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...

My Champion mower snapped the cable so as I had a spare yesterday I decided to change it. Today using the mower I found it hard to pull the mower backwards. Reason being the gearbox / self propell was still engaged. The inner cable can be seen after the adjustment screw then it locates into...

I purchased last summer a used McCulloch Air Stream blower. Did the normal things like plug, filter fuels lines etc etc. Using it yesterday I noticed when I put it down there was a small dip / puddle of fuel on the floor. I started it up & could see fuel coming from near one of the fuel pipes...

Old lady across the road said her bedroom is baking & could I turn the radiator off. In the attached photo turning the white part all the way around to 0 does nothing in respect of cooling it at all. Can that valve be taken off so then it does what she wants it to ? If so please advise how...

Evening, Please see attached photo. At first I thought I was going mad but just woke up baking. The controller is on manual & it shows 25 degrees. This is the 2nd or 3rd time now this has happened, admittedly not 25 degrees each time but I don’t really feel the cold so would NEVER have it on...

My sister last night said that her central heating wasnt working. What she means is the radiators are all cold. She looked at the timer / thermostat item on the wall if thats the correct name for it & said the battery icon was flashing. She fitted new batteries & set the time etc again then in...

My mowers throttle cable snapped a week ago etc but I had one that I fitted to get me by. It’s to long this the loop as shown in the photo. I need to cut it so I can let the mower do it’s job when I’m using self propel as it’s feels like I’m pushing it, I mean it should be easier that what I’m...

I can only go by what my neighbour has told me in that she has used it a few times this season without an issue. So mower will only start on choke. Once started it runs for say 5 seconds & dies. If I try to start it again then nothing. Need to leave it a few moments then starts on choke...

As per title. I’ve been strimming a piece of woodland say 200 ft square for a year or two now & never an issue. I did it Saturday & all weekend I’ve been scratching my arm & neck. Now all red & blotchy but cream now applied. Reading around I come to the conclusion that it’s down to some...
