    Autotune

    Start it up till it's warm then stop it, tip the fuel out and start it up again. Leave it ticking over till it runs out.
  2. I regularly cut 12" with my 135 and it never struggles as long as you don't let it pinch. That's on a 14" bar.
  3. Build the threads up with something like JBweld, wait till it starts to tack off then grease the inside of the cap and screw it on lightly. Take it back off after an hour or so. Can't guarantee it but it's worth a try.
  4. I laugh in the face of danger, I don't like getting cold and wet though so I stay in.
  5. Is it this type of splitter. The seller is not anonymous and has reasonable feedback. It looks like you pay your money and take your chance PP but if you are handy with the tools and ready to tinker they could be a good prospect.
  6. When do you find time to refuel and repair it, it must be running non-stop.
  7. A friend of mine got shunted a couple of years ago and the other driver claimed whiplash injuries for himself and 3 family member passengers who were not even in the car at the time of the accident. Another had a bump from behind and the other drivers car was written off by the insurance who claimed my friend reversed into him at speed, he was on a Kawasaki ZX9 at the time and when he notified the other insurance of this they didn't even apologise. The bloke who hit him had been on Jeremy Kyle show the week previously and thought he was famous or something.

    Sheet metal

    Steel or aluminium ? You just say metal. What are you using it for ? Metal that thin will bend easily in use and will stretch and ding easily after as well.

    Repair job

    The springs are like that to take out vibrations, if you put thicker ones in they won't work and you'll get numb fingers.

    Repair job

    Next time you're cutting just put the thumb of your left hand on top of the top cover and feel what a pummelling it gets and you'll feel a bit more sympathy for the AV spring
  11. It's not classed as overtime for them they only get single time for it as it's their contracted hours. You can turn overtime down it you don't want it.
  12. Would that be prostate problems ? I have no problems getting prostrate PS I'm same age as Stubby and still like to look.
  13. Get some 6 point sockets so it doesn't happen again. If it's a 13mm head I would weld a bigger washer to it, something like M10 or M12 through the hole then weld a nut to that.
  14. It's carried in suspension, that's why it is deposited and not carried away as a liquid with the water. Here's a safety and health guideline document, read item 7 under chemical and physical properties.
  15. I'll probe you ?
  16. I've made a few PVC whistles out of overflow pipe from plans on this site. The mouthpiece will be different for a transverse flute but the hole spacings and sizes should be similar for similar size tubes whatever material.

    wood floor

    Leave some expansion room. A friend of mine laid his oak parquet tight up to the skirting boards and it lifted itself when it got damp.
  18. Our garden looks nice when it's under a coat of snow It's snowing Metsaman, we'd call that a blizzard here
  19. No more suggestions from me then
  20. I bet a squirrel planted it.

    Ms 230

    How good is the spark and how much fuel is getting through ? Not enough or too much can be a problem and the air to fuel ratio must be right as well.
  22. Calcium carbonate (chalk) is insoluble so I don't see how they could have achieved this.
  23. Cleanstore do a similar glove made by Mapa. I've had ordinary Mapa grip gloves and they are good.
  24. It should help with extraction

    Pigeons

    If you disturb them enough they do get the huff and go somewhere else. I had a flock on the roof and just kept throwing a tennis ball up and scattering them and they moved three doors up.
