    Hi, I had done that many times but the issue this time was once i had fitted the replacement cable. Today i have done5 gardens & pulling the mover back was fine. Maybe i adjusted it difference OR cutting the small return spring made a slight difference but i would say its nor sorted.

    Petrol blower start / kill question.

    Unable to start this Mc Culluch petrol blower. I’ve taken the engine case off & see that 1 wire is off the kill switch. This shouldn’t be the cause of it as this only kills the engine correct ? So I have removed the switch thus having 2 wires, one goes to the engine earth & other disappears...

    Radiator thermostat valve does nothing

    Definitely does nothing. Turned it round to 0 last night & still radiator was warm / hot. So from memory the other end has a white conical shaped plastic cap. You saying below it is like a 8mm shaft ? We can then leave it like this until winter when we can then unscrew this end as opposed...

    Numerous boiler resets in last few days

    That’s it. Once the top was off he pulled out a small round part with as a little chimney. Also a rubber gasket with 3 what looked like spark plugs so I assume some kind of ignition system. What’s the cost of the part ? Also pump cost ? Only rough as curious.
