Sounds like a right cowboy, did he leave you any horse poo for your garden ??
Seriously though I would not be a happy bunny if a muppet like that was let loose on my car, and as Steve says would be asking for compensation for a very shoddy job…
TAKE THEM TO THE CHRISTMAS CLEANERS. I WOULD GO TO A MERCEDEES DEALER AND GET THEM TO TAKE IT OFF,FIT A GENUINE MERC TOWBAR AND CHARGE THEM ACCORDINGLY. TAKE NO PRISONERS ON THIS ONE PHILIP.
I had the hand throttle turned as far down as it would go,so now I think that the next time it is run to gently alter the govenor and get it to run more slowly. if I need more throttle I can always adjust manually on the throttle lever. Forgot to add the choke in the carb above surrounds the throttle slide from top to bottom. to operate there is a long rod which comes out of the top of the carb where the fixing ring is.
Well I’ve take the easy way out for the time being.
I’ve slipped an alternator on which I had on a shelf. Everything is as it should be (well charging at least).
It’s looking a bit lob sided but it will give me a chance to source a replacement voltage regulator.
