Oh dear, oh dear.

Moe, as he's been dubbed by the sister in law, was running very lean indeed.

As the tank wasn't the original and not sitting properly, what little fuel there was in the tank was not reaching the tap...far out, what a n00b mistake! good1

Put the original tank on, swapped in a new fuel tap (the old one STANK of varnish, thanks for the tip!), topped him up and away he went. Starts first pull, even cut the back lawn to see how he goes.

Another PT saved from scrap and about to be put back into service. Just have to fix the handles and he'll be sweet.


I don't collect mowers. I just require Multiple Mowing Solutions™.
