  1. Shout out to Joe Newton for coming through for me on a Husqvarna 2100, a little minor fettling [which we both knew was needed] and she's up and running strong. top gent, cheers Joe.
  2. Yes, I managed it eventually, but it had spun very slightly and it was very tight, but a little patience and persistence won the day. thanks.
  3. "SUCCESS" mananged to remove the woodruff key, replaced it, timed it up and reassembled, first pull with choke, got a fire, second pull and she roared into life. I haven't got the bar on her at the moment so the governor kicks in pretty quickly, but jeez it has got some serious torque reaction, I'll put the bar/chain on tomorrow and maybe even put her into some wood. I got a big stick next to my cottage I felled earlier in the year to sort, so at least I won't have to carry it far.
  4. well it didn't go quite as planned Stubby, having got initially a good sign she was going to burst into life, it quickly became apparent it wasn't to be, further investigation revealed a sheared woodruff key, I have a large selection of those but the problem is removing the sheared piece from the crank, its managed to get itself firmly secured. not to worry just another delay in a very tired arm.
  5. big day tomorrow, finally got the Stihl 090 back together, gonna try and fire her up after 3 weetabix in the morning. I'll have medical staff on standby to reset the arm and shoulder.
  6. Your way of coming to the conclusion to suit your narrative by totally twisting peoples words is nothing short of pure fantasy. I find it difficult to comprehend you actually believe some of the stuff you post and simply do it to wind certain people up, no wonder your mental health has been in question in previous posts. As for the idiotic idea of net zero will likely happen not because of the ridiculous amounts of money wasted on it, but because the way things are going under the current bunch of feckin' self serving nutjobs in power currently will have destroyed any means of producing any emissions, and no fecker will be able to afford to turn anything on for fear of running up the bill. never mind, I'm guessing there will be a major development next month sometime.
  7. Earliest version I can recall is this one , Somebody to Love (Jefferson Airplane song) - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
  8. Here ya go, double helping of Grace.
  9. Terence Stamp, Superman villain and star of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, has died NEWS.SKY.COM The Oscar-nominated actor, who was born in London's East End, died on Sunday...
  10. I was at a party last night, just at the bar waiting to be served and a woman came over and introduced herself. 'Hello, I'm Carmen'. 'Nice to meet you, Carmen that's a beautiful name, is it a family name?' 'No, I gave it to myself from my favourite things in life, cars and men, what's your name?' She asked I thought a while and answered 'B.J.Titsnfishing'
  11. Storm Floris has stopped more boats in twenty four hours than Starmer has in twelve months!
  12. Nobody has been brave enough to ask!
  13. well done sir, and the very best of luck to you.
  14. seems quite a common and not unexpected result, on more than one forum. didn't your "instincts" tell you you cant just claim disused railway lines, or using waste motor oil as chain lube was a seriously bad practice? not to mention the Himalayan Balsam which seems to change it's name with every post. but please continue, it's quite entertaining, and who knows what you might come up with next. The Dim Wits Member Mixed Farmer Aug 7, 2025 #16 I dont think there is much more to say hear really
  15. "waste engine oil",,, somehow I knew that was coming.
  16. well serves him right for leaving it in for seven feckin' hours. feckin' smug twat!
