    Jokes???

  5. I think I can tell when fuel lines are getting brittle, with the carb disconnected. I clean the engine then give the lines a poke around under good light. Cracks will open up when moved but also the rubber feels hard not supple. I've always assumed the fuel line will perish first, because its constantly exposed to fuel. So if it shows cracks, I'll replace all the rubber - boots, carb kit etc. I've done this a few times on two strokes and less often on four strokes.
  6. Hi folks, About to start chopping my defender to bits. Somehow going to attempt to make it a chip box but also somehow forwarder.. Let’s see some 110 conversions for a bit of inspiration!

  10. Stubby, is there a way to clean out these carbon deposits without removing the cylinder? Personally I use alkylate in the infrequently used tools and fresh pump fuel in two 'everyday' newer brushcutters and chainsaw. At the end of the grass season the strimmer gets run dry then run on a bit of alkalate before servicing and storage.

  16. Morning, later start today as it’s the holidays and my youngest is working for the next 2 weeks, just me and him so a steadier pace where he can get more to do. The mist is down but will pass through, going for breakfast then off to the job. Yesterday was stunning here.
