  1. Sorry for "over" read lever...."oops
  2. Don't know if I'm supposed to post into this elite sub-forum but on my bench today is a Walbro 35B with a silly, plastic fast tick over control over that's too worn to work. It appears on Walbro's exploded drawing but is not listed as a part. Do you redhot boys have a workaround for this really annoying problem? Thanks in advance!
  3. Skin so soft never worked for me in Florida, got eaten to death. Better off with 50+ Deet, available from Crickhowell Adventure 01873 810020. Shameless plug!
  4. Sorry Stubby, missed that. Magnet still seems pretty pokey to me.
  5. Just so we're singing off the same hymn sheet: Husky call the bit by the flywheel the " ignition module" and the bit by the carb the " ignition coil". I was describing the ignition module previously. Can't change HT lead as is potted in ignition coil. I'm losing the will to live here........time for beer!
  6. Tried new plug, no change. Infinite resistance on coil at rest with only 3 volts output on sharp pull. Think I'll "borrow" the one out of my mate's 254 if it'll fit and see if that works unless anyone has a better suggestion....
  7. Thanks for all the input. I have used the hold it against the cylinder method and even in the dark there isn't a peep. Bought new plug this morning just in case to try later but I don't think it's the problem. As I said, pity there's no way of checking coil and blue box before replacing.
  8. Thanks for prompt reply Spud. I am not going down the wet tongue road, the dog would be very upset! He only just recovered from the electric fence pee incident! I'll try to measure the coil output with the multimeter but have no figures to compare it to. There's nothing in the service manual. No idea at all how to test blue spark generator, sbstution only, I suppose.
  9. Long time lurker on here but decided to sign up as I love the Spud/Gardentalk interactions! My 242 stopped suddeny yesterday while sitting on tickover-no spark. plug 2 weeks old and nice and brown. Removed switch and disconnected switch lead from coil, still no spark.Coil gap OK. How do I find out if the coil or blue box is at fault? I have searched all forums and, very surprisingly, have not found an answer.
