If you suspect that the ignition coil is causing problems then going to the breaker less ignition is the way to go I recently converted the B&S engine on a Mountfield garden tiller and it transformed its starting reliability. Be aware though that here is more than one coil to choose from so be careful to order the one to suit your Model,Type and Code numbers.

Guarding against spammers must a bit like painting the Forth Bridge I suppose!!

Apart from causing problems to a site that they chose to latch on to I find it difficult to understand their objectives, this particular batch seemed to consist of a whole bunch of links to sites all gathered together and for what reason? your guess is as good as mine.

In answer to the next question no I did not try to follow any of them.

On the subject of diesel injectors one way to test them and be able to see what is happening at the nozzle end is to remove the injector from the engine, reconnect it to the injector pipe then crank the engine over while observing the fuel delivery pattern from the nozzle.
All is fine so far but due to the high operating pressure of the injector care must be taken to ensure that the spray is not directed at any exposed skin or the resulting injection of diesel into the bloodstream will cause severe problems, this can be overcome by aiming the injector into an empty jam jar.

We often had contractors in at work building new terminal buildings or installing heat and vent systems and walking around their site towards the end of a contract there would be nuts and bolts,lengths of threaded bar(studding) etc all laying around left over from the job and about to be skipped. We used to gather up such treasures and return them to the workshop for the will come in handy one day rack, could be very useful on out of hours call outs when the stores were closed or the odd homework job.

Understood re news in Cultivator, some cracking photos of the exhibits though.

I have not tried it myself (yet) but I have heard good reports from folk who have used undiluted traffic film remover as used in pressure washers to clean commercial vehicles for cleaning metal parts.

The folk that I have spoken to tell me that parts left to soak in the product will come out with no rust or paint left on them so if you do try this out I would be inclined to try it on something that is not too important as an experiment and see what happens.

I would stress though that you take care to follow the handling and safety instructions for any product that you choose to try, particularly in their undiluted form traffic film removers can be hazardous both to paint and people!!!

The pot maker looks an interesting tool, has anyone tried to make pots with one and is it a slow job turn out usable pots?

I don’t know about stale fuel but that first picture could easily be gnat’s pee – or was that Bee Pee?

Ouch!!!
I think many of us can hold our hands up to the sin of wearing our slippers in the shed so let’s all learn by your misfortune.
It won’t make your foot feel any better but I have worn safety boots throughout my working life and the one time that something heavy fell on a foot it landed behind the area protected by the steel toe cap, nothing broke but it still hurt!

You are quite correct in your thinking Kevin, the confusion appears to have arisen when we all registered for membership to the new forum site. I think you will find that the renewal date given will be the anniversary date of the new forum.
There have been several messages re this subject assuring us that all is well and that you can still renew on line but personally I renewed by post to avoid any problems.

Fingers crossed.

Maybe a daft question but how did you remove them? was the roller in place or had it been taken out.

Looking good, you will also get a bit of smoke from the various engine bolts and associated metalwork burning off assembly oil etc.

I also tried searching for Onan parts and all roads seem to lead to Cummins as Angus has stated, it will be interesting hear how you get on talking to them about parts for your engine. Their parts and service operation used to be very good, but my experience with them was for truck size or larger engines.
