Hope you find a cracker eggs

Dont know of any just now but if you hang about ours will be having pups in the next year or so. She is a deerhound/saluki/Welsh sheep dog/ greyhound. Dead quiet and a total softy.

Nah, no idea, sorry, I usually just dont worry about it too much! Not had a pot off that looked really really bad though Edit: not that I reckon that pot looks to bad to me mind. Usually after a hone with wet and dry it will have taken a bit carbon of the top of the cylinder anyways
-
Aye doesnt look to bad at all. Happy days
-
Does look a tiny bit like small about of transfer on piston. Though v hard to tell from pics. If there is I'd prolly replace the piston as if your doing the rings for compression sake. Pot should clean up good.
-
What does the exhaust side of the piston look like?

Always easy find a good use for an old one. These are 25yr old at least ally camp ones

One can only hope

I mix my filtered wvo with rye chain oil 50 50. Seems to prevent it gunking up and setting at all!

What makes stoves so efficient?

Some good reading here. And there is another good one with designs of frontier type DIY woodstoves and ovens from folded tim/ barrels etc. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.fastonline.org/CD3WD_40/JF/425/20-461%2520-%2520Wood%2520Stoves%2520-%2520Ole%2520Wik%25202.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjLm-DK69vfAhWKyIUKHWjMBbgQFjAbegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw2ae0wVUiXVNaiQ2AnyAXRs&cshid=1546869962294 -
I like the sound of trying that way. Will let you know how I get on

Good to hear, plenty of good folk about certainly, even on the Internet!

Not really no, a local builder has done it to the inside of his house and really rates it as it still allows the stone to breathe I.e no damp condensation issues. Also gives a nice finish. Will try and get back to you with details, think it will be many thin coats totalling about 2inchs of render. -

I know what you mean, quite an daily effort keeping fires in as well. Cant be doing with central heating myself though, always end up turning radiators off and opening windows when I stay elsewhere. Feel like a house has a good heart with a fire on in the middle of it. Also always smug in power cuts still being able to cook, bathe and have a warm house. Just starting the process of doing a lime and hemp Insulating render to the Inside walls of our stone house the now. -

Hope you do get sorted with a new build sometime j. Few pals have build nice wooden well insulated houses, was round there new years day and it was still cosy as owt at 2 in the afternoon, no fire been lit since the night before and no other heating. I couldn't believe it. In out draft stone small houses it's the first thing to do every morning! -
Correct. Heard somewhere that milk in the eye is good if you have scratched it. I've tried it and seems to sooth one of those horrible scratches which hurt everytime you move your eye slightly to blink
-
Thanks! I have topped the reservoir up as it wasn't pushing the ram all the way up. Should it be full to the top of the red cap or someway down from that. No sign of a level nor dipstick

"priced to sell" -
Not been to northern arb supplies only ordered online from them. Not overly impressed, but things turned up eventually, bit hit and miss. Gustharts is fine, well stocked, but usually you'll spend about 40% more than you Imagined you would buying other shite on the way out

I settled on "genuine sale" rather than reluctant. I have another chipper now and wouldnt mind selling it, wouldnt want to deceive anyone. Had a few "genuine" "no time wastery" types who are in hospital just now and just need my PayPal details etc via gumtree so that's encouraging. No offers of Nigerian gold yet though -

cough cough -
aye, my lombardini engine on the chipper sounds like a chinook, real low rpms even when gobbling at full tilt
-
thanks for all the advice. wont be used to clean paint on cars really, more for blasting shite off the undersides of vehicles, or slime off roofs before waterproofing etc. i imagine i will fine all sorts of other uses for it

It will be definitely be just for home/ yard use and pretty keen not to have another noisey engine running, but I am sure the petrol ones are better/ more powerful. Looking at a decent bosch/ karcher/ stihl/ nilfisk/ makita one. Not the starter models, like the 140bar ones etc. Second hand worth a punt or do these get thrashed quick? Anything to look out for on a used one? Remember something about pumps running dry or getting air in or getting damaged if left on but not squirted enough.
