All Activity

Morning All. Tom been up since 3 so I ain't slept that well! Off to Newark Showground and just realised that I haven't really got a decent jumper etc to wear under coat so going to be cold and bored! Tar, Rub, Able.

Morning all. another frost 0c currently .

Poor weather today so in the workshop today. Going to fit a flap to the roof of the chip truck to reduce overblow. Over the years (and the trucks) I have tried, and failed to find a robust, effective solution. They tend to get broken/lost. This time will be different!

Good morning Arbtalkers 😊 Looks cold outside....

Good Morning Lucky Les. I'll be going all the way up to Christmas Eve. Have a safe one.

Part of my hatred of the Labour Party is their belief that as Marxist/Stalinists/ Communist Workers, the can negotiate out of any international bother and slash the defence spending. After all, the Forces are staffed and instructed by the educated land owners wealthy children who are intrinsically better educated than they are. Again, the forces subjugate the masses with their orders and instructions! How much have they once again, smashed from defence spending, leaving us a laughing stock amongst the defenders of world peace?

He’s trekked for six weeks through deepest Kashmir to the ashram of Gregg, Senior Global Pasty guru. He’s eaten one while levitating ten inches above a surfboard, riding the perfect wave of a perfect storm. He once baked and divided five between 5000 hungry stoner metal fans on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

I like the tripod idea with a farm jack

Sort of Greggs slice! You tried their Katsu curry slices? Nice!

Glaswegian 🤷‍♂️ Its funny how you often answer your own questions, or confirm you own assumptions etc, there must a term for that other than blagger. Any where were we 🤔yeah military service 😂

Nice one Dan.

It certainly is a thing of beauty now, the trained eye can just detect the pruning cuts.

I will recheck the cylinder again to see if there are any markings, but I THINK it was mahle. The ground wire is secured, I checked it when vac testing about 2 weeks ago. The switch is assembled fine too and works as intended, choke, high idle and removes high idle when throttle is pressed. I'll talk to my dad about the cylinder again, he assured me that only piston was changed at the dealer, the only other cylinder was the amazon one which I now have in the basement and was fitted couple months ago (and got a piston ring caught in one of the very nicely cast ports...). As for the spark plug, it should be mostly the same, no? it is the same length as the original. it was either that or a new oem cylinder which is worth more than the saw currently and the stalling issue will remain since it was the same on both cylinders. The saw actually runs and starts fine (1 pull from cold today), the only issue is stalling whewn hot. As I said, I'll see if spark plug insulation helped when I can get into the woods again.

I dig stumps out all the time with a mattock, if you post photos I could say if it's doable and what I'd charge

Outstanding work.

Back to the tree last night, after bee bedtime to plug the hole. Today was able to climb the elm on the left to set a line, then transfer across above the nest using my RC grapple. Only I haven't got an RC grapple so fcked about trying to cling on while fighting to get a line through the ivy. Knocked the tree back to a pole, cleared up, then used a pole saw to cut the rope off the bung so as to be a few metres away when the angry bees came out.

If he can't be bothered to meet you and show you what he is on about, and you have all quotes and invoices worded properly. Then only opinion is small claims court most people don't like it if you tell them that's what going to happen, as it black marks there credit score.

Yes, tree consultancy and root exploration mainly.

Time and a place, I suppose... not sure when or where, but I'm sure it exists. Starving to death outside a refugee camp? I think Huel beats the alternative there! I have four puff pastry parcels in the oven; mushroom, onion, goat cheese, various herbs and spices. For lunch for the wife and I tomorrow: one for her, three for me. Edit, shneaky peek: Getting there. Damn. Should have made 5.

It is very important that the spring on the red stop switch is under the choke shaft when re assembling the carb to the machine, if the wrong side it affects the movement of the switch, the machine will have a home produced cylinder so will not be Mahle, the cables from the ignition unit connect to the auto tune unit with a white block connector, but there is a single separate wire which is the ground wire for the auto tune unit, this wire runs under the induction tube and is secured by one of the carb floor screws, it is very important this wire is well secured or this will affect the running, I was a little concerned to see what looks like a 14mm plug fitted, heaven knows how that affects the combustion chamber area.

I've peaked too soon, gave you 3 replies all ready today, this comment is an extra freebie you lucky sod. Read this in your campest Glaswegian - you can do camp can't you? Thought you could "Oooh, SP, name check you, answer me SP, please do"
