G'day Bob, Paul and LDU
It is a real treat for members to see restorations and restoration
approaches on this great machine.
I must say, I like Paul's approach of 'sorting' the machine before painting;
particularly with these idiosyncratic suction carbies. [I say that as
a total amateur though].
I have a technical question...
Bob has given us a belt profile and size - A21.
I note that the carrier for the drive is slotted - for adjustment.
My question is: did Qualcast intend this to be an adjuster for the
chain tension - rather than the belt?
Many thanks gents for an entertaining and informative post.
I appreciate Paul's input on the carby - it is temperamental, but
it can be sorted I guess is Paul's message.
p.s. I remember using one of these as a teenager. It had a white canvas
catcher. The mower required a certain 'technique' - with precision
choice of the engagement lever. Once mastered, it was a pleasure to
use. Didn't idle that well ...
