Friday the 10th I set up at Herringfleet Hills. Optimistic of a good night in perfect conditions, when it came to starting the generator it wouldn’t start. It has always been a first pull start on every occasion and despite several attempts it was no go. Brian was due to visit later as he was not trapping this night and when he showed up he offered to go home and bring his genny and so he did. Lights on at 22.50 I will have missed some moths, non the less 179 species recorded. It was good Brian was there as at switch on the traps were inundated with moths and it was a struggle to write down all species present. Moths seen included Triple spotted Clay of which there were several. D mucronellus, Pauper Pug, Crescent, Red-necked Footman, White Satin, Small Mottled Willow, Kent Black Arches, Water Ermine. Now without a generator possibly for the remainder of the season I guess focus will switch to my home site.

It ought to be easy to fix Keith. First thing is to change the plug and then see how things go.
Thanks Raymond but it is down to one of three components; dodgy oil cut out switch, ignition coil or cdi unit.
