If you want to kick arse, the 500i. If you don’t need the absolute best power:weight you can get and would rather have the slightly more maintainable carb for the long term serviceability, the 461. That said, how often do injectors go wrong in all the modern things they’re in. My 500i had a new one not long after I got it and the risk of repeat failure doesn’t worry me now (and I’m the sort of person who worries about stuff like that). The price difference really does make your choice hard because a 25” on a 500i really does sing.

Builders use Henrys because they have a face on and pitch conversation at the right level.

Get used to using the pull line as a progress capture and pig pulling it with whatever you have to hand. That way the winch doesn't need to be anything special or anything with a long pull. This guy pigs onto the progress capture (tree wrap) rope with a prussik but you could use a portawrap for the progress capture and an alpine butterfly for the midline attachment if you prefer. Bear in mind you might need several butterflies for long pulls and they need to be far enough away to not interfere with your progress capture and close enough together that your short-pulling pig system can reach the next one. The video guy's pig system is the orange tape. The sort of thing you could use is a wire comealong, which are cheap as chips, commonly available here and strong.

Google gave me the NGK reading guide but it’s nothing like the green I’ve got. I’ll email NGK and thrash out a royalty arrangement for them using my photos.

I'm recruiting for one with a similar purview but that's a bigger job.

Now that's sales patter I can get behind.

I want local electrical infrastructure to suffer when I turn it on.

Does the EU bollocks apply to just domestic ones? ie If I buy one from screwfix, will it be full fat?

I've got a 2 horsepower, 50 litre, oiled single cylinder in the shed and it's barely big enough. Runs constantly and drops pressure while blowing stuff out, saws, boots, trousers, helmet etc. Even more annoying when it's underpowering an impact wrench. I'd consider a 50 litre twin cylinder if I was tight on space but bigger if at all possible. Don't consider an oilless model. They break.

Had a Henry and didn't rate it. I did find it in a skip though so it may not have been the best example of the marque. What's a step up from Henry anyway? You might think, "It can't be that bad." It is.

My house is a bloody disgrace. Sawdust, grimy arb sediment, not being arsed to take boots off etc. My selection of domestic hoovers doesn't touch it. What's a decent industrial one that will do medium duty shedwork and extremely heavy duty housework? £2-300, new or second hand. None of this modern, eco-friendly, low powered motor nonsense. The job needs horsepower.

Anyone remember this?

There's nothing to get. People are cross. They'll become less cross. They'll go for walk to the stump and say it's a shame. It is and that's that.

Calm down, you southern drama queen. You live on a swamp in Kent. It's just a tree in a nice place, sycamores are ten a penny and it's only famous for being in a Kevin Costner film. In about three days, the locals will go back to buying Lindisfarne mead (probably made in Northampton from Latvian honey) and wondering at the rich history of Beamish museum.

2.5 engines are good. Make sure it has an undertray. Without one, the auxiliary belt tensioners fall apart quickly. The handbrake will drag until you modify the calipers. Luckily calipers are also cheap.

Aye, mine was a shite effort really. Only one big egg hiding under all the stuff. Wasn't that hungry.

Get Dempsey on the six o clock news. “It’s a ****************in sycamore. It’ll be twice as big next year. Calm down, deary.” <swigs Chablis>

Approximation of an omelette here.

Aye. One of these decades.

A condiment breakthrough. Doing a posh fry up to put the criminals Doug occasionally posts about to shame. Wanted a bit of slaz for the spinach. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar the obvious choice. I mixed it up in an egg cup yesterday because that was the closest thing to hand but it didn’t have the space to whip the liquids together. A finished ketchup bottle means I can shake it to emulsion AND salvage the dregs of ketchup. A cracking little hack. No fuucks given about the dirty plate. I have an immune system that means I’ll outlive you tedious puritans, decadently.

Next day. Let it idle down for five minutes after a heavy six litres’ cutting. Two stroke bike riders hit the kill (and pull the clutch in) at full chat to get the truest plug reads. I’ve changed it back over to motomix now. Will have a look after next run.
