Gareth, it`s probably just a worn "Anarobic-Transmoglifier", It`s pretty common with old mini engines, they get a little looose with age,,,, a bit of an adjust of the Naggle-Bearing & it`ll be sweet as a nut

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Oh yeah I've been thru like 6 of those in the last month, you need a left handed screw driver to get them out. While your at it check your ignition, you might need a new bucket of bright sparks to wash thru your dizzy cap.







Isn't an Anarobic-Transmoglifier something to do with making beer you funny bugger Or am I spoiling your fun....

Best off using the "Populating-Tool" to adjust it ,,, but just add some lube as you`re doing it

When required I have found that just a bit of spit does the job, works on rubber too.. ehh rubber hoses of course...

Must be spring time.....the mating season...seems like the boys are struggling to keep their minds on the job.
We already have a thread that's devoted to these carnal thoughts,
it's called "What are we going to do about this?"
But I just don't know.

Shh shh don't advertise it... you know who will see it... the unfay olicepay...

Just make sure you don't use one of those "hitable" screwdrivers where the metal of the shaft extends through the plastic handle , I was listening for a noise in in the head (turned out being a broken spring washer from an air cleaner bolt that had been ingested through a carb ) and brushed the spark plug while the screwdrive was still touching the top of my jawbone just in front of my ear ....[/quote]
