I am working on a 3.5hp B&S engine with a 'Choke O Matic' carb and there is a problem with the adjustment jet housing. As in the picture below, the housing is plastic with a plastic inner 'sleeve' in which the metal screw sits. This inner sleeve has fallen out and I can see no way that it is...

Thanks for your replies. Yes, it is the curve that is going to cause the issue which is why I thought about DIYing it with some form of tough plastic. It is currently flush with the concrete floor so I don't think crushing will be an issue. My thoughts were to fix some sort of pins to the...

My Father in Law has a double sliding garage door which the door hangs on a large track above the door and the bottom of the door is guided around the corner by pins which run in a metal U channel set into the concrete floor. The bottom channel is very badly rusted and the pins get stuck in it...

Thanks John, I think you have just nailed it! I am just looking at part lists online as I have NO gasket between the air filter and the carb.

Hi, it is the one with the wrap around fuel tank and primer bulb on the front.

Hi, I have a spare B&S Quantum XTE 40 which I want to use for a project. The mower will not start from cold without me putting a drop of fuel in through the spark plug or air filter. Once the machine is running, it is sweet as a nut and will start again very easily once warm. I have stripped...

OK, thanks. I will give it a try.

Hi, I bought a second hand kitchen years ago and I have finally got around to fitting it. All of the wall units have adjustable fixings on them like this... ...apart from the corner unit which has no fixings, or any sign of previous fixing. The corner unit looks like this from the front...

Excellent, thanks. I have no idea who wired the thing up wrong but it is working now.

I have just moved to a flat with a Glowworm 30cxi and Drayton Combistat room thermostat. The CH doesn't seem to respond to the Combistat (constantly firing). The stat is currently two wired from the boiler's 'voltage free heating controls' to terminals 2 & 3 on the Combistat. I can't find...

Thanks for comments so far. I have carved out recesses for lights in local stone and I want to add the supplied photocells underneath the lights as showed (also recessed). The photocells are NICE MOFB / MOFOB class D detectors. Can anyone please advise if the proximity of the lights (5w...

Correct but how can you tell :shock: Blue skies :D

Thanks all - I already have the gate kit so I can't change it now. The kit comes with built in sensors etc for safety so I think I am ok on that front (fitting in France). The only question really was would using the lower position for the motors put additional strain on the gates. I think...

Hi, I want to fit the motor for the electric gates so that the arm operates on the lower of the three gate cross members as shown below. Does anyone know if there is any reason for this not to work just as well as the middle one which possibly would be the norm? Many thanks

Just something I read on here. I understand that the tamper light shows when in Engineering mode and the tenant seems to be using the default engineer code. Nothing more than that.

Hi, we rent out a flat with a TS400 in it and the tenants have contacted us with a problem. They are reporting a tamper light on and alarm sounding (I think internal only). They don't use the alarm but have told me they have typed in 1234 as a guess. I now know that this is the engineer's...

Bugger! Thanks, I think I expected that. I can't find a replacement drum anywhere online. Do you know where I can find one please so that I can work out if it is worth replacing or will I have to buy a new machine? Many thanks.

I hope someone can help me here please. The washing machine has been getting louder for a while so I ordered a new set of bearings and today opened it up to start the replacement. All of the video tutorials that I have seen show the two halves of the plastic drum being unscrewed and separated...

I have been trying all options and have had some success with cuttings and normal layering but there are no more branches low enough to reach the ground now.

Hi, I am trying to repopulate broken hedges with air-layered plants from my existing stock. I have followed the process using online guides but none really state with any certainty how long the process should take. I started on 24 Sep and after 5 weeks I have this... Something is obviously...
