Going by the quote below, it might be a bit late for that.

Also, I don't think he has gas welding kit

Ash,

If it was just the gas that was holding you back, I'm sure Fred would have let you use the college kit to weld it back up...

its more a time issue than gas really. to be honest i didnt really get on with those esab tigs on ac at the college i like my own tig because its got wave form control which makes life much easier.

was you there the other tuesday alex? i was there bending the ali for my tank. you should have come and said hi.

I am on the Tuesday course, but missed last Tuesday (3rd) as I had to go to the O2!

Fred mentioned that you were there as he thought that you might have worked at the same place as me, just up the road by the airport.

Alex.

Ash ,I ran my own mower shop for 30 years and sometimes the various engines I saw had steel mesh inside as a baffle or a sort of plastic mesh,the idea was to stop foaming of the fuel,it worked so perhaps you could find out what this mesh is and buy some and put it in,perhaps contact Briggs and Stratton David
