Did ya see the news paper article on facebook where the maths teacher was writing the name of the next person to die on the blackboard whenever the students wouldn't shut up for him!

Not sure but i thought it was priceless and sad at the same time that we've become so obsessed with tv that it can be used to control kids even when not watching it basically.....

It would have been better if he was an English teacher and made them read the latest book and do a report on it:D:pac:

Read a good quote earlier this morning:

Jeez, is there anything more frustrating than a lawnmower that gives trouble.
Starts first pull, no bother. Runs for about two minutes, and then cuts out. Impossible to restart

Have to let it cool down, or remove spark plug, pull starting cord to turn engine, replace spark plug. Then it restarts first pull. Two minutes later, cuts out again, and can't restart:(
All this despite new spark plug, new air filter, fresh fuel.

Any tips??

Do you always have to let it cool before it will start?
Or will removing the plug, etc., allow it start while still hot?
Will it restart if you just let it cool, without touching the plug or doing anything else?

Is the cap on the fuel tank venting correctly? Try running it with the cap loose and see if that makes any difference.

Can't say I can trust your 100% in the future. 100% a fox eh. I've a dead dog in my jeep that says otherwise.

Whatever you think yourself, I won't bother next time I can help you.

We had a few in the kitchen, noticed the trail goes under the ledge of the windowsill where there's a hollow overhang.

Unfortunately the cat likes to smush them.:pac:

Spent 20 mins earlier trying to get our sectioned cow up the crush to get a bottle of penicillin into her. You'd think I was going to cut her open again, no way was she going up that chute. Eventually tricked her as she had been eating silage through the head lock on the exit side (if you understand me) so threw nuts there and locked her in backwards, swung the calving pen gate around fully on her then.

I went to buy a few rawl plugs the other evening, M12 (the steel anchor ones which bolt into the ground)

Woodies, 8.99 for two!!
local hardware 1.20 each.

I need about a hundred of them, any better value to be got?

Good work. Can't trust any dog when they stray. I've seen a king Charles kill a duck and it was bigger than her. was my duck and dog.
No one thinks their dog would kill. Used to have sheep and they got attacked. Awful mess. Knew dog that done it and went to owners. Man wouldn't listen them the woman said she say blood on dog when it came home. Got nothing out of them-have no sheep now.

To cut the lawn, I just removed plug, turned engine with pull cord, reinstated plug, fired her up and of she goes.
She cut out again, just as I finished the last blade of grass, so I just let it sit for an hour. Started again first pull.
Must try the loose fillcap trick all the same, but I doubt it's the problem.

Seems to chug a little, right before she cuts out. Sounds more like flooding or ignition issue.

Thanks

Just in case a vacumn was developing in the tank. Regatding the question sbout whether or not it had to cool before starting , could be afaulty ignition unit which shows up when she is hot. What make engine?

It's free meat for God's sake. Escargot! If you were a French mademoiselle, you would be down on your knees, picking them up. Lob them in the frying pan.
