and that boys and girls is another example of "projection"

Thank you for a well thought out reply, you're correct, something needs to be done, and quickly, but there are already laws in place that would be effective to a degree in either preventing many of these tragic events such as the southport child killer, and many,many similar nutjobs, warning signs were plain enough to see, but as you rightly state, ignored, misinterpreted, had their been cohesion and action taken by those who knew of the chain of events that led to the final act of crazed psycho carnage, it could have been averted. imo, it's not helped by groups of idiots who actually appear to think these crazies are simply doing no harm and it often seems more important for them to cast their twisted views on others for stating the perpetrator was colored, an illegal immigrant or non white, or pointing out the fact that white people commit crimes too, maybe that would change if their child was repeatedly stabbed in the head. and those that have the powers of law seem reluctant to enact those laws, either for fear of racism, or even more concerning,,, they are part of it, as has come to light in a recent rape gangs investigation. until these people are eliminated from society it will not only continue but get much worse. To pick up on your comment on "better funding" 100% agree, but where there's cash there's corruption and there's no group of corrupt people greater that government, of any political denomination. maybe changing that might be a start, but of course their is no guarantee whatever replaced it would not be equally corrupt. the corrupt will keep playing their game, the pawns will keep taking it until the final straw breaks the back of the camel and chaos will ensue, helping nobody. I guess humanity will implode at some time in the future, largely by its own progression, and nature will no doubt try and rebuild from what's left, it has more time than we can contemplate. I don't like what's happening, but short of voicing my opinions not much I can do about it, especially given the time I have left.

try pulling that feckin stick out your arse. condescending prick.

finally got the recently acquired Danarm 1-71-ss back together today, it had a few electrical problems, I can't be certain but it looked like someone had it apart previously and trapped wires when reassembling, I replaced them all from an old parts saw, and put a kit in the carb, before firing up I pulled the exhaust, piston looked new! in fact the top was showing no evidence of being fired at all, it has massive amounts of compression, I'm thinking someone gave up on it after spending time and coin on it and traded it in for a new model, [it came from a dealers shop, as did the other two] it's now running good and starts in a couple of pulls from cold, and one once warmed up. I got a Dolmar CC [109] coming next week, I hope that as easy to sort.

not everything in the world is drawn with crayons.

once you start accepting the feckin' alphabet people and "furries" as the same as everyone else with the same rights, it's hard to tell the terminal nutjobs from those just wanting a little attention. given the propensity worldwide to avoid questioning the sanity and eligibility of all the things normal people can use and be responsible with, you're on a downward spiral. in our own country literally hundreds of people are on various lists, being monitored for website activity, often for years, but nothing is done until they blow kids up at a concert, or school, or some other atrocity, and then it's all,,, lessons will be learned, and suggestions, lobbying, etc, and wasting time and taxpayers money on how to place more controls on those adhering to the laws in place without achieving anything to negate the original problems. walk down the road minding your own business with the wrong kind of dog and it gets seized and destroyed, say a few "hurty words" on the internet and you could wind up incarcerated, fly the wrong flag from your roof and see how quick 5/0 turn up. and people wonder why there is so much negativity in the world.

Too feckin' late now I bought one pretty amazing when you consider they likely all come from the same ting tong factory?

I didn't know a lot about these, so I looked it up and found this, every day is a school day. Norton – 500race.org 500RACE.ORG oh, and in case anyone is wondering, the fuel can issue didn't work as the plastic had become brittle and shattered while reassembling. there seems to be some differnce of info on whether the Stihl version will fit on the Husqvarna can, some say yes, some say no? can anyone confirm either way. I just noticed Joe has confirmed it fits, I'll look into getting one of those.

The Atlas 650 -750 motor was indeed a good motor, but suffered from bad vibrations at higher revs, The Triumphs were a smoother running motor,but their single downtube frame was much inferior to Nortons featherbed, I never owed either, but I had a tuned Tiger 110 in a BSA frame that would beat many of them. great days.

I found this, so I got it apart, the o rings look fine, and it's exactly the problem shown in the video, I'll modify it tomorrow and see how it goes.

To be fair the can itself seems fine, but the self sealing spring loaded cap just gets jammed solid once it comes into contact with fuel after a few weeks, it's almost impossible to open in in normal use and as it's no longer able to close once open, sloshes fuel everywhere. I have put the standard type cap on it now, and tried to get the other one apart, but short of breaking I can't see how to disassemble it. most modern stuff is total shite and has a lifespan of a few weeks.

.

agreed, in fact I have been gifted a few saws that were stored with, and without fuel in them and all have been affected to a degree, some older ones badly. a thorough service and replacement with "viton" parts if possible can be very beneficial to operational longevity. An old mate of mine had his original "Triton" [Norton Featherbed frame, and Triumph T120 bonneville motor] it had a fibreglass fuel and oil tank combined, whole thing turned to mush on modern fuel, fortunately before the engine had "ingested any of it, he has replaced it with a perfect copy in stainless steel, at considerable cost I might add.

great,, a petrol can that melts the spout when you put petrol in it, Husqvarna forgot to mention that! well seeing as it's already fecked, I might try and dismantle the dispenser part and see if the seals can be replaced with fuel resistant o-rings.

Anybody use these, I got one, cost a feckin' fortune, fecked in a month, despite paying extra for supposedly ethanol free petrol, it's fecked the auto shut off dispenser to the point you may as well throw the thing away and use a conventional cap. I expected more from Husqvarna, but I guess like seemingly everything these days made down to a price in feckin' ting-tong land, rather than to a high quality in Sweden.

well the "one in one out" scheme seems to be working out better than anticipated.
