Hi Angela
Thanks for the advice. I have tried slicing, as per your suggestion as well as spot spraying with Roundup using a sawn off flower pot to contain the weedkiller to the weed alone as well as the "Glove of death" i.e a Roundup soaked glove an…
Hello Richard - me again
There's an article in Local Government News about a chemical from Syngenta Crop Protection UK Ltd. It's called "Rescue" and can apparently remove coarse ryegrasses from bowling greens. Phone number is 01223 883400 website is…
Hi Richard
Large coarse weed grasses tend to have large coarse roots. A greenkeeper once told me that to get rid of poa annua in fine grasses, he slices through the plant and the roots in several directions. This fatally injures the plant and it die…
I have been working on a nice lawn since last Autumn which is gradually improving but does seem to suffer from regular infestation of large, coarse weed grasses. I have aerated twice in the last 6 months, fed correctly, overseeded in the Autumn and…
Good evening
If the engine starts on choke but then dies when you take it off choke then 9 times out of 10 its a blocked main jet in the carburettor.
The carb needs taking off and then blowing through with an airline.
Also if the carb sits directly…
Cheers Steve. Bitch of an engine seems to sum it up nicely. Everything seems to be geared towards very slowly bringing the engine up to speed. Once its warm, no problem
I think its not actually a fuel filter as such more of a fine screen at the bottom of the tube in the fuel tank
this is a bitch of an engine,(saw pic on ebay of one), we have them on a mountfield cylinder mower and a scarifier, full choke to fire up and then very,very slowly open up the choke,possibly leaving it chugging at half choke till the engine warms up…
3hp dont usually have a fuel filter, i would check spark maybe look at the flywheel see if it is clean
We had the same problem on our wolf scarifyer. The problem was the fuel filter being small it clogged easily.
Thanks guys. Its a Briggs & Stratton 3HP engine. I did put new fuel in but the biggest problems were a) getting it to fire and then b) once it had fired, getting it to stay running. I'll take on board the advice and play a bit more with it later. It…

order to check off problems to eradicate anything simple

Barry Richardson said… - Richard, are you operational as a lawn treatment company?
I develop software for lawn treatments companies, both large and small.
The program handles all aspects of scheduling customer treatments, special treatments thro to invoicing and credit control.
Costs are very reasonable and spread over 12 months and the software is configured for the possibility of a franchise operation.
Regards

- Which Franchiser are you with Richard?
For Landscape Juice members I have knocked 20% off what I normally charge.
Generally it would be around £1,000 which I would invoice over 6 to 12 months.
The scheduling is based around 4 standard treatments per year, you can run notification letters re reminders of treatments and these can be e mailed reducing costs. Records of all past treatments are shown on the job sheet allowing easy referral for lawn condition etc.
The system is integrated to allow for easy invoicing, payments by cash/chq/dd/so etc
Reminder letters automatically generated and again sent by e mail if required.
Nice little system if I say it myself.
What I can do is download a trial system to you and I use a log in system so that I can come on line and sort any issues out.
Currently I supply several Lawn Doctor Fanchisee's with my system, Lawn Master run their whole system on a similar suite.

- Forgot to mention, you will need to have access 97 loaded as a minimum although we can sort out run times if that is not ok.
Regarding accounts, all I would do is run the system and then enter a batch figure for the month, so much simpler and we have complete control over invoicing etc whereas packages tend to tie you itno what they want you to do.
