  1. Just asking justme So what licence do you need to pull a 1.5 t trailer with the trannie or a land rover when you say with a c1 all you can tow is 750kg
  2. Yes, I agree with paddy. If you haven’t changed the plug for a new one, and are feeling tight or can’t get to the shop to buy a new one. Then swap the plugs around, and see if the problem is the same or now on the other side 🤔 Edit spark plugs sometimes do odd things when under pressure or when they get hot. I,m sure you can guess this checks two things by swapping the plugs around and is easy compared to swapping coils around.👍
  3. That’s why I was asking the op. As I had a license just like the op, then the ddvla added the 107 at the end (this was covered in a thread before). I don’t mine what license he has, it’s was just to educate the op, so he doesn’t get nabbed by the cops at some point in time. btw you can drag a bigger trailer with the appropriate vehicle but your total limit is 8.25 afairc with that code 107
  4. Just a bit of clarification, do you have any numbers after the bit where it says you can drive up to 12t combo truck and trailer. Ie 107
  5. Not being funny. And this is how I see it. any tree that is less than 32cm is not protected. this leaves the other trees. what I think you need to work out is how big is a 50yr old tree it it’s surroundings using Mitchell's rule, which I’d say is a little ambiguous and not easy to follow as not all trees behave the same, species Etc. read page 2 of this link. And I think you would need to cut some to see if your measurements and calculations are in the ball park ie cut a tree down that’s about 32cm and use the rule to calculate and count the rings, then work out what a protected tree should be . https://www.chilternsaonb.org/uploads/files/AboutTheChilterns/Woodlands/The_Why_and_How_of_Tree_Measurement.pdf btw i,m sure you could find other links to read about Mitchell,s rule. And as the council have been vague then I,m sure if you aired on the side of caution you,d be on the right footings but keep good records. Because as Mitchell says there are exceptions 😉. this and your records may be your defence.
  6. Well that piston looks a lot better than I expected as well as the cylinder. And thanks for the honest reply about the carb. It was for simple clarification I posted the ipl pic of the carb even thou adw said about it first. 👍😉
  7. What’s a W licence ,, 👍
  8. All good answers so far, no 31 in andy's list very important I’ve used it countless times 😉 I have a runny nose in pollen season. and sometimes a runny bottom 🤫. In curry season 🤣 Some sort of dust mask s and eye protection other than the helmet visor (sunglasses or and safety specs ) a bit of wood (short plank) to screw on the end of the log to prop the ladder on. It gives it a more stable level, because sometimes when working out the pith to pith you need it . I usually put two screws in the plank top inside edge to help stop the ladder moving on the plank i use the builders banding strap ove the ladder rungs with shortish screws. But don’t forget how far the screws are in the log 🙄
  9. Can you get a pic of the top of the piston, ie from the exhaust with the piston a bit lower. i know there will be carbon, but I,m wondering about detonation. Looking at the edge of the piston. another thing to look, if you can. While the piston is lower in the bore and light is coming in the exhust, look through the spark plug hole and see if you can see any scoring. you can also get a different angle looking at the top of the piston. Not that you will easily get a pic this way. the fuel in the air filter, does sound like wrongly set meatering leaver or diaphragm on carb then gasket. if you look at the pic you will see the basic way they go. if you have a zamma carb you should be able to find your carb here for more detail http://www.zamacorp.com/carburetors.html edit it maybe running rough because of scoring, and you could be getting a reasonable compression due to fuel and oil
  10. The outcome of the tree Survey will be interesting, Then the reply from the TO of the survey and proposed works will be even more interesting.😉👍
  11. You could just get a AM carb kit. From what I understand they work. But my suggestion is try and fix the oem carb, rather than an AM carb.
  12. I’d say it’s 45\50 ft, and that’s guessing the hedge next to it is 6ft, then multiplying that height. You want to look at the long winded thread about some oak removal in London somewhere. I will find a link for you.🤔 bottom line just get three quotes. Then ask here. and I’ve just seen your reply, 3 times twice the height of your house is 48 ft so I weren’t far off edit for the oak thread 🙈
  13. I had a look around, found the 690 service manual, it should be pretty much the same, as you will see the models it covers. 😉 as I was looking through it, I,m not sure if you have one fitted , I know in the USA and other dry places they have to have a spark screen in the exhaust..if you have one and it’s blocked that will give low power. heres the link to the service manual. https://www.lindec.com/download/14043667571_Honda_GX630-660-690-workshop_manual.pdf and as you can see from the screenshot I took. Low power is because of some of the things I said before 👍 edit this 670 manual http://cdn.powerequipment.honda.com/engines/pdf/manuals/00X37Z6C6120.pdf
  14. Engine governor working ok ..?
  15. I'm not really sure if I can help.. but if I ask you 1 or 3 Questions, it may help you decide where to look next. May sound silly,, Is the choke off ? When you cleaned the carb did you clean the jet an the thing that airrates the fuel was the oil changed at regular intervals, and what intervals were they. Oil can be good, but when it’s used by date comes by ( oil change interval) it don’t work like it should. did it use more oil ? Before you had the problem ? Does it burn oil, ie smoky on startup etc. How old is the engine and how many hrs has it run approx A suggestion is low compression, and ring wear. check compression if low, I,d be looking at the ring end gap etc. like I said engines wear a lot more when run too long on old oil as it don’t have its lubricant Quality like New or oil does. the spark plug colour tells a story as well..
  16. I think he,s gone up a Wong way street. 🤔
  17. Can you link to the document that superseded the older doc cheers
  18. I had a read of the blue book chapter 9, I can’t believe the cheating TO tried to pull the wool over your eyes. I guess he will remember his slack approach in future 👍
  19. You could try rough hewn, he's in Yorkshire, check out his Instagram page. roughhewnuk. https://instagram.com/roughhewnuk?igshid=7u6kwy4g0047 Give Saul a call/ email
  20. Coos bay cut was on my cs31 👍 yes for small trees when you can’t bore cut them. as most of you will know, 50cc saws used and 15 “ bars are used on the coarse. i successfully did a danish pie, aka safe corner. On the coarse . The instructor said not many people like that cut and most do a dogs tooth. so maybe if you used a bigger saw and longer bar, you may have a little trouble bore cutting, But it should still be relatively easy with a small gob cut and easy to over do the gob cut. I understand tree species is a factor as well. Anyhow it’s good to practice some cuts when you get a chance 😉👍
  21. Nah,, just needed 16 sq mts, measured at the small end 😜 I ended up roughly milling 20 sq mts 👍 you know, best be safe and have to much an all that. 😉 edit I managed to set the ladder and cut the tops off 8 logs, then mill 5sq mts the first day. the second day I milled 15 sq mts
  22. This was the product of 2 days work 1.5 inch thick and 7.5 ft long
  23. It was in amongst this lot and my view was great, not that I looked at the horizon much
  24. Well today was the day I found a Seal or 2 😉 in the woods. 😂😂
