I like this answer 😂👍

That’s true but if that means “ which it did” that tens of thousands of apprenticeships are not available then quite frankly it’s too high a price. That’s been my view long before Reform started to say anything about it as well you know.

A brief derail into Faces in Figs.

You've not said if it's dead and won't turn over or it's just not turning over and no spark. Don't know if you're key starting or pull starting.

Any one know any company in UK who sells fuel tank guard for ms462 tried USA don't post to uk

O.k. so it looks like the pushrods jumped out of its socket on the rocker arm. That would account for the noise you heard. The push rod will certainly need replacing. Set the valve clearances, turn the engine over by hand for a few revolutions then re check the clearances. Then try and run it. So difficult to tell from photos but hopefully the bottom end should have suffered no damage. Have a good check of the rocker arm, make sure it's not bent or fractured before you rebuild it. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

I am cool with my neighbours bin emptying being prioritised over mine though, as I’d rather not look at everyone else’s crap blowing about in the wind - and I can trust myself to manage mine.

Thanks mate big help is this picture the solenoid

The bark box doesn’t have a great reputation for build quality from what I have seen on other forums and from other cutters. I would just get another oem exhaust put on as the bolt holes will only ovalise and the exhaust fail

Did you ask them to fix a Honda motor or fix a wallenstein? Any decent mower, chainsaw outlet should be able to sort that? Is the oil level correct? If you can’t get it fixed I’ll buy it off you as is and part ex a splitting axe ?

Why Holme Lacy? Is that where you trained?

First time I have ever been asked if I have one, and do quite a few job on highway with traffic management involved. Council are asking the question on 28 say notice on tree, Are they just being you know what. Is there a way round it people have found.

It's definitely a close race between Biden and SP, ask either a question and you get a lot of nonsensical rambling without an actual definitive opinion or answer. Ask him what ice-cream flavour he likes it's probably three pages of waffle, then says vanilla or I prefer gelato.

It’s me selling the truck btw. 07724 400 505

Now I think about it, petrol pole saws are always a ballache to start. You have to lay it out, make sure the saw head isn’t touching the ground etc. A battery one is much more usable.

Indeed it is. In my lifetime, and I will be 66 in a few days, we have only had 2, 1976 and 1995. So another would be more than welcome. Cheers

I have an egg pecker. It’s one of five of them. Hen six is currently sitting on four eggs in a DHL box serving as a broody coop. But back to the five. How do I catch the perpetrator, short of CCTV or finding egg on its face? Video for general interest and pleasure. IMG_5483.MOV

true, you have to crush them up, ideally shred them, to get the output. a huge pile of pallets doesn't make a huge pile of crushed up bits though!

It’s a cyclical thing, every few years there’s a glut of certain moths/ caterpillars. In this case, identify the plant and you have your caterpillar. If it’s spindleberry, could be ermine moth.
