    Securing loads on HGVs and goods vehicles - 4. Ways to secure a load in an HGV or goods vehicle - Guidance - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Equipment and methods you can use to secure a load in a goods vehicle and how to use it safely. You must use sheeting and netting to stop loads bouncing upwards on open vehicles (for example sided flatbeds and bulk tippers) unless the load is secured by other means. Sheets and nets used for load securing must: be in good condition - there must be no rips or tears be suitable for the load carried cover the entire load bed so that no part of the load can escape be secured down to the vehicle or trailer

    I doubt you have had the misfortune to work on an Einhell saw either

    It surprising how some people have managed with no tickets , in one case for the 35 years I have been on the tools with him.
  4. openspaceman
    Very likely as we are all inveterate "fixers" at the repair cafe, and everything was very clean.

    I think the brass jet is fitted okay. This is a cheap carb and maybe they have used this check valve as the only way for fuel to exit the metering chamber to the idle and main jets as a cost cutting exercise?? Once I decide there is no way to repair the check valve and the carb is scrap I will knock it out and post a picture.
  6. openspaceman
    I think you are both right in that the check valve should prevent air being sucked back from the choke tube when the purge bulb is used and as there was a very fine stream of bubbles in the purge circuit this check valve leaking would explain that. The jet protrusion looks okay. The red circled check valve looks like it is the only exit from the metering chamber and definitly connects to the main jet. There is one idle drilling forward of the butterfly and a few under it when closed. These latter must have been drilled before the large welch plug was fitted. Either way this check valve is passing fuel in both directions and if I cannot get the thing out and replace it the carb is toast.

    Deleted due to insert text editing problem

    It did but as the carb is off the saw it is not connected. This saw has a remote bulb with one way valves in the bulb body. I have marked the outlet hole for the purge circuit in blue.

    No the026 was a thread divergence, I fixed that and am now back on the faulty carb from the Einhell/spear&jackson
  10. openspaceman
    Ah. No I have not removed anything, if it were why would it connect to both the main jet and the HI adjusting screw passage? Either way it passes air both ways when I place a plastic tube over it and blow and suck.

    Not wanting to go out to play in the rain I took the walbro wt840a 748 carb metering diaphragm off When cleaner is squirted through the HI adjuster screw hole it comes out of the main jet and through the red circled check valve. Rowena don't list the wt840a this high in the series so I don't know if the check valve is available. I suppose I should just screw a self tapper in to the check valve to pull it out? A google shows this carb is used in radio controlled cars
  12. openspaceman
    Fixed with a chinky coil. It was a problem with the plug cap I think.
  13. openspaceman
    Okay my mistake for not reading the thread thoroughly. As it is a system flue the joints should be fine and the exhaust should flow at a fairly constant rate, without any cold brickwork or convolutions to cause any eddying back. So I can only assume it is something to do with the location as being insulated twin wall it should warm up quickly.
  14. openspaceman
    Yes that is sweet chestnut especially with the ring shake in the stump
  15. openspaceman
    What diameter is the flue passage in the chimney and is the register plate well sealed where the flue enters the chimney?
  16. openspaceman
    Interesting but I need correction for astigmatism too.
  17. openspaceman
    They are but it was mean not to annotate them 😉
  18. openspaceman
    Smell is a good confirmation either way because both are distinctive. If you look at the knot in the bottom log of the second photo you will see the heartwood is very small but there is a broad band of sapwood and few very wide ings. Sweet chestnut is mostly heartwood often with only one sapwood ring.

    Willow killed by honey fungus then?

    The cheese shaped wedge cut out of the front face of the tree to control felling direction, sometimes called the gob.
  21. openspaceman
    So the soil gets put on top of the cut stems?
  22. openspaceman
    I doubt it, tap it lightly with a hammer to see if the sound suggests it is not attached, a hollow sound, around the tree.
  23. openspaceman
    First picture seems to show some exit holes higher up so the damage may be from an animal, maybe badger?, scratching the bark off to get at grubs. It does suggest an underlying problem with the tree.
  24. openspaceman
    Yes and the only stage performance I saw was outclassed by McCartney on the same bill,
  25. openspaceman
    Again didn't like the ziggy stuff but Heroes strikes a chord for me
