    Never knew that! Nice one Barrie.

    If its the ignition coil youve replaced what happens sparkwise if you pull it over with kill wire removed from coil?

    Is that the tecumseh engine?
  4. mikerecike
    Check the valve clearance specs in the engine manual then adjust with a feeler gauge

    Starter for 10.Valve adjustments.

    Elimination is probably only way to go from now.For info batteries can fail suddenly especially over 3-4 years old.
  7. mikerecike
    Battery could have completely failed.Can you substitute a known good battery to eliminate that possibility?

    I order mine (along with my climbing ropes, parachutes and shark cages) direct from the Cheapingbitsing factory in the PRC.Apart from a few minor hospitalisations I'm 100% satisfied.:thumbup:

    A tenner for a solenoid Felix.This is what they look like.
  10. mikerecike
    The easiest.Either through the spark plug hole with a spark plug i modified or carb side with a diy blanking / pumping plate depending on access.
  11. mikerecike
    Have you checked the state of the battery? Maybe it wasn't charging properly?
  12. mikerecike
    Did the solenoid click/engage when you switched all the way on? Can you test the solenoid?

    Thanks Barrie

    Solenoid not functioning. Took it apart and resoldered what looked like a weak contact between winding wire and the external energising post.Cleaned internal components and grounding bracket. Still getting extremely low voltage reading across the large copper posts when energised with 12v battery although a continuity test across the posts when energised gives a good continuity beep. It is stamped 1984 -should I throw in the towel with this one?

    Thanks Barrie.The alternator PDF looks really useful.
  16. mikerecike
    Sit on wiring colour protocol ? Is there one or is it different for each manufacturer ? Also apparently there should be a rectifier diode on the red wire from the alternator??? Mine doesn't have one ' just a frayed end. Is it critical?Can it be bought aftermarket? What amp grade of wire to use?

    Did you use any elements of the 'gasket kit' that the oil seals came with?Sounds a little odd?

    If you take the caps off theres probably a screw head under.If not cut flat heads with a dremel or hacksaw blade. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Kawasaki engined strimmer.Impossible to start.Didn't take long to spot the fuel mixture bubbling through the cylinder gasket. Dirko'd up running lovely. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Wish I'd've read this this morning Spud.Just spent £8 on a strimmer clutch spring when I could probably have modified one. Really liking this 'get inventive' approach.If you understand the engineering tolerance why wait for overpriced parts .Nice one👍👍 Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app
