Also check its def coming from fuel cap. Could be leaky tank breather
-
Check threads are good and inspect fpr cracks around opening
-
Fuel is the same though

Bought a set of 3 for a 357. didnt get to sharpen them once. They all broke before i had the chance. Total waste of time
-
Just wack some stove polish on. Very easy and looks ok, no faff
-
Keep hearing about buzzweld products whenever i mention waxoyl. Ive still got 10l of waxoyl to use up before i investigate though
-
Others may disagree but id certainly be having a go with that cylinder and replacing the piston with a meteor one. Bit hard to tell in the pic but id say the piston is shot and the meteor ones are decent and 25 or 30 quid ( come with decent caber rings)

Cant seem to attach pics from the website only the app

Been a while but finally managed to get a bit more done. Have running water off a pump, a dickhead sound system, stove ( nice little jotul 600), triple bunks ( middle one folds away to make seat), fridge ( with cold beer), extra seats and installed 3 seat belted extra seats. Long way to go ( sorry its so messy but you get the idea) but its coming on

Sounds great. Pics please! Just out of interest did you fit the standard mk3 2l engine with a turbo or have you changed the engine out for a 2lt?

Tbh its pretty slow and low gears on hills. But always gets you there! Its always a bit of shock getting back in it after driving around in the other motor which has a 3.0td. Have occaisonally had to stick it in low box on very steep hills with chipper and load on, usually only if i have met someone coming down and had to stop. But i love it. Its a 1996 and in 2 and bit years its needed a uj, brake pads, hand brake adjusting and exhaust tightening. Have thought about changing engine for a 1kzte or 2lt but dont reckon they are as reliable. And the 5l ( na 3litre) are like hens teeth. Is yours a double cab?
-
Just out of interest whats the price tag on the swift?
-
Tbh as a kid i know which one would be more fun to play in
-
Nah, im too grumpy about duchy and his castles. Really i should go and have deeks does look like a good project.

Depends on the branch/bit of tree i reckon. I have used stainless coach bolts and threaded bar ( toolstation) and also hung bits off hooped 8mm wire rope ( going through fat placcy pipe so not to dig into tree) to somewhere up above if there us anywhere. I have also created a sort of brace with 2 threaded bars and some 6x4's to hang a beam off - my idea was to not create a complete constriction in cambium as with a choked cable etc. You can buy slidey tree house mounts but they are crazy money All depends on the scale of yer project. Pretty easy to make a post going to ground in places where no suitable limbs
-
Mmmm my gut feeling is if its low hours, if you speak to right electrical magician the generator side of it will be fixable. What make is the unit? I know stephill are pretty helpful on the phone, worth a call to whoever made it ( cant remember if you have said.)

Engine def running up to proper rpm?
-
Is that at 100v or 240v? Can you get a multimeter on it?if 100v probably drill would be running slow
-
Depending on what you did to tune it. Factory settings are about 1 and 1/4 turns out from fully in on the h and l screw. This get the saw running if its what you did to it thats stopped it! Good luck
-
And this
-
Thanks for all the advice
