    Try tightening the mixture screw by about 1/4 turn clockwise. See if it runs better and will stay running for about 5 minutes before you refine your mixture. If you can get a tachometer I think you will get a better running engine than adjusting by ear. If the 1/8 turn makes thinga worse the go 1/8 counterclockwise.

I've recently had a new bathroom put in, with a mains shower (used to be electric). But now my shower keeps running hot-cold-hot-cold every minute or so. My bath tap and sink tap in the bathroom are running fine, it's just the shower. I was told this shouldn't happen as I have a combi-boiler but...

Cold Air Registers Blowing Cold Air [ 3 Answers ]

Our cold air registers are blowing cold air worse than if the windows were open. The hot air registers blow cold air but not as forceful (maybe because they are 1/3 the size of the returns) This only happens when the furnace is off and we are heating with the wood stoves. We have metal ducting...
