Ive removed bar & chain then clip / clutch drum etc & see there is a cut out notch in the clutch drum. The spring leg needs to locate in that cut out notch. Then when engine is running & clutch drum spinning the spring leg also spins thus operating the oil pump.

I assume that is what the part is called ? See attached photos. I’ve fitted a new cylinder block/ piston assembly to my MS170 After I finished crying as the new item had 5mm threads & wasn’t the same as my original I then need to ask this question. I removed the clutch & then behind was a...

DG was to expensive & property up for sale. Im now painnting the frame

My kitchen has a conservatory attached. Between the two the window in the kitchen was removed years ago but now I wish to put something back. The opening is say 5ft x 3 1/2ft but the window will only be about 1meter square & the other part will be a few shelves. I’ve made a 3 x 2 frame then...

Running fine

Done. I cut away a little of the plastic that the brass jet passes through. Managed to get a hole through it & see daylight. Put it back into the black part & touched edges with soldering iron & made a good contact with black plastic & brass part. Short video...

It’s well blocked. I’ve removed it from the plastic part as had no choice. Any reason why I can’t leave it out & just refit the black plastic part ?

Wont budge. My needle jet cleaner will go in so far & thats it. So not sure if its same size hole all the way through or tapered. Compressed air does nothing

OK ive removed that plastic part & the small hole is blocked At the bottom is a brass part, i assume that needs to be clear

So remove & clean item by blue arrow

So going by reply above the dripping fuel from below carb / air filter was due to me pushing primer bulb numerous times thinking it was squirting fuel in. So now I take onboard it’s just a squirt of air I press it once or twice & go to start mower. Today the gasket arrived & I’ve now fitted...

Carb & main jet & emulsion tube has been apart & cleaned. I am them pumping too many times hence the fuel on the deck. I will order a carb gasket.

Ive been out & deck is dry. Ive pumped the primer say 10 times & now i see deck below air filter housing is wet with fuel

Ive been cutting grass for a few years now & all my neighbours think im a mower man repair guy hence why ive been given another mower to look at. This time its a Mountfield SP454 & overall its in very good shape / condition. Lady told me it just died & wouldnt start again then left in a dry...

Ah ok cheers. Sometimes when operating i do hear say AIR being blown back into the tank. I expected to here a gurling noise BUT i dont, i hear air when bulb is empty. This would then explain why the primer takes 3/4 tries & becoming empty

Sometimes when pressing the primer bulb i dont see any fuel, i mean i could press it 3/4 times & nothing. After a while i do see fuel but it seems to be a different situation from my other petrol tools that i use. So do you think its the rubber flap under the primer bulb at fault.

Primer bulb is empty thus blower not starting. There are no splits in the bulb & fuels lines are intact & not split etc. I sprayed carb cleaner directly into the air filter & after a few pulls got it started. I was able to pump the primer & could now see fuel in it. Switched it off & am I...

Job done & fits a treat

Whilst cutting the grass the lower handle snapped one side, common issue as it the first time with Mountfield Mowers. Using that well known selling / buying site i purchased a lower handle from G H S Today the handle arrived BUT its about 4 inches to long & just looking i can see that it wont...
