Hi Stivino, Certainly more than I have seen. My observations are limited to the engine plastic cover.:mad::mad::mad:

All of my local garages stock nothing but E10.

Would it be possible that the flywheel is held to the crankshaft utilising a grub screw of some description? Shearing a Woodruff key would need an awful lot of energy of sledge hammer proportions. With respect to 'Popping the flywheel' off sounds like a major undertaking for a Mechanical Numpty...

The fact that the machine was running OK for half an hour before the loss of power and subsequent stop eliminates fuel and wet plugs etc I think, would you agree, Also a New plug did not enable starting,. Because of the Back firing whilst pulling my arms out by the sockets leads me to the albeit...

Yes, New Fresh Fuel is in the machine, the supplier has suggested I had old fuel in the machine and apparently they maintain the E10 fuel is more prone to deterioration that the E5 which used too be in petrol stations, Rather clutching at straws I suspect. There is a spark at the plug and I have...

Thanks Stivino, I didn't get those instructions with my machine so thanks very much. You are right, the machine is still under guarantee, but I think the supplier may construe the issue to be operator error in that I think they will try the excuse that the machine has struck an object such as a...

I have a 5 month old Feider FTDT4640ES Lawn Mower. I was happy with the Machine performance but only used it 6 times and it lost power mid cut and stopped. I could not get it restarted using the pull cord or the electric start. Several Back Fires occurred when trying to start it, eventually it...

I used two different meters, the first was a Digital Meter and the second was an older 'Steam Driven' AVO Multi Minor, both gave a very similar result. There are couple of 'phone chargers plugged in which will be earth free. Not sure how that would effect the earth circuit characteristics though.

Thanks for your suggestion, My thoughts were that 90V was rather high for a capacitive or inductive coupling as both of these earth wires are on a ring circuit and will be earthed at the consumer unit and as such would be equipotential, but of course if the earth ring is interrupted by another...

My house is relatively New, Built 2001 by a National Building Company and wired by professional building contractors. No Electrical modifications have been undertaken and all electrics operate as built. I recently loosened a Double socket live, and noticed one of the earth leads was loose...

Thanks for all of your replies. My concerns were only that maybe the IEE Regs for some obscure reason may have stated that external sockets should not be earthed. It did not sound correct but the IEE Regs sometimes come up with weird regs which seem a little odd. My earthing of the socket...

I purchased and installed an external Double socket from Screwfix. The back box has two Earth connections. When checking closely these earth connection have NO continuity with the Earth terminals on the sockets. I thought initially that continuity would be established when the sockets were...

Thanks Bernardgreen and SFK. The explanations certainly help my very limited knowledge of Lead Acid Batteries. I think my battery problem is that due to short local journeys in the winter months, my relatively new battery never gets the chance a full charge and may suffer from...

Sounds Plausible John. I'll run with that explanation. Thanks for your reply.

I bought a car battery charger a few months ago, the reason being that I am only doing short journeys over the winter and as such not really enough to recharge the battery fully. The type I bought was a relatively cheap domestic Electronic type with various functions. A battery charger means no...

Thanks so Much JobAndKnock,

Thanks for your reply JobAndKnock, Had a closer look at the underside of my 'resin' sink, and you are spot on, there are no retaining clips as used on SS sinks, there is some raised moulding bosses which on a cursory look appears to be some sort of retaining mechanism, but they are not, what...

That may be a reasonable suggestion. Those disposable blade thingies do have a thinner blade that the Stanley blades. Certainly worth a go. I dont know why sink manufacturers dont incorporate a rubber seal in their design such that the seal is made when the sink securing clips are tightened...

The problem there is getting the wire through the space between the Granite surface and sink flange,!!!!!

Thanks for your reply jj. A picture Is attached, but to be honest I dont think it helps a great deal. You can see the sealant is sandwiched between the granite top and the sink flange and as such is more like an adhesive. I have tries to insert a Stanley blade and the joint is so tight a blade...
