5.4 Os for me today in sunny Scotland.

Another reasonable day at 4.6 O's (18.05 kWh).

Wasn't here to see it, but looks like it clouded over this afternoon.

Forecast for tomorrow looks good again - lets hope they're right!

Merlin139

4.37 O's (17.39 kWh)

Loads of clouds day went downhill again from midday.

Now within 2.5 kWh of Estimate.

Couldn't quite manage it today. Clouds appeared in the afternoon.

19.9kWh = 4.975 O's.

I've had a similar problem with my rotovator this week. I drove it into my machinery shed last autumn but have just spent a couple of days persuading it to start.

There are only three things that will stop a petrol engine from running : blocked air filter, lack of fuel or lack of spark ....

Hi

Not condensation, but had similar problem with our Hayter 4stroke when trying to start after overwintering a number of years back .... after much frustration the solution was to either take it in for a service or try some Redex first .... quite a bit of smoke initially as the gunk burned but no service needed ...

.... everyone seems to be a little ahead of us this year, haven't even dusted the mower down yet, been too busy clearing tonnes of moss from the patio ...

At 4.73 Os yesterday, I am still short of the 5 that others are now routinely achieving. It may just be that early to mid-morning tree shading is compromising my overall score.

Don't worry about it, your time will come....:)

But I'm still puzzled why it happened.

If you want to be of a sure start in Spring; last cut, switch fuel off and let engine run until it stops. Drain all fuel off from tank and place it in your car, assuming it's petrol driven. In Spring of following year, put in fresh fuel. Job done.:rotfl:

4.52 O's today, bummer........

Mr & Mrs legoman are pleased to announce the safe arrival of their 1st Hawaii:T

It actually weighed in today at 5.15 O's or 20.6 kWh:D

Special thanks to SMA inverter and Sanyo Hit250s;)

Thanks - but it's not quite the simple operation described and if I'd done that every year for the last ten, it would have been a wasted effort for nine of them

I'll just carry on parking the rotovator (and another half a dozen bits of kit with similar engines) up in Autumn and hope for the best in Spring. If one of them fails next year, I'll try & remember to check fuel for water before stripping down the magneto etc.

3rd Hawaii out of 4 days today. Yesterday let me down with only 4 Os, but a good few days for sure
