and that may well be the case, the future is unwritten.

aye right,, not like like that bastion of truth and common sense jeered by the people of Manchester today eh!

In view of recent developments regarding the shooting, maybe not tragically. but the fact remains if not for yet another deluded, indoctrinated nutjob, he would not have been required to even raise his gun, or even be there. the decisions he made may well have saved many lives, I'm sure he will be deeply sorry it was not at least one more.

nope, not rick parfitt.

good shout, that main vertical groove looks as if something shaved a chunk out the piston, surprised it never took the ring out, but the resultant debris would give results similar to this.

it's possible it's not all of the original parts, as you say it looks like it was thrown loosely back together. I had an old pioneer here that looks like it was ran on a mixture of fuel and gravel, that too showed little evidence of bottom end damage too. the black areas of the crank could be the heat treatment from the factory, or maybe a sign of severe overheating, which could have contributed to the resultant wreck. I would completely dismantle it and assess from there. if you got it cheap it could be made into a decent saw again with a little tlc and a few parts.

Was the air filter present and intact, I get a lot of cheap, often free saws that have just been used and chucked back in the shed for years with no maintenance whatsoever, this looks very much the case here. it didn't come from wales did it?

@Anno who's this then, from a few year back.

depends which parts of the forum you read

A proctologist was angry at his career choice. High malpractice insurance cost, equipement fees, overhead of operating a clinic and still having to pay to operate at the hospital. So when his fifth malpractice lawsuit was filed against him, he'd had enough. "I'm going to quit doing this and follow my passion, motorcycles. So he said what the hell, he signed up for a motorcycle mechanics course at UTI, Universal Techinical Institute. "I'm good with my hands" he thought. So after 18 weeks of training it was final exam day. The class instructor wheels in an old motorcycle for each student, and the final exam it to make the bike run perfect, like new again. "You'll get the results in the mail", said the instructor. So when he gets the results in the mail, he cant believe that he scored 125% on the final exam. He calls up the instructor and asks " How can I have scored 125% out of a possible 100% on this exam? " "Well" says the instructor, "Here is how I scored the test." "You got 25% for correctly diagnosing the problem with the blown engine, 25% for removing the engine, 25% for rebuilding the engine, and another 25% for having the engine run perfectly after re-installation into the motorcycle." The proctologist student says, " But that only adds up to 100% percent and you scored me 125%." "Well" says the instructor, "You got an extra 25% because I've never seen anyone rebuild an engine through the tailpipe."

A man died and went to The Judgment, they told him , “Before you meet with God, I should tell you — we’ve looked over your life, and to be honest you really didn’t do anything particularly good or bad. We’re not really sure what to do with you. Can you tell us anything you did that can help us make a decision?” The newly arrived soul thought for a moment and replied, “Yeah, once I was driving along and came upon a person who was being harassed by a group of thugs. So I pulled over, got out a bat, and went up to the leader of the thugs. He was a big, muscular guy with a ring pierced through his lip. Well, I tore the ring out of his lip, and told him he and his gang had better stop bothering this guy or they would have to deal with me!” “Wow that’s impressive, “When did this happen?” “About three minutes ago,” came the reply

and what better link, to one of my favorite numbers, and at a time the life portrayed on the cover was almost a carbon copy of my own.

There was a time, when I lived a more "nomadic" lifestyle and lived in a Thames 15cwt van, traveled around to find very varied work,and lived on what I could trade, poach, or even find dead on the road, with a little imagination, or just plain hunger,,, a squirrel or two was a decent meal, perfectly edible, yes a little effort to prepare for not much meat, but better than no meal at all. soaked in brine, for a few hours before cooking improves most game, squirrel is no exception.

that boat sailed, and disappeared over the horizon, if only the ones arriving would do the same. no offence personally, but I think the shit is already in mid air, it's only a matter of time before it hits the fans.

A cold Guinness, a comfy chair, and my dog sleeping on my lap, this is my "go to" to relax and forget,, just for a while how all the cutns in the country feck me off. it's a little long, but maybe some might enjoy it.
