Neither of my machines have run satisfactorily since last October. I’ve got my 1968 Merry Tiller running fairly well now, still hunts a bit even with a different carb. and governor spring, I’m just stripping the carb. on my 1965 model now. I’ve found debris in the tap, tank and fuel pipe so far, pushed an old throttle cable through the pipe, got the tap off and cleaned that out, debris visible in the connection on the carb. body. I have found that if you are very careful you can avoid damage to the emulsion tube by removing the four screws and sliding the float chamber diagonally. They don’t unscrew very well anyway. Thanks Wristoin for you’re timely advice! 😉

You can enter for the ploughing matches. A Junior one on Saturday and the Seniors took part on Sunday. There was an area for those who wanted to play or learn or rotavate. There was also an excellent display of members machines….
