Ah , Sorry AJ . Now I understand bud . 👍

Steve , is the tipsite now called arbtalk.co.uk/recycling ? Seems to have ( albeit slightly ) complicated it . 🙂

I have a pin version that came with my stove . I never use it coz I godda burn what I got regardless . Obviously I do my best to season my logs but at the end of the day .......

Burley Hollywell is 82.9% efficiency or 90.4% efficiency if you go for the ECO ready model . I have the older one and cant fault it . Nominal 5KW but must punt out around 7KW on full chat .

Yea . I'm not looking forward to bloody dying again !

Yep . I see all the above . So to get away from peeps sniping and dissing .....the general trend in modern day farming is to direct drill into last years ground ( with a different crop ) . and not to plough . All this is based on a gamble at the price per ton somewhere between now and harvest . With a " scratchit drill " you can get a crop in the ground with no ploughing at all and not set free any carbon . . Say best malting barley . If its going to end up at £120/ton ( un likely ) . you think it will reach £130/ton then the fuel you save by not ploughing is worth it . You will get a slightly reduced yeald this way but the money you save on deisel . Once it goes over £ 150 , and probably up to £ 200/ ton Then it is worth ploughing and drilling and rolling etc coz you will end up better off . does that make sense ?

Yes all that but I thought they were talking about a film of it being started .
-
Ok . but in my experience ( 70 years old next birthday ) dependent on the degree of loss of compression a low comp saw won't restart once up to temp . ( just speaking as me really ) .
-
Yes clearances open up to the point where it won't support combustion .
-
If I were going to buy one ( I am not ) I would rather they were started from hot and left to tick over for a bit . That way you would know that compression is good . Low comp engine will run for a bit when cold but once warmed up they stop and won't restart .

Ah , bless 🙂
-
Well I have just learned how Steve does it . Perhaps you could give him some tips ?

Those little fellas can probably fly already . Seen it a few times when I was a keeper .

Yes John there was a 200cc arrow but not so many about . There was also a " low " compression head version of the 250cc bike . The lower comp heads had the spark plug protruding from each head at a slight angle rather than at 90 degrees . And then there was the Golden Arrow with twin Amal carbs .

I had an Ariel Arrow ( a leader with out all the tin work ) Used to accelerate ( I use the word advisedly ) up to about 72 mph in 3rd , the click 4th and it would creep back down to 65mph .
-
I had a Villiers 197cc trials bike back in the day . Can't remember but it may have used the same Fanny B engine ?
