Spark arrestor ????

[GardenKit]

It actually was left over from my ag engineering days. Used it for assembling the old Molex slurry pumps mostly, but also for holding shims and even gears in place when assembling gearboxes etc.

Now used mainly for helping fuel pipes through tank grommets, and holding carb bowl seals in place. Also handy for 'sticking' nuts into sockets to assemble in awkward places.

not as dirty as grease.

Purple Nitrile disposables all day long here Steve, or the hands never get clean.

 

Tried Latex, didn't like the feel and the carb cleaner rots them, my choice is vinyl - much better - the Nitrile ones split a little too easy - have to be careful:lol: don't want any accidents:001_rolleyes:

Been hard at it in the bedroom all evening, loads of screwing and banging.......

 

Bl**dy self assembly wardrobes:001_rolleyes:

 

Anyway, to get back on thread, hows the OP getting on with his 141?

[Doyleyburger]

A very common problem on the 141 is that the pulse tube splits open. When the split is small it is sufficient to lose the pulse at idle speed, thus loosing the fuel pump, but may be able to maintain a pulse as crank speed increases.

 

Its easy to check, although the split is often out of sight and may not be seen without removing the carb and carb mounting plate which is easy enough to do.

 

Probably worth checking first.

Well you guys were spot on, this green tube is split bad. Anyone know where I can get one

Thanks once again for the advise
