Got my lawn scarifier going after many hours head scratching
Target fixation again.....it started when the plastic primer bowl split and I replaced that last year, cleaned the air filter and spark plug at the same time. Flipping thing wouldn’t start, not even a splutter, dismantled the carb and gave everything a good clean but no go. As you would expect there are a number of safety devices that must be engaged before the machine would start and I then convinced myself as it must be one of those not engaging properly as I suspected there wasn’t a spark.
So having dismantled all the various safety switches and not found anything wrong I decided to take the spark plug out and spin it over......
hmmm, there doesn’t seem to be a gap on the spark plug.....thirty seconds later having gapped it and stuck it back in....brrrrrm, brrrrrrm,,brrrrrrrm.
must have knocked it when I was servicing the machine last year.
