I know I don't always talk about XJ's so I hope the mods forgive me ..
The gearbox mount is going in Saturday and it will be interesting to see the old one as the 99 still vibrates in reverse it's like the exhaust touching the gearbox .
Now the Stupid Ride on Mower You wont believe this .. I am sure I have it sorted now I was going to test it yesterday but by the time the battery charged it rained. I decided to pull the carby off so I got a container to catch the fuel and pulled the fuel line off .. No Fuel? it has a full tank?
I opened the cap to check and fuel poured out I close the cap the flow stops ? I drained the tank and was looking at the cap? it didn't look like a vented cap like on other small engines? it was one piece plastic
I used my reading glasses and a magnifying glass to have a real close look .... this is Insane! on the cap there is a molding picture of a petrol pump saying only use ulp and there was a tiny mark? it was not centered it was off to one side a bit so it was done by a human not precise like a machine .. I got a pin and I could easily push the pin through the cap? its hard plastic? is this the cap vent? clogged up by a grain of dust? it was a WTF moment?
If this was a cap vent it was the smallest and stupidest I have ever seen on anything! So I put a 2mm drill through it and will add a fuel line filter and I bet that solves all it's starting issues
So I think I have a win here
Lets hope my winning streak continues ........ yeah sure
