I have noticed that the plunger is visible when it will not cycle to fire the next nail. I have taken the trigger mechanism apart and put in new o rings, it worked for awhile and then quit again. When you hold the trigger back and bump the safty on the front end it will not drive a nail. I have taken the back of it apart where the big diapham is and everything seems okay back there. The feed is okay on it. When the trigger is pulled and you bump the front end you can hear air in the chamber, but not loud like when it drives a nail. I uuse nails about 2 inches long and have the wire collets, again it is a coil nailer.

I caught my 4 year old hanging on the towel bar in the bathroom and unfortunately she ripped it out of the wall. I want to repair it but I'm not sure how and would like any info you can give me please. Also, if possible, I would like to make it strong enough to support the towel bar again so I don't have to move it. Thanks.

Our toilet has a really nasty sulphur smell, and it HASN'T been used (so this isn't due to, ahem, human business). The tank has been flushed and it's been sitting unusued. It appears to flush normally too after it's been used.
So what would be causing that smell during it's idle time?

Thanks.

My partner suggested I go on holiday whilst the decorators are in, but I feel guilty. He would be happy and would get on better without me. He has great taste and we have discussed it all.

The toilet was working. Went back in to use it and it would not flush, took off the lid or the tank no water. Played around with the internal ball and chain...no water. Checked the valve and the water is on. The other toilet is working fine and the water in that bathroom is working fine??? Anyone have a clue? Stumped!

Thanks,
Tina

I am literally changing one or the other, every 15 days or so, around the house. It seem to happen not only in one place but randomly every where in the house. I noticed some just burn out with sizzling sound with flashing light. Could there be some problem with Voltage in the house?

It has spark and gas. Above the float in the carb is a jet that seems to be plugged. There's a tiny hole in one end and the other end seems to be plugged or closed. This "jet" threads in perpedicular to where I would expect the main jet to be and just under it. The generator will fire with starting fluid, gas does enter the float bowl, I've put new fuel in it, the spark is yelowish orange. Should it be blue?

My bath desperately needs to be re-enameled. Has anyone any experience of this? I really dont want to have to get my bath removed so can this be done with the bath in place? Also, any idea roughly how much this will cost? Finally, I live in Belfast so do you know of any companies who do it there?

Thanks.

I asked something similar last night. Here's the deal. I rarely use this bathtub shower and it was working a year ago. In the summer I noticed only cold water was coming out of the faucet. I tested it again yesterday....same thing and I let it run for a long time, if I put it all the way on hot, the water pressure goes down significantly and you can barely feel luke warm water....Is this a simple fix? How?

I have just had delivered a sheet of toughened glass. It was fine on deliverly (so I signed) but when i moved it it smashed. Surely this shoul dnot have happened. I called the company and they basically said tough luck its glass what do you expect. Whilst I appreicate that glass gets broke surely toughened glass is stronger and so should have not broken so soon.
Does anyone have any suggestions? or has this happened to anyone else?
