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...

Oooer missus, indeed.
The Yanks are going have a tough time removing this cancer.
One thing is for certain, he's not going to go quietly.
Even if he loses control of either house, he can just sign more Executive Orders to get his way.
Expect fake news, bad actors, covert influence by anybody (except the Russians), vote rigging, corrupt officials, Zelensky, Mexico, Canada and anyone els...

Dave's wife Liz sold his TD not all that long after Dave's passing. She reached out to me a few weeks ago seeking some advice on how best to sell the 66 MGB as she can no longer drive it.

As for the melanoma.. I have a friend who lives on the other side of the state who has a number of MG's and when I saw him at a British car gathering about 5 years ago he told me that he had had a spot u...

Personalized mRNA vaccines against melanoma—the deadliest form of skin cancer—reduced the risk of death or recurrence by 42 percent compared to standard treatment in a late-stage trial, pharmaceutical partners Merck and Moderna announced Thursday.

The results are a significant advance in melanoma treatment; Merck and Moderna are already engaging with regulatory authorities to get the ...

There is no way that this or any future government will nationalise north sea oil and gas. The legal and infrastructure costs would run into billions. A good deal of UK oil is exported anyway (which provides substantial income) as UK refineries lack the capacity to refine it all. They're configured to partially refine heavier imported crude. International pricing is in the best interests of th...

My Outdoor Sprite was previously sprayed in 2012 in 2K paint. Then recently I resprayed with celly with no adverse reaction. Except that is,on the bonnet where I got a crinkling reaction over pretty much the whole thing.
I wondered why, and then remembered that when the "professional" did it he initially made a mess of it. He then redid the bonnet, off the car. It looked ok for a while but soo...
