Lawnmower simple job not!
« on: 19 May 2019, 09:52:41 »
I've got a Honda Izy and the fuel shut of tap has snapped off.

Bought a replacement, only held on by one difficult to access screw, which is seized solid!

Success, had to take half the lawnmower to pieces to access it properly.

probably less eventful than heating the seized solid screw with a gas axe  :D

I think that would have been quite eventful on a screw holding a plastic fuel cut off tap near the fuel tank ;D
