    Fitting a stove in a workshop

    The workshop is actually our old garage and it has a concrete floor, I'll probably put the stove on a concrete flag 600mm x 600mm Twinwall it is then, wow the components are pricey aren't they! He got the stove off Facebook so no idea if it draws it's combustion air from outside, the workshop...

    Fitting a stove in a workshop

    Hello, My son bought a stove for our workshop but it's just a stove with no pipe or anything else, looking for advice on the fitting side of things please. I have worked out pretty much almost all of what I need in terms of pipe but need to know if I need joining bands or cement, dampers or...

    Lawn mower not running properly

    Okay thanks, I'll just mow the lawn until the petrol runs out then, probably easier for me that way. So I am taking the carb off then? doesn't look as straight forward as the one on my hedge trimmer.

    Lawn mower not running properly

    Hello, Our lawn mower hasn't been running very well so I decided to see if there's anything I could do. I just took off the filter cover and found this: I assume it's the carburettor as I recently cleaned a carb on a hedge trimmer, I will give it a clean up but is there anything else I...

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    Thanks, I am please we got there and it only cost me £10.45 and I still have pipe, filter and a spare bulb so well worth the effort, also I learned a fair bit so chuffed about that too. What oil do you recommend for the blades?

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    Couldn't adjust while running as it kept cutting out, turned H screw a quarter turn a few times both ways and no change, turned L screw a quarter turn anticlockwise just once and result, it is running pretty good and blades seem great.

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    Changed the fuel pipes around after watching a youtube video and it pumps correctly now so I did have them the wrong way round. Started the machine and it was great for about 30 seconds, blades were running fast and freely and engine revving well then it died again, now it's doing the same. So...

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    Just fitted the new primer bulb and also the new air filter, tried the bulb a couple of times and noticed fuel dripping, it's coming from the shorter pipe were it enters the tank. The pipe is not quite thick enough it seems. Anyway I thought I'd give the machine a go to see if it runs okay so I...

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    Thanks I saw that repair kit on eBay and decide that as it looks quite an in depth procedure to dismantle the whole carb then it might just be worth spending a couple of quid on a bulb as it seems to be a case of four screws off and back on, just need the right size. Will take a measurement...

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    Just checked the manual online and yes it's as you say, I was doing it the wrong way round, such an idiot haha Well at least it still started which is good news, will order the foam for the air filter now and try the machine again in a bit, Cheers

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    Just tried it and got it going but as soon as I closed the choke it cut out, with choke open I was able to pull the trigger and get the blades moving so at least I know it's not ceased as I haven't used it for about 3 or 4 years. Any ideas why it would cut out when closing the choke?

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    I assume I should still put the filter casing back on though even without the foam?

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    Thanks, so in that case I might as well not buy the foam yet and try to get the machine going first?

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    The fuel pipe has arrived, I got it from Temu eventually. Now I just need to get a replacement filter but am a little confused as to what exactly I need, is it an air filter or a fuel filter? Or both? I have looked online and found this and this but would like some advise on whether they are...

    Makita hedge trimmer not pumping fuel

    The foam filter has fallen apart so I'll need to get some from somewhere. The pacman tool was for my Titan multitool but I bought a set so I do have the D type tool in the set, will give them a bit of WD40. Do you think I need to replace the carb?
