It makes no difference, I have tried it both ways. The more I read about it all the more I think it needs a new carb, but I have yet to change the plug. Modern petrol seems to play absolute total havoc with carbs, well small ones, and even carb...

Iffit rattles like a tin of marbles it will help it sound orfentic.

Would you believe it ?? Trying to set tappets on my little landy Kohlar engine only to find that they are hydraulic lifters 🤔 I'll have to flush the engine and put fresh oil in to see if that solves the noisey tappet problem, it's been stood...

As usual you only think about this sort of thing when you need it, which is too late! I expect I'll manage to find a way of getting the outside of the plug to touch the metal of the motor while yanking on the start cord. But I may not be able...

Perhaps with all those motorised devices one of these would help and save W's dainty hands from grime and any shocks? :)

Couldn't find me nife at wuk yesdi. We has wuked together for many years. Eye were sad to fink eye'd lost him or he'd been taken. May only be an auto retracting carpet nife burrits been reliable and friendly over the years. Gorra nuvva one but it...

I was coming back to the east midlands from Wales yesterday and was delayed somewhat by a massive traffic jam that stretched most of the way around the A5 ring road around Shrewsbury. Eventually we got to the cause of the delay - there was an...

Forgot to mention that it wasn't obvious how to get even the top off the Bosch DW, once done and the sides removed I found an old mouse nest in it! The blighters seem to be able to post themselves through the narrowest of holes. I doubt if...

Not being able to buy a plug for the strimmer until Thursday I decided to have a go at the Bosch dishwasher cyurrently taking up space in the hall. Couldn't find the exact manual or YouTube for it, so am having to undertake yet another voyage of...

I have now found a product especially designed to grout/glue/fix zinx guttering, Only €14 and sold in a DIY place in the town we will be going to on Thursday, supposedly. So, happy about that! It's basically like a mastic and comes in the normal...

Thanks for the tip! It originally started weeping in corners, now the end of one gutter has come off completely. I like the idea of the rubberised paint. I'll have to work on what that is called in Frog! But the broken off bit I'll have to use...
