    Tape works great , I have also used strips of plastic cut from things like a butter tub or ice cream bucket to serve as a shim. Again keep up the good work

    Nice to meet you Mick! I dare say I burn up 3 of those things every summer! Tried various brands to no avail! I end up buying a new one over and over as there is not a small engine shop around me. So I think its time I watch a few of your channel and try to do something to salvage something LOL Must have 10 of those in spare parts out back now HaHa Yeah I suspect most of my issues is the carb on most!

    You get the same problem with spark arrestors in steam trains, particularly the small ones we run in our club.

    Great vid, Mick! I like the way you re-use bits. I do the same thing. Wife always asks why I keep things. I tell her it's because sooner or later, me or someone else is gonna need it.
    99.9% of the time, I'm correct. Have a good one, Brother!

    Good fix Mick. About 100 years ago I used to sell and service Husqvarna gear and at least in this parish Tanaka gear was very well regarded especially amongst commercial guys. I seem to remember it being blue or green so maybe it's not the same manufacture anymore. Happy Halloween to the Reilly fella 👍

    If the spark arrestor is bad , could the exhaust port on the cylinder also be checked for carbon build up .

      Perfect shim yes, gaffa tape will stop it from slipping and moving due to the high grip, unlike the proper plastic shims ya can buy!
