Surely there are two jets , one for high revs and one for low ?? , seems to me the jets are not balanced correctly.

Yes getting them running as well as can be sounds fine. I’m well aware you are a great distance from me(I’m in Norfolk) , but on older machines some clumsy courier is the last thing you want. If it is at all possible to bring them to me , I can certainly help.

Do you have any idea what is wrong with them , take in mind parts thesedays are becoming very expensive, with that in mind my suggestion would be just getting them into reasonable running order.

Whereabouts are you based.

Andrew Hall is your man to tell you.

My problem was just the opposite , it was running too rich , I toyed with the float level for ages , then downsized the jet and it now runs like a clock.
Does yours improve with a little choke applied.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Regarding the rich issue , did you get any handbooks with it that explain different fuel jets for varying conditions. The reason I ask is I’ve just had similar issues with a very early Honda engine , changing the main jet from 85 down to 80 has cured the problem.

Those rotors are perfectly serviceable , I use a vintage Honda f50 , and simply overlap the pass each time , that way you will cover all the ground. As Chris states , the outer discs are really “crop protection” discs.

Some clear and precise photos would really help.

Alan Newbould is really the man to answer this. It’s only my guess that a Brinly plough is the one. I have one for my Bolens 853 , and Wheelhorse also used Brinlys.

All centre drive rotavators have to miss a small strip in the middle , I use Hondas quite alot , and I simply overlap each pass , that way your’re covering all the land.

Geoff .75 would be 3/4 , and .69 11/16 ……..just a thought , seldom do I have a metric head on.

I’ve tried allsorts of bait on traps , but miles ahead of anything else is Peanut Butter. If you can find where they’re getting in , and that’s far from easy , spray creosote round the area , they will not go near it again , a trick I learnt from my Father , he prayed the perimeter of most of his crops with it and seldom had Rabbit problems.

Angus , I know what you mean , there’s never enough space in a shed.
