  1. I haven't looked but if points and condenser were easy enough to get hold of I would change them as well as the coil if I can get one of those aswell. I also had plenty of problems with coils playing up on cars I had a mini for my first car and there were still few cars about with them when I learnt my trade in the garage

  2. Hi Andrew it is a pull start machine I will upload a photo when I work out how. it has got a yellow petrol tank on it I am using top quality hatherliegh fuel so can't be that 😂. I will also be in touch sometime about a saw I still not got round to that I've had lots of other stuff to sort out and the garden been getting out hand out there in wilds

  3. Did take the carb off and blow it all our before even trying to start it when first got hold of it and drained the old fuel out. I was thinking along the lines of coil breaking down when hot but will have to investigate further when I get chance

  4. Hi all I have a flail mower with the above engine it has been sat for years and I've got it going but it only runs for about twenty minutes then cuts out and won't restart. If I leave for about an hour it will go again I have changed the plug and that has made no difference I've not had chance to check if it's loosing spark or is fuel related and probably won't get chance to look till the weekend was just wondering what people's thoughts were. Thanks

  5. I am a landrover mechanic so work on these alot they are great vehicles but are expensive to look after but what can you expect from a truck that weighs that much and can do every thing you throw at it. I would look for one after 2008 as there have been oil pump failures on earlier ones and the electrical gremlins were sorted by then. Don't get a manual one as the clutches are made of cheese and if you get auto make sure you have gearbox oil changed or even better megaflushed. You will not be dissapointed if you get one but be under no illusions it won't be cheap to keep. There are diagnostic tools available for not silly money so no need to keep going to the dealers for fault codes. If you got any more questions just ask

  6. I have just managed to get my hands on one of these that has been sat for several years it is all good apart from the cables seeing better days I've managed to get them all to move but thinking maybe new ones be better so any idea where the best place to try and get hold of some thanks
