Re: Fridge not very cold. Any ideas??

Re: Was fine, now confused - Setting Hydraulic Tappets
I'm about do do mine next week and the way I understand it is if you leave the engine for a couple of days the followers will drain down and it should be ok to adjust then. don't take my word though ask someone here before your attempt.

Re: strimmer woes!
They have a centrifugal clutch on the engine and they can rust up over winter and not engage properly hence reving but attachments not up to speed. Also if the attachments have been stored damp the bearings can stiffen but it sounds like clutch probs to me .I am a professional gardener groundsman so...

Re: Another Pierburg problem.Choke pull down unit & no idle?????
Sorry to butt in but I watched my carb choke warm up today and it took longer than 8 mins for the choke to come fully off, I checked the power to the heater element in the choke housing which was fine so now wondering if the heater element maybe shot ? Hope this makes sense.
