Thanks for the help! Unfortunately I've put it all back together and the mower is no better off.

I've labelled this picture to try and make things easier. I'm quite confident I've got everything as clean as possible but could do with some clarification on how to position all the parts I've labelled. Thanks! 1) idle screw? 2) is this the pilot jet that needs 1.25 anti-clockwise turns from...

Here's some pics

Thanks for the help I'm going to remove the carb right now and get some photos up!

Hi all I've got a Challenge Xtreme lawnmower with a Chinese SV150 engine. It starts well but hunts/surges really noticibly. I have stripped the carburetor down and cleaned it thoroughly with carb cleaner but no difference. I have tried new fuel which didn't change anything either. The engine...

yeah that's a good point. I had wondered if there's a 'go to' type of outside door that people opt for but looks like I'll be choosing a gate and making it as weatherproof and secure as I can! Thanks for the input

I had planned to install a door not for extra security but I guess a robust gate would be fine. Why do you advise against a door out of interest?

Sorry I mean a door frame too. Any recommendations?

My bricky is building a block wall at the side of my house, leaving a reveal for a door... Replacing and old nackered fence and gate. Can anyone recommend a suitable door lining and door for use outside? Thanks.

I'm having a block wall built at the side of my house for security (there's currently just a waist high fence and gate. I am planning on having a lintel put in so I can fit a lockable door. Can anyone recommend what kind of door lining and door works well for this?

Hi Ive just had a gas fire installed and a chimney breast built and boarded with pink fire rated boards. Ive heard many horror stories of cracking due to heat. Ive got a plasterer coming tomorrow to skim another wall in the room and wanted some advice from you guys about how you would prevent...

Hi, I'm trying to move the soil pipe position closer to the wall as it is currently 36cm to centre of pipe opening. I've managed to jackhammer a decent hole through the slab around the pipe now here's where I'd really appreciate some help. The existing pipe is a 100mm diameter...

It's kind of like how there's an AA app for when you breakdown.

No I just wanted feedback from both electricians and plumbers. It's all well and good choosing a recommended trade but this app is intended for EXACTLY as you described, emergencies and things that cannot wait

All fair comments. Do you think the app could be used within normal business hours (and perhaps weekends) just to show you're available to be contacted? I.e you might currently not be flat out and unable to take on more work. Then when you're swamped you can switch it off. I'm aware it's...

Wow, why such reluctance? Who sorts stuff out when people have electrical faults in the evening then?

I'm in the process of developing an app whereby tradesmen like yourselves could click a button any time (perhaps after work at 4-5pm) which makes them 'available' for a call out. The idea is that there aren't any hefty call out fees but you can specify a call out area (say within 10miles from...

Oh apologies, It's free!

Yeah I can understand people's reluctance to want to work on all night and that's fine! Also the point about people undercutting price but that's really missing the point. As one poster described if you've got a day that ends at 3pm and wouldn't mind being the local plumber that would respond to...

The app works in two ways: 1) As a resource for home owners to find nearby tradesmen willing to take on work outside of regular working hours. 2) Provide work for trades who are wanting/willing to tend to calls in the evening. It doesn't serve as a replacement for your normal daily work...
