Spud is correct. Piston isnt visible....not by removing the exhaust or even the carb. I do have a list somewhere which i made up for new machines we sell of their compression psi. Particularly the 4 mix and the little honda gx25 and 35's etc which have a similar valve arrangement and just as impossible to view the piston. I will did it out and come back to you, although i do have a feeling in the stihl wsm they do give an idea of what is the factory psi, so may be worth a google. I know honda do, and something is telling me they did the same with one of their 4 mix engines of the stihl. If you know someone with a borescope then remove the plug and have a look inside..still wont be able to view the side of the piston by you will be able to see any scoring or surface transfer to the barrel

Hmmmm.....There was 1 death registered in London in the period 2001 to 2021 which had exposure to air pollution recorded on the death certificate in either part 1 or part 2 of the death certificate. This death was attributed to environmental air pollution, however we are unable to determine whether this involved car emissions.

Apparently if you pay the Ulze fee your 'polluting' vehicle automatically becomes environmentally friendly for the day in question.

'Battery equipment still has a long way to come' Agree...we've had a lot of warranty rejected on battery stuff due to damp in the electrics. Most 'normal' domestic users have a shed in the garden where they store their kit...particularly over winter. Battery stuff doesn't like anything other than a warm climate to be stored as damp plays havoc with PCB's. My customers have gone nuts being told Stihl won't pay out for a repair as effectively Stihl are saying the machines should be stored in the house over winter, if the shed isn't heated!

If you've ridden a motorcycle behind a non sheeted load of sand on a windy day you would soon realise why it's a sensible idea

If she went like a train, then I think I could have tolerated not watching Blackadder with her and maybe going to the odd Cliff Richard concert once a year.......although from my experience female Cliff fans are as celibate as he makes out to be.

Womens football seemingly 'must' have women pundits and commentators, but few if any men. Mens football 'seemingly' must have women pundits and commentators as well, but not a few.

I have wondered exactly why if one celebrity is outwardly gay they 'must' have a same sex partner. Why? Why can't a gay guy dance with a straight girl, or even a gay girl? After all it's about the dancing...not who they may or may not be attracted to?

I'm watching the darts

Led Zeppelin. Technically brilliant............but as the songs go I think you needed to be stoned. Very overated, but liked by those 'thinking people' who think they were cool, because they weren't a mainstream 'pop' chart act. Which is fine....if the music was any good...which generally it wasn't

Reminds me of a joke that done the rounds at school at the time. Mark Bolan was on the radio today.................and the steering wheel, the windscreen and the dashboard.

Think I'll skip the fries and go straight for the fillet o' fish thanks.

This is true. I often listen to machinery operators as i pass them and think 'thats not running right' but if you were to stop and ask they would think it were fine. I got so fed up listening to my neighbour mowing his lawn the other side of the fence this year with his mower constantly hunting i cured it for him. New carb diaphragm on the briggs engine and running as smooth as a smooth thing after. Bloke though the hunting sound was normal.

99% of mccullochs were b& q homebase crap fodder, but the did make an alternative range for the specialist dealer to sell and were call the promac range. As the name suggests they were pro quality machines. I recall years ago selling the hedge cutters....made in italy. Nothing chinese then. Yours looks like it could be a promac model, but difficult to make out. If you can get it running for a few quid, then use it until it goes bang. The promac models are very old now, and if its a b&q special then launch it

It's made with evaporated milk, so unlikely to be the same milk they add to it. Never heard of it served with custard. When I was at school it was always served as it is with half a green apple on the side

Well, if it is a 'carb thing' then this model is really easy to work on, and even the pattern carbs for 20 quid or so are pretty good. Whip the exhaust off and have a look at the piston, that would be my next logical step. Symptoms seem lean mix due to poor compression or air leak...possibly crank seals. But exhaust off and take a look at the condition of the piston next

The sad thing is, when i was at school in the 70's no one would have batted an eyelid to that suggestion.....assuming it hadn't already been thought of. And in reality it still is a very reasonable suggestion......back in the day, parents would have even been asking for it, but now you are not allowed to categorise or for want of a better word 'shame' people. Which is why we have obesity, drug dependency and alcoholism......I think when people were shamed to be fat or a druggie or a pisshead they may have done something about it. Now it is supposed to be 'normal' because you cannot criticise it. You make it 'normal' and when people think it's normal, they don't need to do anything about it. No shame anymore....it's illegal.

Its a traditional kent dessert. Very nice, but quite sickly. Morrison branches in kent sell it on a regular basis according to one of my relatives that live there

They are starting to realise the advances in medical science finding cures for this and that, and prolonging illnesses which 20 or 30 years ago would have been terminal within a few months, thus creating an ageing population who will continue to draw state pension and all the other subsidised government 'perks' actually is costing a lot more money on the system than they thought. Getting to the point there will be more taking out than putting in the pot.

I only hear americans stating that

A few years ago we had a cat that was on regular monthly medication for the rest of her life....was costing me around £40 a month, so looked online. Identical stuff was £25 so went to order and they asked for a copy of the vets 'prescription' before they could sell to me. Went to vet and they said, yes we know you can get it cheaper online, but that's our price. If you want a copy of the vets prescription to take away every month so you can buy it online it will cost you £10 per month as the prescription is only valid for 30 days....it costs us time and money to produce a prescription which is why we charge. I think they thought for a saving of 'only' a fiver a month I wouldn't bother going elsewhere...but I did just out of spite!
