I seem to remember some very expensive Ducati bikes had to change from fiberglass tanks to steel or aluminum because of that . The " wide line " featherbed frame was very popular in my day for housing Triumph and BSA engines . Thing is there was not much wrong with the Norton Atlas engine I thought.

Oi oi then troops . Cool and clear so far . Rain later .

Slept through. Aided by a fair bit of local Raki! Windy here, will be hunting a spot for her to get laid out without getting sandblasted! Backed, Eerier.

There’s a member on here utterly obsessed with “ rape” maybe he will feel some sympathy for the child on this occasion. Another rape by another bogus asylum seeker. The attack sent shockwaves across Scotland and prompted the country’s first angry protests against asylum hotels. Extraordinary images suggest Nikzad’s trip through Italy, Germany and France before arriving on British soil was more of a luxury tourist adventure rather than a fight to flee persecution or danger. The social media images show the migrant posing gleefully outside some of the world’s most famous landmarks, including Rome’s Colosseum, Cologne Cathedral, as he made his way to the UK to claim ‘refuge’. One picture shows him sporting a North Face puffa jacket, worth more than £300, and smiling in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris as the sun sets. TRENDING

Hi, I can't comment on the hedge trimmer but my experience of Honda 4 stroke garden stuff is with the UMK450 e brushcutter which I'm very unimpressed with. It's heavy, slugish and and uses more fuel than my previous Tanaka and Kawasaki 2T 45cc strimmers... but the main problem with it is that it has zero ability for carb adjustment which any engine needs imo. Don't get me wrong, I have many things that run Honda GX engines but these latest garden machinery engines that can't be adjusted or tweaked are a complete pita and as well as that because of relative rarity there's very little advice or alternative spares available online. I've repaired engines for a living all my life, but " Honda power of dreams " would seem now to be feckin BS when it comes to their 4 stroke garden hand tools. Ok rant over, but as a quick search gives a price of around £650 for the HHH25 while you can get a Stihl HS45 for around £250 which will cut a bit more than 3/8" { I'm imperial 😁 }, why would you even consider it. Just my disappointed opinion, but if it doesn't have H and L adjustment screws on the carb... Don't buy it. Cheers

Prunus cerasifera If you've got free time and he accepts why not do it next week? It's not going to make much noise so could be a weekend job even. I would say to him - if the general advice is June, July August, then doing it after the first week in September not ideal.

Follow up. I've identified it as Prunus cerasifera. General prunus advice is prune in mid summer, until the end of August. We're very nearly there. I think the seasons are late and now would be fine but I could instead tell him to wait until next June. That hits the perfect middle of the pruning season and shows him I'll put his tree's health above my desire for the job now. Or would it make me look like a fanny and he'll just get someone else to do it next week?

This will be a big disappointment for some on here who had him tried and convicted already.

I found this, so I got it apart, the o rings look fine, and it's exactly the problem shown in the video, I'll modify it tomorrow and see how it goes.

Just in case anyone might be interested, I've got a spotless used makita duc150 for sale. It's 18 months old with It's box, manual etc and has a 4Ah battery and charger with it. I'm in Ches/Mancs -and open to reasonable offers.

It won't make me any money will it.

After doing a fairly happy and nondescript decade without one, a mate recently gave me a Stihl can. I bought the Stihl spouts for it. Thirty quid!

Similar to Dan, I've had an oregon can with stihl spouts. Don't need the spanner holders that fall out when you fill your saw. Bloody thing must be a decade old, replaced the fuel filler once.

You should have searched arbtalk first, husky one is well known for being crap, the Stihl one is good had mine for years. If you're too tight to buy the Stihl can it's the same thread on the Oregon can do fits straight on.

I was just about to buy this machine for 700e but found this in the user manual online. This hedge trimmer is designed to trim the hedge, which is designed to cut off the branches of up to 8 mm (0.31 in) in diameter. Do not use the hedge trimmer to cut off the thicker branches beyond the above limit. 8mm. Seriously??

... though they reckoned last week that the fledglings can do with some help. I am the same, will start proper feeding after Autumn. I've never read up on the myths surrounding the 10ft thing and rats - so guess what I've just been doing ! I reckon the 10ft thing is in specific cases, centre of the take away areas in town, farm animal food stores, docks, but generally your house or mine, they are far far away (more than 10ft anyway). Chicken runs - I reckon they pass by at night but arn't sitting waiting about 10ft away during the day. Made me think though, brought one of the trail cams in last night for a look and a charge, got birds, insects, deers, a couple of squirrels but no rats passing by - never seen rats on them either.. so all in, I am more clever today than I was yesterday, but 10ft from a rat is a bit of a myth

Alternatively, you can do it the easy way, with this blade on a Kombi tool. Faster than any saw on branches less than 75mm diameter, and doesn't have a chain flying off on fluffy bits.
