On hols this week Gary, back in Tuesday though till Friday, then off again for a week ?[emoji106] had to get my holidays in or i’d lose em. But yeah all is normal for me at the minute, we’re classed as key workers, 6 weekly inspections and maintenance still has to go ahead for O’licence/Laws etc, cement still gota supply the building industry, windfarms, HS2, Whitby tunnel, Hinckley point, sellafield etc, they still all require the magic grey dust. Things may change in the future but who knows just yet?.... time will tell, i’m just taking it day by day. Financially i should be ok, so just fingers crossed we can all weather the storm as they say ?[emoji106]

Can buy creams for that!..... although i dont think they’ll do a tube big enough for you [emoji4]

Back on the man cave build last couple of days, been digging 8” of shite out all the way round the building then filling back up with some 40mm to dust stone, and whackering it down ready to lay 4” aco drains. Will post some updated pics when i take some tomoz. More building materials being delivered Monday which is a bonus with whats going on regards businesses shutting up shop temporarily. Tidied the front garden up a bit, seeing odd things starting to bud and open up, apple tree showing signs too. Birds are in and out of the bird baths in droves. Keeps the smiles and spirits up watching nature change. Plenty to be on with [emoji847][emoji106]

EMPLOYEE NOTICE Due to the current financial situation caused by the Corona Virus and slowdown in the economy, the Government has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early, mandatory retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early). Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the Government to be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as the Government deems appropriate. Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance). Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by the Government. Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The Government has always prided themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your TD, who has been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle. Sincerely, The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.) PS - Due to Corona Virus, recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, The Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

I’d plumb for full carb clean / new kit / reset metering arm when done as peatff suggests. Just check the impulse line too though, (crankcase to air intake) they can pop off or split causing a poor revs / stall scenario like you have.
