Wow. I know there are frequent debates on here about what's suitable for a DIYer and what's not, but that link makes it absolutely clear why terminating pyro isn't a job for the amateur. Perhaps if there were similar quality links for some of the other tasks that DIYers enquire about it may be...

Wow - just read through all seven pages. I have to say a big well done to the contributors who stuck with it. No clue where the nebulous 3-day electrician fits into this saga of explanation-via-tooth-pulling, though....

Words fail me (click pic to see punchline)...

What a lot of tosh. I was particularly impressed with this factoid, presumably explaining why they can't explain how it works*; "Jack Bybee’s Quantum Purifiers were originally developed for military applications, many of which are still highly classified"

Really? I thought extending a circuit (which could be as "simple" as adding a socket) was exempt? Doesn't the requirement for a mwc contradict all those who claim that the floodgates have been opened following the relaxation of Part P? Edit: I believe it's different in Scotland and that a mwc...

Nope (cos it won't be fused) but you can use a Switched (or Unswitched) Fused Flex Spur. https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=switched%20fused%20spur%20flex%20outlet

Tragically, this very event happened just outside Edinburgh, on Wednesday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-33007610 A tipper truck drove into a 11KV line. As the news report (which may not be accurate) states; I sincerely hope that businesses learn from this...

I have to say that I'm completely with Westie on this one. We have indeed all toyed with things that perhaps we shouldn't have, but this is definitely a step too far - the risk to life and property far exceeds what is typically discussed on this forum.

Cheers John - I'll give it a strip and attack it with my air gun :)

The carburetor looks similar but there are a number of differences with the rest of the diagram. The air filter is a horizontal, whereas the diagram's seems to be vertical. The top of the engine and exhaust seem different, too. The mower is an Etesia 46 Pro with a Suzuki engine, if that...

A picture (either drawn or, preferably, a photo) of the wiring in the rose would be very helpful

OK - new video with the air filter off, and same behaviour (if a little louder). I'm not blipping the throttle - that's the mower itself going up and down the revs. I turned it down around 27 seconds in and back up again at 37 seconds. Apologies for the on-the-side vid, but the audio...

Cheers. Don't suppose you know the model of the Suzuki engine in these things, do you?

Funnily enough, I pulled the filter off and it immediately stalled! I didn't restart it without the filter, but I'll certainly give that a try. I suspect you're right about the oil and that I've been over-feeding it. I'll brim the tank and give the old girl a bit of a slosh around :D Cheers

Hi folks my decidedly 2nd hand Etesia hasn't run for a year or so, so I gave it a clean up at the weekend; poured the old petrol and 2-stroke out (it was quite "gummy"), cleaned the air filter and replaced the spark plug. The old plug (which has probably only seen ~six hours of use) was...

+1 I got a "Security Shed" from tiger middle of last year and it's an awesome bit of kit. Excellent service and very fast delivery, too.

Most importantly, it also needs to be tested, signed off and approved for building control. So your only realistic option is to bring in an electrician. Slightly bemused that your builder doesn't have an electrician he can bring in?
