The background is that I have a Countrax ride on mower and lost the key. Improvised with a screw driver in desperation and finally got round to buying a new key holder. The new key holder was differently wired. To cut a long story short I managed to put the wrong wire on the wrong terminal with the result that I got smoke coming out of the top of the engine where the starter motor goes round. See photo. The smoke lasted for about at most 10 seconds probably less when the batter was quickly disconnected. Tried to start it again (more in hope than expectation) and not surprisingly it is dead as a dodo. Now I am an old motorcycle guy and am not familiar with a more modern engine that probably has PCBs and my suspicion is that I have blown something serious... but what? is it the insulation on a copper coil of some sort? (I think not) so what caused the smoke to stop the engine firing ? Where will I find a "Haines" type manual to work out how to take the cowling etc off and get to the working parts of the engine? Yrs aye. Chris George

We replaced a great reliable Jotul with this Waterford 100, bought for cheap. I like the stove, well made, heavy, but by God it smokes. It smokes on lighting. Smokes when the fires going well and everything is hot. Basically if the door is opend, it smokes. The Jotul never smoked. Now, the Jotul was old with the internal baffels cracked, and I passed it on to a relative for his workshop. It was running a light gauge, single wall stainless flue, no probs. I gave the flue away with the Jotul, and bought a new flue for the Waterford 100, a heavier gauge, single wall stainless. Anyone have experience with this stove? I'm thinking the internal airflow Dynamics of the Waterford are just not as good as the Jotul. It also has a wider opening than the Jotul. Here's a pic. Ideas will be great fully received.

I've filled up a petrol canister with 5L of petrol and forgot that it was previously used for diesel. There was basically just a film of diesel on the inside and now it's mixed into the petrol, which is what I'm assuming is causing my saw to smoke like crazy?? Will this cause any damage since it's been extremely diluted?
