I got presented with an 076 today, apparently "seized solid", started to investigate and quickly discovered the entire crankcase both under and above the piston was full of chain oil? so, hydraulic locked. never come across this before, looks like someone has been feckin' with the carb as it's partially refitted, and my first thought was somebody filled the fuel tank with chain oil by mistake? but I had a bit of a search and it appears there could be one of many reasons for this event. can anyone perhaps shed some light on the problem, maybe even had similar . TIA.

Some of you may recall the tales of my dear friend Big John a little while back, here's another,, Picture the scene, it's Christmas time, a few of us have decided to get together at the local boozer for a decent end to the year, we've arranged to meet John there, he doesn't show, unusual for him, a few calls are made and he is apparently working security for a well know band at a gig, so we carry on in his absence content that he is ok, around midnight the pub telephone is ringing of the hook and the landlord answers, thinking it's someones irate wife calling about the husband, apparently it's Big John, wanting to know if the pub is still open, and having been told yes, can somebody put "Merry Christmas Everybody on the jukebox in 5 minutes, landlord humors John , "yeah ok" and hangs up, approximately 5 minutes passes and landlord tells someone,, Put Slades Merry Christmas Everybody, on the jukebox, every one looks a little surprised but it gets put on as requested, right as the moment it starts,, door literally bursts open and a very drunk Big john staggers in accompanied by an equally drunk,,, Noddy Feckin' Holder!, in perfect unison they proceed to sing the whole feckin' song perfectly, with the whole pub being heartily encouraged to join in. Noddy Holder kipped on Big Johns Sofa that morning as was when we finally left. John often did security for various bands and always managed to get them either into, or out of all kinds of predicaments.

came in from the workshop today and instantly saw the missus was in good mood, you look happy I casually said. I've been sorting out some things in my wardrobe I've had ages, I'll show you, she scuttles off and comes back and says I wore this when I was 16 years old,,, and it still fits me. It's a feckin' scarf, I said, hasn't spoke to me since.

you have to be a doctor,engineer or top heart surgeon, and you need to arrive with no papers on a rubber boat, having passed through countries that are safe but the benefits system isn't as lucrative and generous, an eye for underage girls helps too. anyone who disagrees is just a far right nazi thug and a racist.

priceless, now their talking to each other.

seems reminiscent of the indian bolswick bullsh1t post a few weeks back, that omitted the fact that the land in question didn't even belong to the poster. information is only added when the questions get a bit tricky, even ai it seems can dig a hole deeper in an effort to get itself out of it.

yes, humans do that kinda thing.

"termites" ? really?

yes, I recall that was a later model, an old trick to play when we were kids was to bumpstart an old bsa bantam field bike by pushing it backwards, and then offer a go on it to the many asking, they would put in in gear and let the clutch out expecting it to go forwards, but it went backwards instead. pretty soon everyone had caught on.

"My memory is getting worse,,, I don't remember that at all".

yes, my grandfather had one, I recall it had a kickstart under the bonnet, and no reverse gear, but the steering would point the wheel 90 deg in either direction which helped a little to turn it around.

well I always thought the 350cc villiers was a single exhaust port, and the 250,s were twin port, but I searched and found this, The Villiers Engine. – Barnstormers NZ WWW.BARNSTORMERS.CO.NZ I apologize, every day's a school day.

I think that's the 250 Villiers, as the 350 had a single exhaust port, all the 250,s had two, but that's a beauty and I would love to own one. If you still had it I'd be worrying the life from you trying to buy it.

that looks very usable.

something you may wish to try yourself. when you take a break from blowing smoke up your own arse.

decent dog helps.,,, relax, it's just a beef shin bone with an old trainer on the end.

Had a few night visitors show up at night on the trail cams, all togged up like feckin' commandos, I set a dozen alarm mines around the place, [non lethal but feckin' loud enough to wake the dead] one of them set one off a few nights later, the rest panicked and ran off in all directions,,, setting off 3 more. never saw them again. found a tool bag nearby the next day, 2 battery grinders, bolt croppers, prybars and enough batteries to last for days. I don't rate containers as they are easy to just cut through the side or roof.

Head shots have always been a contentious subject, I prefer to place the shot as instructed by dsc, If I cant get that safely, I walk away, there's always another day,, for myself and the quarry. I'm not an advocate of long range shots at deer either, it's called "stalking" for a reason. paper or hardox is another matter. nothing suffers if you miss, while dialing in.

Thanks for that, I have a few of those, but my old lorry has unfortunately long gone. that's a Austin k2 I believe, I had a Bedford J type 4x4 , should have kept it really, regret it now. there's some real beauties there.

I bought the varcol 150 @£34, around the time kram spoke of it, I'v used it so far in 9 different saws, of all ages and brands and it's performed flawlessly in all of them.
