  1. Shame it wasn't a woman, apparently they can multitask and safely keep their eye on the task as well as the camera.
  2. Who is the person intent on getting the action shot? I guess the customer took the video?
  3. I have never seen one but because it is a boxer engine, each piston moves out at the same time, it should be very well balanced and low vibration. Because the crankcase is shared between each cylinder and the crankcase pressure (as each piston is on the power stroke) still acts as a scavenge pump the saw is not piston ported. So the air intake past the single carburetor is controlled by a reed valve on the crankcase.
  4. I fail to see how a hole can be retapped , I agree with @Jase hutch buy a new inner.
  5. The taper lock pulleys I had to deal with had 4 holes but the thread was in halves, i.e you could use the half thread in a hole to either force the inner from the outer or to screw the inner into the outer, depending on which pair was used.
  6. I am very glad to hear that as I moved my two cars to them and took the recovery.
  7. I have no idea what the carrying capacity might be but with HSE and LOLER requiring scaffolding for the simplest of tasks, which previously just required a ladder, there are plenty of opportunities for a small amount of scaffolding.
  8. It is a scaffold transporting lorry so the weight is centred over the axle and it carries fixed but long lengths.
  9. Second video shows it working on one cylinder and the other not firing and fuel spurting? I'd say the high pressure connection between the fuel rail and the injector has come adrift in the manifold assuming it is at all like a car.
  10. 14 tonne Nice outfit
  11. More like rats leaving a sinking ship
  12. Did you explain to the passenger it's always the nearside occupant that gets killed by an over exuberant driver?
  13. Doh I see now, you cleaned the red paint and put your own handle. So it's probably a more recent one if it is Bulldog. I still like it.
  14. Perenniporia fraxinea or more likely Rigidoporus ulmarius??
