  1. Like the body shape,the head is ok but a bit of tweaking might improve it,I would get a coat of something on it before it starts to quack! I will get my coat....
  2. I cant quote him,but try working round the circumference,with the maul following it,as against trying to split the whole ring along its radius.bit like trying to make a twenty pence piece out of a ten pence! This often makes the splitting of large or tough rings easier.
  3. Buy a spare chain to check against,or run it for a few minutes of gentle cutting to see if it beds in.If it persists take it back to the dealer.
  4. I had a firestorm in red too,gas flowed etc,what a lovely engine they have! Just sold my xr650,that had a lot of engine work done,giving just under 70bhp at the rear wheel....that was fun too,now only one bike left,an old ariel nh 350,1952. will get a pic up when I get a minute.
  5. TW need to use a deeper headed bolt, not a shallow one. I even flatten the small dome on the end of the torx bit so the spline sits deeper Quote. Thats about the top & bottom of it!
  6. Yep,those star heads are a right inadequate pain,you did well to get that out Dean,feel for you!
  7. You will be able to split this with a splitting axe,best done green,the grain can spiral a bit,which can be a bit awkward at times.
  8. If you have done your bit you will find it a breeze,just take your time & concentrate on safety aspects,you will be fine!
  9. Thats a fantastic old pollard!
  10. No mate,change of rural rummage,now mooching about in the totham's,not so many webbed feet,just a tendancy towards bucked teeth....
  11. Thanks Tommer,I have cleaned it up in prep for the next bit,(no spark).
  12. Thanks zzr,thats a great forum.
  13. Managed to find this much; junior 1952 10,4kg,45cm bar. 2.0hk/4000rpm 76cc 39200made Also (I kid you not),they sold an attachment that converted it to...............an outboard boat engine,will try & get a pic!
  14. Came home with this old Jobu,all good,lifted the lid & the piston & bore are like new,loads of compression,will get it running when I get time. I cant work out how old it is,any ideas?
  15. Nasty little beggars these,had one of the caterpillars under my shirt a couple of years back,the resulting rash was long lived and very unpleasant.
  16. Chainsaw boots & gloves,1st aid kit including whistle. Saw maintenance kit including chain files & guide. Sure others will expand on this,good luck on your tickets.

    Woodturners love it,so yes there is a value in it.
  20. Ignorant dog owner for sure!
  21. Its a cracking film,one to make a point of watching.
  22. More usefull than a good old horse,that comes with a roof rack as standard!
  23. Check for a spark,if none change the plug,then work your way through the ignition system looking for a dodgy conection,and check the kill switch circuit too.
