Thank you...I think.

Thank you for joining in my particular fray. I take your point about colder mornings, although here it is not yet dropping below about 16° inside the barn or outside. Having said that, even if I occasionally leave the car our in snow overnight, I never seems to notice. I am reassured that by...

Thanks for the quick reply. My (flawed ?) logic suggested that this petrol and alcohol mix might have damaged a seal or something fragile somewhere. I should have mentioned that the little green machine, to the left, which is running on the same fuel, from the same source,started running rough...

P38A , 1998, 4.0, LPG + PETROL. Good afternoon, good people. One often reads of folk who have put diesel in the petrol tank and vice versa and I suspect that most of us have thought, I’d never do anything so daft. Ho hum. No, I have NOT put diesel in my tank, but I wonder if I what have...

Personally I wouldn't even prune the roses, wearing nothing more than gloves and safety boots, but each to his own of course.

Sorry chaps, I've been off for a while so haven't been keeping up. Somehow, my connection to a site called Landyzone has re-directed me to this very interesting Gardenzone. Just as a matter of interest, may I offer my own observation on personal safety. Like others here I was agin chainsaws...

Perhaps our wives would like to exchange views on their respective chainsaws. Then again, perhaps not - they'd probably end up exchanging views on their respective spouses.

Terrific. With a lathe like that you could invade Poland. Not sure whom I am paraphrasing there, so please, no offence intended to anyone.

Thank you for the additional input on the dangers. I have learnt a lesson here - I just hope I have not learnt it the hard way.

Under the box itself ? I like that idea very much. I have any number of hard-ish rubber washers I can use. In case it is not already well-known among the fraternity, I rescued them from those wired-top lemonade bottles - I knew they would be useful.

Afternoon J. Is that "aggravated", as in "knackered" ? Sounds as if you have "previous" in this department. I don't think I have done much more than 1 km on full height and obviously only at low speed or the height would have kicked down. Suppose you wouldn't care to "quantify" serious ? now...

Good afternoon Henry. Thank you for taking the trouble to wade in on this. As others have said, you have made it very clear. You have even told me that I should have 6 dished washers. I have only ever had 3, plus 3 plain washers. Wonder when that happened. Now I must go looking for three more...

Let me know if you are still struggling with the diagnostics. I think I can probably send you a copy of Mr Storey's wizardy. Also tell me if you still need an unzip program. I think I can send you either WinZip or something similar. I doubt if we can do it on here, so if I can help, PM me and...

I thought of mountings and checked in case they were not tightened sufficiently or even tightened too much. I didn't consider orientation. Without going out to look, I can't remember which way up the washers are at present. I was never quite sure which way was right as long as there was metal to...

Good morning chaps. Hey, it's all gone a bit quiet on here, so I thought I'd better stir things up. My suspenders continue to function well after all the help I received on this forum. From all the input I got, I understood that pumping up the system from zero should not take more than a few...

..,.and I think they only fitted them to fretsaws and the "Hobby" range of jigsaws.

Does it have a Merlin engine or is it the rare model with a radial engine ?

I love this type of old kit that is usually so heavy it doesn't need bolting down. A photo would be nice.

Sorry, I should have said that this was/is only a quick (very quick) get-you-home solution and takes but a few seconds. More often than not, the "fix" would last days or even weeks before I lost cooling again. I should also have mentioned that you need to tap the assembly while it is actually...

Thank you. I'll certainly add him to my growing collection
