Anyone Good With Petrol Engines?

[TrulyRural]

Can anyone recommend a local guy who's good with engines. I've got a rotavator that needs fixing up (98cc engine).

Thanks ;)

hey there was just wondering whats wrong with the Engine on the rotavator???

[TrulyRural]

Its been sitting for about a year. The guy I got it from said that it had a sticking needle and also a leak in the petrol tank (I have a replacement).

Thanks

Drain the carb and petrol tank and put fresh fuel in.
2 stroke mix or straight petrol?
Fit a new sparkplug of the right type.
Tapping the carb a couple of times with a screwdriver handle can free a sticking float needle.

Thanks Dog Eared....I'll give it a bash ;)

No don't bash it, he said just a tap with a screwdriver ;)

Have pm'd you.

Why a screwdriver handle? (all mine are rubber) Why not a pair of pliers or an ax? :Razz

Mine's a special tried and tested carby-bowl tapping plastic handled screwdriver.:D
