Thanks - will see if I can get it started tomorrow.

Hi, Some pics below. I found another video online and this helped. I am hoping I have refitted all linkages correctly but would be good if you could confirm this. One thing that now seems strange is that for the most part a change on the throttle (from low to high) doesn’t seem to result in any...

Hi, thanks. Had already found that YouTube video but I need to know how they connect to the mower and it’s not very clear on that. I have the one, which has the very thin wire with it, all connected. It’s the thicker linkage, which has a sort of looped section at the end that connects to the...

Hi, I’ve got a Hayter 13/30 lawn tractor and I need a picture of the how the linkages connect to the mower from the carburettor. Can anyone provide a picture of this? It’s got a Briggs Stratton I/C 13Hp engine. Cheers.

Thanks Nige F. So, given your comment I assume it is ok to start knocking through this? No asbestos or anything else like that we should worry about?

No, not tried punching it but it will be being removed, probably by a large hammer, shortly. I assume from the comments that we shouldn't be concerned about that - based on the type of material it is?

Any ideas?

Ok, thanks. Have attached another picture which might make it easier to identify.

Hi, we are about to do some work on our fireplace but before we do I am trying to identify the material that's been used for the top/roof of the fireplace (around the flue). I have attached a picture in case anyone can tell us what this might be?

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I think it has the WYJ carburetor in the link posted by litl. This suggests it does have an adjustable idle needle etc. Where would I find these? I guess this could be the problem??? As for running it with the choke on, that doesn't work either because as soon as...

I have an Einhell petrol strimmer which stalls on throttle or even when idling if you move the choke far from the fully on/open position. I have run with new fuel, checked air filter, changed spark plug, checked the fuel tank breather and cleaned the carburetor (although I have not adjusted the...

It's hard tell what's genuine advice here and what is sarcasm! To be honest, I prefer the responses that were clearly one or the other as, at least, they either suggested what to to do or implied I being an idiot about it. I probably am but if you Google it then it's easy to end up concerned!

Ok, thanks. Sounds like it's nothing to worry about then. The only reason I potentially couldn't clear it up before the weekend was because I may not be back there again until then - due to work.

Ok, thanks. How much of a problem would it be if I was unable to do that until the weekend? It's not a busy road but I guess it will get more broken up over the next few days. It's just that I may not get a chance to sweep it up immediately due to work. How much of a problem is it? I guess I...

Hi, We've noticed a small amount of broken material on the road outside our house which someone suggested might be asbestos cement board. It does look consistent with that but there are only a few small increasingly broken (I assume as cars drive over them) pieces - no more than a beer mats...

We have a relatively new kitchen mixer tap and the cold tap runs (slightly) in the off position. However, when you move the tap forward slightly (to the just open position) the running water stops. I have tried repositioning the tap head but this simply moves the problem but it is essentially...

There is a separate choke control at the side of the engine. You pull it out and it then (generally) returns to the normal position itself. I think the issue is definitely in this area e.g. choke/governor not working correctly in some way. Will post some pics of this when I get a chance but I...

I don't think the linkages were bent at all when I removed the carb. However, that assumes they are the two relatively thick wires connected to the carb. There was also a third thin wire which runs alongside one of the thicker wires. This probably was put a bit out of shape by removing and...

Thanks - will check. Also, when cutting long grass would you expect the mower to struggle and chuck out more smoke? I have found it almost runs and cuts better when it is not set to full throttle. Occasionally, it also seems like the throttle setting makes no difference and the revs start to go...

Hi, Still struggling with this issue. Mower now starts reasonably reliably but is definitely running too rich. It throws out a lot of smoke (often black) and seems to burn a lot of fuel. I have tried adjusting the carburettor fuel and idle speed pins but they don't seem to have made much (if...
