I thought it was going to be a thread about recipes

Send it back and get one that fits properly a tap is going to cost you as much as a new clutch.

I saw a wasp on Sunday, it was studying a brick wall very closely. The longer they stay away the better as I have a phobia. When I get them round me I look like I'm boxing the invisible man I have been told.

Some Loncin engines use Honda spares, try Abbey garden sales they might help as they sell Loncin engines.

You want something like Scooter shack or sixteener special but really they are very simple. A few makes use the same power unit in different mopeds and you can get anything for them. Different belts and variator weights are what makes a difference to how they go and variators are restricted from the factory but easily modified. Is it a runner ?

I tried the search for chain for my 135 but it would not give me the option of 14" bar or 3/8" chain it says 13", 15" or 18" in .325.

Youtube here from 2012 of a chap on a motorbike who got hit by a falling branch, the odds are high but it must happen occasionally. Mute it cos he is a bit verbal. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgqChIRJsX8[/ame]

What if it's green ?

Root balls tend to have a lot of figuring in them as well if you can get hold of any big butts that Jon hasn't claimed

Is it an underwater processor ? That is a hand held unit for use underwater so odds on it will have no lube for the bar.

Not necessarily, you can build timber frames and fill in with straw bales or skin with brick outside or you could go back to wattle and daub timber frame Tudor style.

Green side up remember

Not really Scottish but...

I thought flounce was an abbreviation for fluid ounce, you learn something new every day here.

They look very similar to a Hitachi saw I looked at a while ago.

No they make holes

Dream on loser, he's only 5' 2"

Years ago we were roofing a two storey outhouse round at a friend's house and left the ladder leant up while we had a brew. When we went back out my friend's son who was only a couple of years old was just trying to get off the top of the ladder onto the roof about 24 feet in the air. Friend was up the ladder like a shot and carried him back down like a fire rescue. I like the way the kid in the picture climbs better than he walks.

You'll probably notice bees going into the curled leaves after the honeydew secreted by the aphids, we have it on our tree. I usually just cut the infected part off and throw it in the bin.

Next door brought a strimmer for me to look at last year and it wouldn't fire. I put some fuel down the plug and pulled it over and it ran but was clattering nicely till the added fuel ran out. I took the plastic off and pulled and the bolts were loose and the piston was lifting the pot up and down with it. I tightened them down and it fired straight away and ran nicely. This had been to a garden machinery centre to be looked at and they charged him £30 to tell him it was broken and had made no effort to fix it.

Yes it's part of the natural cycle for them and helps to clear the dead material from the heart so the new shoots can get more light. My next door neighbour tried cutting his down and burning it and it thrived on it.

Only once ?

What's this thread about ? When I was a lad I worked at a woodyard and we were fetching some timber in for cutting. I slid a length onto the wagon and the boss was supposed to get the other end and pull. I let go and it was not far enough on so it lifted and hit him causing a severe graze on his old man which he had to have bandaged for a few days causing him great embarrassment ans us much amusement.

Not a customer but next door but one neighbour asked if I could help him erect a shed he had ordered from a local wood sales who build to order tongue and groove construction. We laid some blocks to level the floor and set it up then felted the roof and it was a really solid good looking potting shed which cost around £400. Next door bought a shed from a catalogue and her and the bloke put it up, ship lap walls and OSB floor and roof, cost £450 and the roof has sagged, floor is split and there are gaps in the sides with knots falling out and it's not been up a year yet.

I dug mine out with a spade just by undercutting it then I had to cut it in three pieces to be able to lift it into the barrow. There was a lot of dead stuff in the middle and it had all-sorts living in it at one time or another including hedgehogs. It outgrew it's situation or I would have left it there but my wife wanted to grow vegetables so it had to go.
