Title: Lawnmower simple job not!
Post by: Auto Addict on 19 May 2019, 09:52:41
I've got a Honda Izy and the fuel shut of tap has snapped off.

Bought a replacement, only held on by one difficult to access screw, which is seized solid!

Success, had to take half the lawnmower to pieces to access it properly.

I think that would have been quite eventful on a screw holding a plastic fuel cut off tap near the fuel tank ;D
