Thanks for the info guys. Yes, you can alter the settings on my Nikon. Trouble is I keep it set on High Quality all the time and just forgot to change it for these shots. Once taken cannot be changed easily !

I have re-taken on my pocket camera on a lower resolution.

I’m not familiar with a nikon, but some cameras you can alter the size of the photo. If you select a size suitable for an email it will upload OK.

There is a service limit (minimum length) for the plunger but as my B&S manuals are at my workplace I cant look it up for you at this time.The plunger is made from some sort of fibre material and does wear of course.If the points and condenser have not been changed in years then simply fit a new set (unless you have the equipment to check the condenser and satisfy yourself that its ok to reuse).

Thank you for your reply.

The rotavator was repaired about 6 years ago as I don’t think it was firing and the pull cord either snapped or it was slipping. I don’t think it’s had a magnetron ignition conversion but I will try and check later when I collect the rotavator. If I change the points will I need a new points plunger 65704S

Apologies for my second reply regarding no points. I have since look up Briggs models 80200 – 80292 and seen that I was wrong. Sorry for any confusion.

You need a minimum 36″ stillson. If it still won’t move heat it up and off it will come.

Unless that engine has already had a “Magnetron” ignition conversion it will have the contact breakers and condenser located behind the flywheel.B&S part number for a replacement ignition set (points and condenser) is 294628.Set points gap to 020″

I had a look at my Manual, the wizard engine briggs 3 HP has a magneto so no points. Can you find any identification numbers on the engine cover. To confirm this, I should have looked before I replied.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thank you for your reply.

The last time it was used was about five years ago. Would it be best to clean the points or change them as I don’t think the points have ever been changed.

[vhgmcbuddy]

I would give it a chance, you can obtain Briggs parts easy and get plenty of help on here. I don’t know how long ago it was running, it might be just a case of cleaning the points to get a spark. I think I’ve got a manual, will have a look.

Missing engine more than likely a Villiers four stroke, mark 10 or 12

If its seized on the big end journal (con-rod / crankshaft) due to low oil quantity and quality then you will need to strip it of course.Personally I would strip it all down anyway so you can inspect and clean every part.
