Mine managed that. There is a push on connector that in my case was disturbed, it blew off after around 2000km and left an embarrassing puddle on the road.Quote:

My esteemed colleagues would have more of a clue.
Heads off to Google to get the story. .................................................. ..................................Tecumseh Products - Wikipedia
Glad I'm not only one!! Thry also found today that a plastic bit that's inside the transmission, I think sucks oil or air, cannot remember exactly what he said it was, but it's cracked. They are trying to source a new what ever it is. They really are good there!Quote:

Disturbed by being Blick maybe?[bigrolf]
James N Kirby used the Tecumseh designs under license when Kirby's still manufactured in Oz. (And initially when they began a joint operation with Kulthorn in Thailand)Quote:

Kirby Refrigeration in Australia is a name only, although the wholesaling business was originally a part of James N Kirby. it's now a subsidiary of Beijer Group, a Swedish based multi national.
Have still got one of JN Kirby's Blue Books somewhere. Nice photo of Sir James in the front. In SA they were a great crowd to deal with. but that may have been because of the quantity of equipment that was purchased.
When I went into business for myself Bill Mac. & Ivan looked after me extremely well. The reason Bill Mac was bald in the front only, was because when operating a .303 bullet inner jacket manufacturing machine in WW2, he had his hair ripped out by the lathe that was used to make them & him getting too close. They were made by the buckets full as part of the War Effort by the crowd I worked for.
They really were "the Good Olde Days" then. ([happycry] Sighs) Except there was a war on but we didn't mention the War.[smilebigeye]
Hats off.
That was a bloody handy book,it was superseded by the white Kirby book, with a soft cover.
Mine disappeared long ago[bigsad]
Yes,some idiot left it on the bonnet of the panel van in the day and went back looking for it but could never find it[bigsad][bigsad][bigsad]
But luckily I still have copies of the capillary charts.[biggrin]
Yes Beijer own Kirby,which were Heatcraft.
Seems if you cant compete with them, just buy them out[biggrin]
Beijer also own ACD,the AC wholesalers.

They did manufacture some excellent equipment but was really glad when the externally sprung B Series disappeared, to be replaced by the AH Series, a much better comp imho.
Jeezuz, where did those details leap from?:Rolling:
But at the end of the day, they were mostly all great lumps of things when you had to replace one on a roof & other hard to access places.
Bloody B series,yes rusted springs,so they used to tip over[biggrin]
We even had them in the old Pope and Kelly Room air conditioners...
That was a looong time ago.
Loved the AH,one of the best around.
The TAH today is just as good.
