Just to make sure that the fuel isn't the only problem, you could drain the tank
and carb. Crank it a bunch to make sure all the fuel is gone. If it fires at
all, that is a good sign. If not, try squirting 1/4 teaspoon or less into the
carb, then try to start it. If it now starts and runs for a moment, then you
know that you need to correct a fuel problem. It does sound like it's getting
too much fuel.

It does seem like an awful lot of fuel is goin into it , wen I tipped it in its back loads came out overflow I shall do hat you have suggested and post back what I find thanks for your reply

strimmer like a hummer?

What's a strimmer,

A strimmer is what you call a weed wacker

Wacker... now you're really getting sexual!

I feel this conversation is moving away form strimmers/weed wackers ha

And none is weirder than our boy Shelly, even for an USian.

Oh, and do you feel safer now that you will have USians troops stationed
on your island continent to protect you from . . . . ? Most peoples
don't enjoy the Empire's presence.

Obama says we are a Pacific power, and that we are never leaving.
Good luck.

I'm sure that aroused Shelly, too ;O)

Wank-on Shelly.

We've had US 'spookish' type bases here for a long time but not so's you'd
really notice. Probably the worst thing about them is that they don't
really support the local (small town) economies. If the Marine base does
buy local then they might be welcome by the Northern Territorian residents.
I must admit I'd rather all furriners stopped buying our farmland or trying
to put troops or spooks here, and I'm especially jaundiced about US spooks
since their meddling caused the Constitutional crisis here in 975, but we're
a little place economically and population wise so we really don't have too
many options but to roll over.

Obama says we are a Pacific power, and that we are never leaving.
Good luck.

Thanks. I think we all might need it given the still simmering sovereign
debt issues.

According to Nomi Prins, (It Takes a Pillage: An Epic Tale of Power,
Deceit, and Untold Trillions by Nomi Prins
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...stripbooks&fie
ld-keywords=It+Takes+a+Pillage&x=0&y=0) Wall St. created a $140
trillion pyramid scheme which has crashed, and is sucking in entire
national economies. Australia seems to be well off, but who are you
going to trade with?

Ask Okinawa how good USian neighbors are.

Hail victory.
