  1. It was JONSEREDS with s on the end, did they change it ?
  2. It's nice and quiet so I can't see anyone noticing.
  3. Fuel metering or internal gauze filter blocked. Clean the carb out and check the diaphragm for holes or sagging as they do get baggy eventually.
  4. Don't take it seriously, it's all in jest Use your Ryobi and keep the chain sharp. Is it the easy tension version ?
  5. Someone tried to give me a Ryobi because it wasn't working. I got my own back on him by fixing it and returning it. How much did you pay for it?
  6. Why would you buy a second hand Ryobi ?
  7. I honestly don't think I could reduce my annual anchovy consumption any lower than it's present level, I'll have to look elsewhere to economise.
  8. You look ready for a new tractor, I'll find room for your old one
  9. When I was sheeting and shunting trailers the boards were rough reddish wood. There was always a supply of them in the depot for repairs and I am pretty sure they were Iroco. Poplar I've left outside turns to mush in no time.
  10. You get what you pay for in most instances, the Buffalo board others are suggesting is just the same but with a non slip chequered top finish and a higher price to match.
  11. If rain is running down the face of the horizontal boards and the wind is blowing it will force it in through the gaps. Why not vertical same as fencing ?
  12. They're not banned just going out of production aren't they ? Hutzl will start making them with a Holzforma badge on.
  13. You know you would if you were flexible enough.
  14. Mick in the second post got it I think. It doesn't look that big a job.
  15. Phenolic resin ply is the material a lot of trailers are floored with, it's not cheap stuff though. Any good sheeting supplier should be able to supply it but there are always sellers on eBay.
  16. I've never accidentally put my leg on the trestle while cutting firewood. A bloke I was working with a long time ago put a saw down on the end of his boot while it was still running down, that was the only accident I actually saw with my own eyes.
  17. It's a pity the drivers aren't as smart as the road
  18. Probably the piston rocking without the rings on it ?
  19. 45cc home user saw it's done well to last any length of time milling. I'd look at something a lot bigger and probably a second hand Stihl if that's your choice of machine.
  20. I think you are feeding a troll here lads, the name doesn't really encourage answers.
  21. If you shop around you will find the 545 at about £470, F R Jones and a few others have it. 4.9 kg it sounds a good option.
  22. You need a welder to stick a small nut to it so you can grab it with some grips and wiggle it out. Weld a washer on it first through the hole then the nut on top. Grab it while it's still hot and it will come out easier.
  23. The bearings only need a minimal amount of decent quality oil that's why the mix ratio in the fuel is so low nowadays. I'd just cut the frazzled bits off the cover and carry on using it till I got a replacement.
  24. What does this mean? The oil is in the fuel not under pressure.
