What's on your bench today?

The carb on my 14hp B&S Vanguard has a small plastic pipe that just vents to atmosphere . It is dribbling petrol a bit . Is this a float height problem ?

It will surely be a float problem Stubby. Could be height, but more likely to be a contaminated or damaged float needle valve and/or seat.

Time for another cup of tea, sandwich and post.

 

Thats the 3 JD mowers done. All straightforward until I filled the tank on the R47VE with Aspen. It leaked.

 

It is always worth filling the tanks completely on a service as these tanks (Briggs Quantum) are prone to leaking on the seam near the top.

 

So a new tank fitted, and all is well.

Day off today. And with no car had no excuse to disappear down lifeboat either.

 

So I HAD (got ordered) to help the other half in the garden. So first off was fix the snapped washing line. A quick double sheet bend and all good.

 

Then it was the pond. Pump not working. Took it apart and the shaft had broken. A quick pound shop superglue and all good now.

 

I've got to say that the pound shop superglue, comes in little shot tubes, is fantastic. I've done loads of little repairs with it and it holds perfectly.

Contemplating the pile of saws - think I'll take the carb off the 076 and give it a good clean as it's still not running.

 

In the meantime I took advantage of the nice weather to do a bit of trimming up in the garden, and got bitten by the Silky. According to my wife the hole-count is 12. All bar three have stopped bleeding. That'll teach me to try to do gardening won't it!

I'm always shocked how I can do a full week of brash work and to get one cut. But the moment I start doing the house I end up like a pin cushion.

That is one reason I try not to do housework guys.

 

Anyway, just about to leave for home having completed 3 more from the queue and getting well into the fourth.

 

'Twas a productive day.
