My turn signals aren't working. With the ignition on, I'm not getting any power at the B terminal on the turn signal flasher.

I'm assuming that power should come from terminal 5 on the Hazard switch. I have power at terminal 6, but not terminal 5.

Defective switch? Or am I misreading this diagram?

This is a '74B, US Market.

Hi everyone

Progressing slowly with my YT restoration, but I have passed a tipping point I think. I began this week with beginning to put parts back together! I have been rebuilding components, but this week I began to put the rear axle back together. The hubs have been cleaned, new seal etc. I put the hubs on the end of the axles and then started to install the drive shafts.

Sorry Les, I am conscious of my verbosity so had skipped some detail! The original cracking was deep through what appeared to be an overly thick top coat. I rubbed that down, flatting it completely over the areas of this crazy paving before adding primer and celly top coat. It was then that I got the much finer but very visible spider web paint reaction in the celly over a wide area not just over...

Running then suddenly cutting out.

As this is the bbs it must be the condenser !

Guy, I'm surprised that a barrier paint would deal with cracking. I'm having trouble with cellulose cracking on my car, and have recently dealt with it by brutally sanding it off and respraying. I was afraid that the primer had cracked under the topcoat but I found the primer was quite sound. It was actually U-pol 2k epoxy.

This mainly affects the bonnet and top of the boot, and I suspect...

It will either be spark or fuel :)

Briggs and Stratton? Coil is under the metal top cover on most of these engines. Easy to change, you just need a feeler gauge to set the correct distance between it and flywheel on reassembly.

I would start by removing the top cover and checking for damage to HT lead, if you park it somewhere dim and crank it you might see sparks going to earth...

Melanoma is a scourge in Australia and everyone knows someone with it. Thus, we are very pleased that an Australian researcher has been the leader in this recently announced research.

Sounds like an ignition fault. You could try disconnecting the "kill" wire from the ignition switch. If that doesn't work I'd suspect the ignition coil/ magneto which could be going open circuit or shorting out. You can possibly test for continuity depending on access. Depending on tractor's age it either has points (like my old Qualcast mower) or is electronic. Apparently you can fit...

The upside of Jackdaw approval is a like for like reduction of C02 compared with importing where there is the addition of sea bourne transport impact (though generally ignored for the carbon balance of individual countries) Local availability is unlikely to increase the overall UK's carbon footprint. And the other benefit is the tax accrued and promised 'wealth fund' though the claim that this wil...

I have an ancient Westwood Gazelle 11HP garden tractor. It's rough and rusty but incredibly useful. Bought for £30 nearly 20 years ago to provide spares for a better one that has since gone to the scrap yard, it has been going strong (despite a ducking in the pond a few years ago) until recently.

Of late, it will fire up easily enough and then run well for about five minutes before cutti...
