      @@retrorestore thanks to channels like yours i was able to get two power washers and a lawnmower back working again.. saved me a fortune. probably well over 100 euro in labour.

    As someone who’s had difficulty getting generators to start in the past I’m truly impressed with the way you figured out the problem and fixed it. So clever!

    I watch all your videos Martin. Often because you have valuable information, but mostly because I like the camaraderie, especially on your Butler's Empire channel with Sharon and your adventures. I look forward to tomorrow, when I give my well loved and regularly used 10 year old pressure washer (that has been surging) an rattling (cracked ceramic piston?), I think my pump is knackered so will be changing that with a spare new one I have, but I need to tackle the surge that's happening with the engine. Now I know where to start, so thanks to you I just ordered myself some carb cleaner and those carb cleaning tools you have and hope for a good result tomorrow and a happy machine. Always great value in your videos and your experience. Thank you mate

    I've learned my lesson the hard way regarding varnishing and other buildup. Now, I always use fuel treatment and/or drain the petrol. I also regularly check fuel and air filters. Cheers!

    I have a question, my lawn mower petrol tank is always empty and there is clear leakage from the carb. I once saw a video you did where you explained why this is happening, but for the love of me can not find it. Any info would be appreciated.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  12 днів тому

      The needle jet under the float needs cleaning as it's letting fuel in when the float should shut off the fuel supply.
