  1. These ones...yours does look a bit longer...oh er missus....
  2. Looking at the parts list, it is possibly the location dowel that should fit in the crankcase, starter side, top right hand corner close to the screw hole. See if it is missing.
  3. She bakes a fine cake, that I do know......I think it was a flapjack. Jon...try putting a pic up otherwise I haven't a clue
  4. If the saw is holding decent revs in the cut but the chain is not spinning then the clutch is slipping. If this is the case, the clutch may not be opening up as it should or the shoes/drum may be worn...sometimes the friction surfaces wear unevenly. Probably best to strip the thing down and inspect it. If the saw is bogging in the cut then that may be a carb or engine issue.
  5. That's him, I fixed up an 880 for him and went to the cash point with him to pay for the work, me in a pinstripe suit and him barefoot wearing a Stetson and dungarees....sort of amused me at the time....would have made a good pic!
  6. They use similar to plug domestic drain pipes on sewers. Who was the fella that turns skittles on here? I met him once a long time ago, not sure if he could help. Based around the west outskirts of London I think, built like a brick s%it house.
  7. Miss Scarlet, in the garden, with a chainsaw.....you could make a game out of this!
  8. Someone, please shoot me....on the other hand.....shoot him!!!
  9. There was a bloke on here recently that swore that couldn't happen. It must have been a miracle....or he was a twat.....one of those ponderables!!
  10. Definitely a scam, apologies, a dodgy Google news feed!!
  11. Haven't heard that sort of language since my primary school days...spacky would have done.
  12. The neighbour has broken two laws:- Trespass which is a civil law so the police won't help unless he damaged property or broke in. And Criminal damage which they may well assist with. If criminal damage is proved in court, the neighbour may well be told to replace the tree with one as similar as is possible plus costs. The neighbour is an arsehole and you just need to work out what you need to do to ensure he knows it and knows you aren't a pushover. Legal action is bloody expensive and perhaps a solicitors cease and desist letter to basically squeeze his gonads, pointing out the laws he broke and then replace the tree if it doesn't survive...a Robina may be a good choice. The twat needs to know he has broken laws and they have consequences. Some neighbours are complete bell ends!
  13. Got two Air arms, one springer, one PCP, no complaints at all.
  14. I took it as legit as I recognized the supermarket brand but perhaps it is just a black Friday swizz☹️
  15. Here you go, a tool for arb types with filthy tools.... DOUBLE CYLINDRE MECHANICOFFER.SHOP Features • Particularly suitable for devices requiring high power, such as pneumatic impact wrenches or pneumatic breakers•...
  16. If the neighbour came on to your side of the boundary or cut the tree on your side of the boundary without your agreement, he needs a bit of a wake up in regards of garden law!
  17. This is the one I have used for the last 15 years...the TT 20K Workshop model, not the cheapest but does the job well: - Handheld Tachometers | Design Technology, Inc., Home of Tiny-Tach TINYTACH.COM Handheld tachometers for gas and diesel engines.
  18. I usually use a wrecking bar to dig a deep small diameter hole to fit the post and then backfill around it, this worked this summer on some pretty hard ground.
  19. Glad the early signs are positive.
  20. Yup, a model number and pics can save a hundred words!! If it is just the rods, that is OK but if the gears are shot, that is another story. I have rebuilt many of these heads, the last one had been at another outfit for a year and they couldn't remove the input bearings🤔
  21. Coming off the subject of housing, my, now departed, dad gave me two pearls of wisdom....yes, join the companies pension scheme and...take a look at PEPs...the forerunner of ISAs...both were solid bits of advice IMO.
  22. I second the EDPM roof. My Tuin Gazebo came with it as standard which was another reason I went for it. It is easy to use and reckon it should last 25 years plus the material is used as pond liner so is durable and more importantly....waterproof.
  23. If you go for a typical wood shed, log cabin type, look at Tuin in Brooke Norfolk. They are very good, decent quality and don't mess around on delivery. I got one of their gazebos, very impressed with all aspects and the timber was very dry plus packed very well.
