    Chinese carbs

    I guess it depends a bit on what the carb goes on , like a weedwacker is usually either idling or going full noise and there is no real need to modulate the throttle..... generator is similar . I could not find a 116 main jet for the original carb and the kit was expensive so I went for the...

    Make sure that the water tube is slipping into the grommet on the pump and not hanging up on it . I have recently seen where the tube pushes the gromet down into the pump outlet and all but block the outlet . There was a large burr on the end of the tube that needed dremeled off . This was...

    Reeds?

    I guess there's a 1st time for everything .:D Farrrrr out , I cant believe we have got to the 3rd page and not one of the "usuals " has demanded to know the compression . Tired 2 strokes can be hard to start when hot . Do a cold comp test and then do a hot one and compare the two .

    1996 ev 25 hp 2 stroke not peeing

    That is something I had not considered . I wonder how many of those had been run dry . I do carry a spare pump kit on the boat as it only takes a 10 and 14mm spanners to do a pump job ........provided one can get to firm ground to do the job .

    cooking

    you guys seen to get quite serious in the kitchen . I used to fix ovens etc and a couple of things that kept popping up are that a helliva lot of ovens dont settle on the set temp, like with brand new T/stat set at 180 degC might be anywhere between 150 and 200 . If you have a suitable...

    Nobody fishing?

    yep , catching your own is the best way but the down side , for me any way , is that when you are reduced to having to buy fish nothing seems fresh . I was complaining at the girl ( she's only about 40 ) at the fish shop and she tells me that "fresh " can be 5 days old . This came about...

    M9540 24 speed parking brake

    Yeah it seems wrong from a "dont mis-treat your tractor " point of view , but after a bit of thought I cant really think why not . I guess there are times when its ok to use something for a purpose it wasnt intended for ( like battery drills on your fishing reel ) with reasonable success
