Re: Garage lights
[quote I then bought an LED hand help inspection lamp made by Ring which has a magnet on the back too. It’s rechargeable but it cannot be used when plugged in and charging. My jobs usually take far longer than planned so I need a lamp that can be used connected to the mains. It is not unusual for me...

Re: we have a problem
True enough Chief, however, to quote Stuffedpike20 again, "Maybe if we posted interesting topics, more people would use the forum?" But who decides if topics are interesting or not and does a 'word association' thread qualify? I think we need to be told. ![Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Yes, 'butterfly' is correct. You may find this video explanation helpful in understanding how it's all supposed to work:- https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=morris+minor+carburettor+choke&sca_esv=596546401&sxsrf=AM9HkKmNA2BaR2QMqDJqBPjSKGGd5bXyow%3A1704808759570&ei=N1GdZee1Ipu-hbIP-aWxkAU...

"...no movement on this thing in the carb until I’d got the knob out approximately 3/8”..."
That's normal for a correctly set up carburettor; it provides the fast tickover facility that I told you about much earlier in this saga.
