I try and remember to start my engines periodically so they're not left standing too long. Particularly for things that are not used for several months at a time like the chainsaw. The two strokes usually take a bit of getting going. The JCB with its yellow iron ingot 4 1/2 litre Perkins starts beautifully, even if it's been standing outdoors through the winter. There's a generator I bought in early 2019 that still starts first pull. It's supposed to be electric start but the little battery goes down very quickly; however I only have to pull the string once, so it's no great hardship. The secondhand Hayter Condor mower with a Honda engine is pull start but usually very good except when it's full of water. It tends to 'hunt' when merely left running, but under load it runs steadily and strongly.

My understanding is (from a PUBMED paper) is that the preferred/ideal ratios of lipids are:
View attachment 316762
So you only need a few figures/checkpoints to work out for yourself if your lipids are Optimal/Moderate/Or High.
When I challenged the Dr. on the phone he "folded". Maybe because he realised I was not a pleb.

That is enlightening.
I just had a wee scope on Triglycerides and found this.
www.mayoclinic.org

Can triglycerides affect my heart health?

Like cholesterol, triglycerides can cause health problems. Here's how to lower your triglycerides.
www.mayoclinic.org www.mayoclinic.org

It points out that for an accraute TG test you need to fast, so I am wondering if you did that.
It also lists alternatives to statins, I am wondering if he offered you niacin which would seem to be agood and maybe more "natural" one.

Apart from daring to eat red meat and doing v little excercise I am sure that drinking at least half a bot of wine a day is part of the problem. Although when I did dry January a year or two back I lost absolutely no weight at all and felt no better for it either.
But thanks for this post. I'll bookmark it so I can reread the figures in the future.;):)

As for the "folding" I usually only have to tell them that my mother was a doctor and suddenly they start to talk sense. I think if I pushed my GP he'd tell me, but the last little chat about cholestreol and statins was a side-issue after a blood test I had had to see if I had a dodgy prostate or not, which thankfully I don't. So I hadn't fasted neither!

Reduce the oil in a 2 stroke :oops: was he having a stroke ffs 🤣🤣 My strimmer think its a jcb 20 years old & I use it once
a year. It goes through 2 tanks of fuel also I have a cheapo b&Q chainsaw pro somit same 20 years old.
Both never had a new plug or fuel filter cause id just chuck em than spend any money on them, anyhoo when they run out
of fuel I fill them up & add 1 cap full of 2 stroke oil into the tank & give it a good shake to mix 🤣
They always start n run perfect in fact the little saw out ran my mates Stihl & Huskey saws when they were running all morning
then wouldnt start n cutting out the little saw never missed a beat. 🤣🤣 His face was a picture. :D:D

That's great!
And at 50 :1 there is no way I'd be reducing the oil in the mix.
The 4 stroke takes a feed from the top of the cylinder head, or somewhere, so oil gets into that fuel too. :stars::stars::stars:.
I disconnected the pipe from the air inlet but it made no difference.

I think the age of your machines may be a factor, my oldest, the wheeled jobby, is the oldest, apart from the 4 stroke strimmer/brushcutter and seems to be the strongest. An Olio-mac Italian number.

So BIG question. How do YOU store them??????

(And in a little aside there was a Merkin on tother thread who reckoned it was easier to store engines up norff in Merka than darn saff?!)

They do mussels "marinieres" which is the normal way, (white wine and lickle onion s etc I fink), "curry" which would be a joke and the one wot I had, strong blue cheese made form ewe's milk and brewed in caves.

Do you eat shellfish?
I'm not much of a fan but have a bit every now and then.

I'd agree with that, especially if the fool tank is metal. But not much diff between emptying the tank and brimming it, except it is easier to do on a piece of hand held equipment.

All the tanks on my hand-held equipment are plastic anyway.

some are now saying that if you empty a tank the few droplets that inevitably stay in it will then dry and leave behind the vasrnish deposits which cause the problems. I cannot see that cos the fuel filters are very fine indeed.

But there are two issues here, the water/ethanol content of fuel and the effects of it drying out inside a carb, which aren't the same thing. and think a lot of people are confusing the two.

If only......
Having to leave the place for 6 months at a time precludes that.

But the genny that I hadn't started for absolutely ages (4 stroke) started fairly easily when I trial started it last year.
 
W staying in bed as she is suffering after having eaten a full meal yessdi. Only ever does this when we go out and eat and even then.:(
As the weather is great I am off out to prepare the chicken run i.e. get rid of the huge weeds as best I can with no strimmer/brushcutter, and mend the ramp in the hen-house. Yet again.:rolleyes:

Have a good one folks!:):):)
