    I am right, when you gently turn the flywheel back and forth you can feel the play and hear the gap tick tick tick

    Macaroni actually Yes it's beef steak fungus I thought it might get a few scratching heads, however it does remind you of a book by Shigo that I sure we all have.

    The reason the baffle plate is burning through is because you are allowing ash to build up on top. This builds more heat in the metal and they burn through, every now and again make sure ash and debris are not building up on the top of the plate. The same goes for the grates the fire sits on in multi burners, if you never empty the ash pan and leave the ash to build up to the fire, the grate will burn out in no time. Regards mm

    I have been given a couple of bg85's that do run but have gone noisey and vibrate excessively, i think this is due to wearing of the big end bearing through poor quality 2 stroke oil being used, there is definitely excessive movement there. This must be a common thing to come across in some of your workshops? A new crank is around £60+ I can't think of any cheaper way to repair? Can any of you? And Do you think I'm right with my diagnosis? I've seen a few like this. It's a shame the crank isn't the same as the bg86 as a mate has a seized one.

    When you grinding in urban areas, I would think it would be common sense to scan around stumps first or at least have the service plans.

    Oh Don't be like that! Have you done it the old way and feel aggrieved because you think the new way is easier?
  24. MATTMOSS
    You could use it as a butt plug?

    AAAHHHH but that's not what you said. You said hard work isn't justification to passing the level 6. it is. if you don't work hard you don't get it.
