Our old Rover 25 was like that, .....
Ahhhh......that's betterOk....so I can deffo do a nut / bolt solution for the pawl's that fly out.....once I can work out how to rewind the spring
Watch a YouTube video of how to do it.
Should add, quite fun to drive. ……
I had immense fun in hers when she wasn’t in it. Very difficult to catch it just right and this is where the diesel was the much better choice, as it just plodded away at hill starts with no drama.

May continue to play with the old one in the background, but need something that works and is appropriate for what I have.
I’ve recently repaired my neighbours rotary recoil starter as the pawls cover plate had sheared off. The nut for the bolt is moulded in to the underside of the top cover so I drilled a hole in the top cover, drilled and tapped a bush for the underside to replace the sheared moulded in nut, put a washer on the other side and tightened it all up. It’s as good as new now and stronger than the original design.
Yep, the diaphragm can go stiff or split (less common), which prevents it resonating to act as a type of mini fuel pump to keep It running after the primer bulb fuel has emptied. Some mowers do have a float chamber carb so all you can do with this type is wash it through with clean petrol and a thin wire strand for the jets.diagnosed correctly as a gunged up carb. I spent £30 on genuine Briggs and Stratton carb kit and service items. It's been right as rain ever since.I think knackered diaphrams are common on B&S, as I'm sure YZ250 will testify. Genuine diaphrams are around a five, for under £20 for the B&S service kit including primer bulb, plug, air filter etc....
..and when you get stuck, phone YZ250 and he'll tell you what you've done wrong
It is now difficult to start, the pull handle feels like its going to fall of at the next pull every time.
Ok....it did fall off at the next pull
2 metal 'weights' plastic riveted on....or were....no chance of a start now

The resulting geomagnetic storms set fire to telegraph offices ……………..
I’ll even put massive conductors on the roof if that helps.
I doubt HS2 could build a bridge, they would talk about it for decades, then move soil around for another decade....
You could be forgiven for thinking that the HS2 developers know what they’re at, but I don’t believe that they do. 
If my memory of my brother-in-laws three MK2 2.8 Granada Ghia X’s is correct (he had two X’s and one X Executive), the standard Ghia X had flat leather (or cloth) and the X Executive had puffed up leather. The Executive seat looked like it had an additional topper and looked like someone had bolted a three piece suite in to the car and I always thought that it looked a bit overdone.
Each to their own though.
Turn the sound down as the reviewer gets on your tit. Nice restoration otherwise though. Finally got around to agreeing to have the meters replaced. Both gas and electricity were over 20 years old so 10+ years overdue.....
………….
Electrical meter swapped first and left to establish communications while the gas meter was swapped.
Gas meter swapped. Waited. Waited a bit longer.
I now have two shiny new dumb meters
Octopus keep sending me emails telling me that both of my meters are past their certification, so I need to have smart meters installed. I keep ignoring them, let's see if they get bored.
Just been watching Bangers and Cash and one of these is up for auction. Must admit I've never heard of it, but what an amazing car.
I tried to find the episode
The news that there were another 534 yesterday ........
