Cheers Eddy, may have to do that! The yout of today.....
-
The trouble is, Richard, that all your rubbish is now all over my page, how the hell can I stop that!
-
There you go with that 'yout' again Steve. I have told you about that before, what the heck is a 'yout'? Does it refer to Kentish Man? And you really should get on FB, then you can be as confused as I am. (I'm on twitter, and thats even more confusing)
-
Thanks guys!

I have just launched a Facebook page for my business (or, I should say, I think I have.) I have no idea what I am going to post on it, similar drivel to that I put on here I guess, but I will be able to advertise some of my used kit I guess. Anyway, it seems that I have to ask people to 'like' it, so if you feel like it then I would be grateful if you could. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Garden-Kit/741919342491375 Thanks

You were quick to spot that Richard. Spent ages typing that and putting in the pics, but it all went wrong so I deleted it. The next version is much shorter.

For those of you who are baffled by this pump thing. Prise out the round brass plug that Eddy mentioned, remove the throttle butterfly and the shaft. Catch the piston and spring as it flies over your head. This is the piston, showing wear and worn seal.

Glad to see that the prices have been put right on your website Eddie. That will make my life a little easier.

The MS200t can suffer small problems just like any other machine, but they are all easily fixable by the right people. There is no need to find them a pain to use, just get them fixed as soon as they start to play up. If they have been 'fixed' and are still not right, take them straight back. Any reputable dealer will be only to happy to give it another check and tweak as neccessary.

I'm loving this thread so far!!

I think that do sound like Benny from Crossroads. (I know.... no one will understand)

Its been really busy here for the last few weeks, but not really much profitable stuff. Its all odds and ends of repairs rather than full services. A lot more 2t stuff than normal. With this type of work I spend a lot more time sourcing parts and quoting for repairs than normal, which is difficult to charge. A lot of machines are then not repaired because of the cost and become a loss. I prefer ride-on services and mower services, they are more boring but bring in the dosh. We sent out our annual 1800 (aprox) winter service reminders last week and the phone has been busy since.

I meant 'the day job' Steve, on account of your music posting:biggrin:

They do look like a valve tool, but are about 8mm diameter with a slot of about 2mm. A valve core tool would just snap off. Plus you need the length and angles to get into the back of the carb.

Quiet at work, Steve?
-
That's really tough Hedgesparrow, as if its not hard enough to make a living anyway. Catch the thieving git and turn the hedgecutter on him to cut off anything loose.
-
Touchy:001_rolleyes: Anyway, this is where the tang tool is used. Its difficult to get at and adjust, even more difficult to photograph. (sorry for the focus on the first pic)

John Deere have just announced their new PRO47V, not a cheap mower but it should be very good. It has Die cast Aluminium deck with steel reinforcement, individual height adjusters, AV rubbers on the handles, variable speed and is fitted with a 190cc Subaru engine. It carries an RRP of £1238.40 inc vat and will be available in the spring.

Richard is quite correct. That is because he is an all rounder, not restricted to just saws:lol: 4 stroke engines as fitted to small plant such as mowers have governors fitted. The max speed of these engines is controlled by applying a force (via a spring) to the governor arm. The governor is always trying to shut the revs down but the the throttle spring fights it to bring the revs up. Many engines do not have screw type adjusters to alter the spring tension. Instead you have to bend the 'tang' that the spring fits to. Often impossible to get pliers on, but these 'tang' tools slide in nicely and allow the revs to be set.
-
Ha! A kindred spirit! PS, I keep thinking you are called Two Stroke Lady!
-
Sorry, no. But I do have one of those somewhere. I use these much more often.
-
I did not make them! I bought them from Briggs and Stratton
-
Good answer, but its not right!
-
No.

We occasionally talk about special tools, anyone know what these are for?
