OP should consider using burner accounts if they're going to ask variations of the same question again and again.

Sure, the original question was to J who seems to imply that people shouldn't rat on those who are evading tax and therefore evading tax is OK. However he also says that the immigrants are bleeding our country dry, perhaps double standards would have been better. One for you, how do we keep things running such as the armed forces, hospitals, support systems, law and order etc, without taxes to fund them?

My understanding is that newer twos strokes have better "rubber" or engineered plastics that can cope with ethanol, hence why the manuals say its ok to use ethanol fuel. I'm not saying they pump fuel doesn't cause other issues - water attraction, additives gumming up etc., carbon build up etc, but that carbs and lines are better able to cope with ethanol. I still try and check them for cracks or issues though.

Ive a stihl br400 blower, 24 years old past few years its been running a bit like a knob, started ran, but not to full revs . Local garage re tuned her and got it almost right ..one day it wouldn't fire, swopped plugs got one hell of a belt off it , then it went back in again and the coils fked , they can spark enough but not enough to fire , Answers a new coil but im not paying £180 plus labour for it

I ve had new plugs that were broken, when I have problems with stuff always use plug from other machine to, know it's good. Had a problem with a Husqvarna saw last year, would start and tick over but splutter at full revs, tried different plug carb clean, then change ignition module for one on other saw and fixed it. Years ago working for someone he had saw that wouldn't go, was quite new so I took it back to dealer as I was passing, they point bank stood there and said couldn't be ignition module, but I was 99% sure so pulled plug cap off and put finger in cap and pulled starter. And I didn't get a shock but dealer did.

Thanks @spudulike, I'll double check the gap to check its hasn't moved. Don't think the HT lead does unscrew on this one.

Thanks Mark, I only pulled one off will do the other. Good point ref HT lead but I'm sure its not. Thanks for confirmation, new coil it is I think. Just seemed strange the coil was working until a plug is connected.

Agree, Chinese replacement carbs can indeed be hit and miss. Example from this year. 2 year old 13hp loncin motor on a beach boat hauling winch. Much corrosion of carb due to saltwater exposure. I replaced original carb ( Chinese loncin ) with a Chinese carb. Winch under load would stall out unless choke on partially. ( Running lean but fixed main jet) Put old main jet into new carb ....sorted. not E10 related I know but what I'm getting at is it's easy to fit a new carb and if the machine is still not right you go on a wild goose chase looking at other possibilities.

The alternator produces three phase alternating current which is rectified using a diode pack to dc. The W terminal is connected to the ac side so produces an ac pulse that is proportional to the rotational speed and so can be used for speed monitoring.

Good morning Arbies 😊 Wet and miserable day forecast 🙄

Good Morning Weather poor as per Stubby forecast. Vehicle poorly (again) hopefully the service agents will do more than take a whole day to reset the engine management and actually investigate. A day sitting on my hands, frustrating. Have a fun start to December.

Morning, we’ve still got some snow on the ground and it must be around zero. Hope your kids get well soon Markie. A potter day for me, I’ll go walk the dog and see what comes up. Enjoy!

Grim @markieg, I usually find my mood lifts a bit when it gets light.

Not feeling it this morning, I have had a week of three kids being ill waking my wife and I, last night woken 5 times. Starting to feel ill myself now. Yearning for a nights uninterrupted sleep 🫩 Whizzing it down outside and subbing in to a friend, hopefully an easy day🤞🏻

There is a God !

Mornin’ Stubs et al. Still, frosty and of course cold. My favourite sort of day today, one tree, one client, park right next to it, client keeps the wood, just take away some chip. Steady start to the week.
