now not sure what I have done but think I have the diaphragms either side of the metering body. Is that correct? But this vid () shows the...

My gx25 carb only has on jet and one metering lever. The metering lever has to be correctly set but it is quite a large range (1.18 - 1.50mm according to the blurb) However, I did find another Youtube vid, which although it did not provide any new info, it did jog my memory that I may have the...

I'm right there with you bro! Today, figured I would check the metering lever clearance as I found something on the web. Set it, primed the bulb and wow!!! Started on second pull. Brilliant; success. 30 seconds later, it stalled and will not start again. I'm now becoming and expert at...

My understanding is that the air intake has a start and run position. The start blocks the intake port with the exception of a very small hole. Once warmed up, the choke can be opened to the run position. The throttle is by default in the 'no hand on the lever position for starting and in...

Th choke has been closed when I have done a finger compression test and there is no throttle adjustment until the engine is warm and the tine ' engage' lever can be activated. Not too concerned as to whether the ultrasonic cleaner is ali friendly. It is a smallish device used for cleaning...

As I have an ultra-sonic cleaner, am considering dismantling the carb and giving it a blast of ultra-sonic vibration. But what would be a recommended liquid? White spirit? Petrol? uPVC cleaner?

Having a similar problem with a Honda GX25 tiller engine. Nothing I do will start it. Nothing left to check, then for no reason, it started, ran for around 30 seconds, stalled and will not start again. Ten mins later, started, ran for 20 seconds, stalled and will not start. Totally flummoxed...

No, the compression does not blow my finger off but I can feel something, just not as great as I would have thought. And I think I can stop the compression. Never used the throttle when starting; it would be difficult as it is just a lever on the top of the handle; right handed lever, right...

Thanks for your reply. This is not rocket science and i am determined to get it running myself rather than take it to an 'expert' who will do more o less, what I have done. Yes, bulb fills with fuel and when refurbing the carb, certainly was coming out the carb return port. There is...

What ho one and all, I have a well maintained Honda FG110 (mini tiller) with a GX25 engine. It has become increasingly difficult to start, but recently, it will not start at all. When it is running, it runs well. Since the carb is the most likely cause, I bought a carb repair kit and...

What ho one and all, I have just purchased a new washing machine which will be delivered and installed next week. As is the case now-days, it has only a cold fill; but the current machine has both cold and hot fill. Of the two isolator valves, the hot is easy to turn while the cold is so...

Tax deductible, agreed!

Thanks for the replies. Yes, the machine is probably around 10 years old but apparently was working. Then it refused to fill. The spin and drain were working and any program the power light illuminated. I did some internet research and found that is a common issue, and replacing the inlet...

What ho one and all, I am reluctantly renewing a Zanussi washing machine that is probably repairable but is likely to cost as much to find the problem as it is to replace. Doing an internet search, there are so many makes, models specs that I am totally confused as to the best direction /...

Thanks; very useful link. Perhaps the first stage will be to replace the inlet valves? Is there a way to test them? No water entering but I find it hard to believe that both hot and cold are faulty at the same time. Is there an on-board fuse somwhere

What ho one and all, Have a Zanussi FL1085 that will not start on virtually all programs. The red power 'on' light illuminates on all programs, the spin works, and the drain pump seems to fire up, but everything else, zilch. There is no water coming to the machine, so don't know if that...

Thanks for your reply. Don't think they were treated as they are neither green or brown, but they have been outside, (under cover) for so long now that any colour would have faded. Don't think I will build a trough but will give a couple of coats some kind of treatment. Have to change the...

What ho one and all, I am getting organised to replace number of wooden fence panels that have been there for around 20 years a well past their sell-by date. I have the panels which I will be giving a coat of Ducks Back before installing. Having cleared away most of the earth / leaves / moss...

This is kinda what I am concerned about regarding signing up to the Gigabit scheme. I have no idea what I am agreeing to. My house is a modern, very clean white rendered design; don't have a donw pipe at the front, only a rain chain. So I would not be happy to have a length of cable running...
