What winch? -
So do I.
-
Wonky to the rescue again. Thanks very much.
-
It’s probably still 18p/1000.

Can't help with fixing your 039 but I can sell you (or anyone) a working one. Enquiries and solicitations by private message.

How hard do you have to push the pin in to get into the extra oiling range? I'm pressing nearly hard enough to push a cork into a wine bottle and it's not moving. Not inclined to shock it with a punch in case I break something.

What ropes are people using with capstans: Simpson, PCW, Eder, Docma etc? Manufacturers are recommending 10mm or 12mm. I want to use at least 12mm, preferably 14mm (16mm seems too tight a fit on my Simpson). As long as enough wraps for enough friction fit on the drum, I can't see the downside. And does braid-on-core kernmantle act very differently to double braid on these small drums?

The majority of people in the UK are thick as mince. If the government told the population they’re free to turn themselves in to an abattoir on July 4th, there’d be queues.

So still .325? I can remember the Oregon narrow driver or kerf advertised on here by Rob D a while ago.

What’s the new 261 combo?
-
You did. Missed your post. My apologies. I'll keep you/him in mind.
-
Yes but they're now gone. I didn't realise you were interested in some too.
-
Wonky's a handy fellow!
-
The other strimmer I was given is much newer. It's in far worse condition, more missing, more broken.
-
Thanks very much for all your help, Wonky. I'm just going to take your word for it. You've looked harder than I have. Why use a relic, doobin? Because someone gave it to me for free and I'm going to use it to strim 50 square metres (a two-hundredth of a hectare) behind my house about five times a year. My clutch lesson will cost me £5.91, cheap education in my book, and I'll frankenstein a head on from another strimmer I was given. I'll then only have the swingeing cost of a spark plug to amortize.

What made you say 220 rather than 160, 180 or 280? The drive shaft is 6mm square ended like that document says the 220 and 280 are but the length is wrong so how much can I trust it? What I really could do with doing is looking at the flywheel again, not a job for quarter to midnight though.
-
I’m open to any theory that makes it less my fault. Now I think about it, I had taken the drum off to track down a rattle. Perhaps it was already fully broken and held together by a combination of the spring, the drum and luck.
-
Thank you very much. I was going to look at the pdf later on the laptop. It says 4119R on the clutch shoes, and there are longer numbers beginning with 4119 elsewhere. 4119D is on the cylinder.
-
It’s a two stroke. Got it running with no more than a spark plug and fresh fuel then took two steps back by starting it with the clutch drum off. New clutch and a head (gear worn) and it’ll last me a while on the paltry amount of work I’ll put it to.
-
Neighbour gave it to me. West Germany on the cover. Any ideas?
-
Table insignificant. Well done for posting a photo the right way up.

Handcutting is for psychopaths, misanthropes and masochist perverts. Try a day in driving sleet (after thirty days like that and with another thirty to look forward to), cold mud ground into your hands, desperately waiting until you finish so you can drink yourself into oblivion and always wondering whether today’s the day you find that your coworker has hanged himself. Forestry’s not far behind warfare for desperateness.

You’ll see it described as copparding sometimes. I’d do it.
