    My FS120 had a broken wire & fell on the floor. It was part of the coil so i purchased a new coil & now trying to fit it.

    Stihl strimmer carb question

    When the air filter is removed the air that enters the carb is more. So the mixture in theory is weaker. Should I set up the L screw nearest the engine to accommodate the engine to run with air filter left in place. Never had this issue before.

    Increase petrol mower rpm

    Well i did assume i bent it but it was done it situ. Isnt there a sure way to bring rpm up more so at least the speed of the thing moves along quicker. Does adjusting the self propel new cable help with this ? This grass isnt long & mower crawls along,any grass that is a bit higher i think it...

    Cheers. I am now nearly finished but just these 2 things to do. Remove that strong spring on the stop / start arm as when mowing you see the lever creep & engins dies. Need to stil get revs up & couldnt easily bend that rod. Unable to alter cable as it locates in a slot in that clamp. Jobs...

    Mount field HP474 no drive at wheels.

    Ok now sorted, Ive done much better on The Krypton Factor. Not only do you have to have the drive pegs in the correct orientation BUT also the metal gears that they lock into. These metal gears look the same either way round & one side has a plastic bush / seal fitted. After many tries i...

    Replacement mower rpm question.

    I just can’t see what forward pressure keeps it in the deck holes. I mean if there was a spring there then the user would move the lever out ready to go into another hole & whilst doing this the spring would be wanting to keep pulling the lever towards the deck There is nothing like that at...

    Replacement mower rpm question.

    It looks like the adjustment lever is just bolted to the rear of one wheel. The metal is quite thin & has the nipple half way up which just pops into deck hole. Lever continues up a touch where is has a finger loop so the user can move it. You only have to sneeze & the nipple is out of the...
