Fixed a fuel leak.... on my little run out the other day, two things were more than apparent
the pads need adjusting
. And she was very thirsty probably used 4gallon in 30miles
.
So I stripped the carb down. It was new last yr, the float bowl was full of swarf.
All the jets stripped, blown out. Hopefully it will sort it

Well it didn’t. I hadn’t noticed a ball bearing when stripping the jets and and acc pump out of the main body, as I turned it over the ball fell out. It must be a check valve, and put it back in the acc pump, truck starts and runs but bogs on even the slightest touch of the throttle. So I guess it doesnt belong in there. It’s an Indian clone of a Zenith (USA) 28/228.
There’s no ball in the original carb, and I’m getting no joy for a schematic from the seller.
ANy suggestions

Rayburn moving fun, spent the last few days attempting to lay block work. I will never bé more than an amateur.
Rayburn was bought four ? years ago, sat in the barn, then the 23rd of December it flooded here, had 30cm's of water in the barn.
Floods gone down, -7 this morning, ideal for dragging it out.
Having never lit it, we lit it outside, to see if smoke spewed from obscure places, it didn't.
This is my effort at block work...
Well i'm toasty next to it, maybe tomorrow thé future kitchen maybe warmer ? Fingers crossed...
Still got to finish thé chimney installation, finish thé wall, render..
And thé reste...

Rayburns are great, we had an oil fired one in our old house. Then oil was 7p a litre, cheap to run. We had no electric oven, all cooking was done on the Rayburn. Only the wife’s good clothes got ironed, the rest got folded and put on top of the hot plate lid to get ironed!

Rayburns / Agas rock.
But they do need to run 24/24 in my experience. And take a minimum of 24 hours to start to warm the house up. But what's the expression, makes a house a home?
The hot plates in the lower oven too.
Up to 8.6 degrees in here, a way to go.

I imagine it's better if you put them on a sturdy base so that doesn't happen.
I'll get my coat...

Ho, ho...
Temporary installation, needs to be 10 or 11 cms off the floor to come up to the same height as the rangemaster stove going next to it, all very temporary.
Vague attempt to warm up this end of the house, our bedroom is glacial in the morning.
Dogs installed...

Ours was run all the time. It did everything, heating, hot water, cooking

Ours was on a concrete plinth. That got it the height of the worktops, the plinth was a tile thickness less than the Rayburn. We put tiles on that were very nearly the same colour as the kickboards on the units. Dogs will love it

Steam has stopped pouring out of the back boiler pipes. Thinking about running central heating to the back of the house, as I've no idea how to heat the back shed.

Just a query, is it OK to heat it without water passing through those pipes?
I am thinking of a steam engine boiler. You would not light a fire in that without water in the boiler.

Possibly, I need to take it off the pickup and have a better look. I’ll take some pictures

I tried filling our other rayburn with sand (the backbox), but gave up, never been an issue, so far.
