			<title>Repair material to internally fix petrol leak from steel fuel tank</title>
			<link>https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/122263.html#Post122263</link>
			<description><![CDATA[A friend had some fuelproof 2 pack tank  sealant and I put some over the leaking spot weld internally, let it cure a couple of days and the tank still leaked so realised it must be coming from some of the other dozen spotwelds. <br><br>Put a coat covering all the welds and now all is good.<br><br>Although the pump is only 3 years old a spare tank was not available which seems  poor form - Bianco BIA-WP15A - but now that I found several of the welds had leaked it was probably a good thing they don't supply spares as a new one may have developed leaks down the track.<br><br>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[B&amp;S engines can be reliable but they can/do fail.  B&amp;S  are to blame for some failures in particular on their bigger engines with the crappy decomp system that has been known to fail on motors with as little as 20 hours on the clock. I could not imagine how many B$S motors I have taken to the scrap man, it is in the hundreds, and sure a lot of these motors have been destroyed by abuse and lack of maintenance<br><br>]]></description>

			<title>My Briggs &amp; Stratton Model 1809 [83100] Engine Problem</title>
			<link>https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/121044.html#Post121044</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Success, and a huge thank you to Max!!<br><br>I did as you suggested, and drained the carby bowl, via. that Bolt. No wonder the machine never kicked over [see pic 1], the petrol was blacker than the &quot;Ace Of Spades!&quot; <br>Once it appeared to be fully drained, I turned the Fuel Button to On and flushed everything out, until it was clear, then turned the fuel button Off and replaced the Bolt.<br><br>Then to the air filter, I took every thing off, gave it all a quick clean, and left it as you suggested. The only thing I didn't do was pour any gas down the throat, as by this time, I could very definitely smell petrol. At this stage I also replaced the plug, with the one that was originally in there, when this mess originally happened, because I knew it was not that old, and I cleaned it well before doing so.<br><br>I then turned the gas shut off lever to the On position, and followed my normal starting routine, and it kicked in instantly on the first pull, although there was plenty of smoke coming out of the exhaust, but I new that it was the oil residue burning off that caused that.<br><br>I then went straight out and 'Double Cut&quot; our Croquet Lawn, followed by a Single Cut, [see pic 2.] just to check how the back-lapping went, by which time there were no visible exhaust issues!<br><br>Once again, thanks to all who helped me on this, and let's hope if someone else gets in this unfortunate predicament, they can refer to these posts, as a guide, perhaps...<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>mice_elf<br><br>]]></description>

			<title>Briggs Alternator wiring - help required</title>
			<link>https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/120845.html#Post120845</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Hi again Maxwestern, Thanks so much for your ongoing help here. I'll connect the red wire only and keep an eye on the voltage at the battery. I might even fit a volt meter to make it easier.  I've called it a mud mower for simplicity as per it's current wiring situation. When in fact it will be used by my young grandkids (4 under 10) on the family farm, to run a round on.<br><br>]]></description>
