Cheers cat178, so I have checked the jets I can see in the carb they look clean, took the cap of tank in case it was drawing a vacuum, none of these made any difference still struggled to start for 5 mins and then away it goes again as happy as can be, weird.......

Got a wee problem with my tow behind Wessex Flail mower, it has a Briggs and Stratton 16HP ( I think) engine. It will start with the pull cord from cold perfectly with the choke remaining out for 5 seconds, it will then run perfectly on full revs while flailing for about 25 minutes and then it will cut out and die. I then do the usual disengage the belt drive, put the Rev lever back to idle and pull the pull cord, it try's to catch, trying a bit harder as I quickly pull out and in the choke, die, pull pull cord again and the same just about catching, after doing this for 5 minutes it will catch and go to full revs again and stay there for 25 minutes again and so the same process will go on and on. Thought it was the fuel filter as it didn't look too healthy, changed that, no difference. Any ideas please?

Any industrial units near by you that do powder coating. Take it to them.

Called the stroboscopic effect, and as you pointed out for obvious reasons can be dangerous in machine shops. To counteract it, fluorescent lights round about the machinery are taken off different phases of a 3 phase supply so in effect each light is flickering at a different time. Also different types of lighting can be used, for example a normal incandescent task lights at the lathe, which is in effect a white hot coil of wire and doesn't suffer the same amount of flicker because it doesn't get a chance to cool.

I bought a 10W LED floodlight mounted it onto a scaffold tube I had welded onto an old brake disk. So the brake disk acts as a base plate the scaffold tube is vertical, used an exhaust clamp on the tube to mount the light, works great and is portable if I need it for something else other than sitting behind my lathe.

how easy is it to convert 3 phase machines into 240v???
roys replied to se7enthdevil's topic in General chat
As Robbo90 I used Drives Direct to buy a converter.to run my 3 phase Colchester Master lathe, works a treat. I used to use a rotary converter to generate my 3 phase, but these are inefficient and noisy, the electronic unit is much better on my failing ears. -
Instead of cutting lots of blocks why not just use something like a tile baton nailed or screwed horizontally top, bottom and maybe middle, with your vertical boards as is alternating on either side of the tile baton if you see what I mean. Interesting thread.

That would be a good outcome htc178, goes part way to justifying their fees.

I also feel sorry for seller (as well as the buyer who has no detector) neither party has done any wrong, also remember all the threads we have had that as sellers we complain about buyers destroying chainsaws etc. and then complain to seller and eBay for refund. I often use Hermes when I'm selling as it has insurance, is there any insurance with this delivery, certainaly worth asking seller about it.

I split Sycamore on a regular basis, no probs with it, I use a splitting maul. Take it you have the piece you are about to split on a good solid piece of wood underneath it so that the ground does not absorb all the energy you are putting into the maul swing?

Felt a wee nippy pain just at the top of my boot line, pulled up my trouser leg and there was my first of the season tick having a good bite on me. Been taking them of the dog for the last two weeks, Frontline back on her. I hate ticks.

How did you know I had tennis elbow as well? For tennis elbow I got it sorted by a combination of physio and a couple sessions of acupuncture. The acupuncture takes the edge of pain and allows you to start using and building the elbow strength and mobility back up. The physio main exercise ( there was about 4 of them) was a light weight 1 or 2 kg, sit down elbow on seat end or at hip, palm down roughly where your knee is weight in hand, now bend wrist up and down slowly but loads of reps, on the up stroke assist and support with other hand. So the strain is on the down stroke. Do about 4 sessions a day, building reps up to about 100 in the end before my mine came good.

Had the knackered shoulders, had to go private in the end to get them operated on, what a difference, would pay again if I needed to, the pain before the op is just miserable. The first shoulder was key hole but still fairly invasive and took about a year to get back to full strength, the last one was just air getting injected into the joint to realign it, fabulous and back to full strength in weeks rather than months.

That is a cracking pic from 2002

I am in the middle of doing one up, it is from the 1970's and the 8 wheeler, it is far from being ready due to time constraints, however I did buy the Aldi's impact gun to help progress
-
Just got one myself as well, looks decent enough.

Right time to post a couple pics of my dog, she is a wire haired Vizsla, great natured dog. One pic is of her showing of her tongue and the other one is her and me chilling after lunch.
