my back is fine with pushing a wheelbarrow.

all the hard work was done by my friend.

nah i reckon it would fit, its his ego im not sure about....

ive never learned to take a photo that actually gives a decent perspective, but the side wall is cut down to about half height.

although paypal will pay return postage there is a limit and im fairly sure its lower than £50...

thats no ones idea of a finished part. id be embarrassed to put my name to that....

powdercoating wont last long when the socket bites to do them up.

id have them electroplated instead.

This arrived today... https://i.imgur.com/3tLj24lh.jpg?1 Well it arrived on Monday but the local delivery office is only open for 2 hours in the morning except Thursdays. I don't get how changing opening hours of somewhere that is staffed all day is affected by covid. Any who, the are the only ones ...

that would do it, too

I took the PZ out for a 20 mile jaunt. Done 80 miles on a quarter of a tank so far......oooooo I might join the club! Plugged it in to the battery charger when I got home and also removed the cover from the 192. All this talk of destroyed paint work has spooked me so I am going to risk exposure to ...

Rest. Pretty much all they can do. I've had it for a while apparently, several years most likely, so not much risk of it getting worse unless I'm stupid.

i was wondering why I was having so much trouble getting on with the digging, you saw the pitiful pile that i managed, and that took me all day... :shock: I'm not kidding. I thought I was just unfit, turns out not so much..... I had a appointment with a doctor (been booked for ages, covid and all th...

but at less than 2 months old, i don't think its going to be ready for a while

Are there any performance,economy or longevity gains to be had by deleting air pump?

no measurable ones as far as i can tell...

however, one of the side effects is you can have the cold start map leaned out a lot, which makes it almost impossible to flood...

Yes that's the idea, in practice for what I want it's about right on the slowest speed. Also down the left there are a load of gears, these can be changed to give a different feed rate for auto feed or screw cutting. The latter is no good as they're all imperial, and it can't be changed anyway, as I...

I would really like to have worked alongside fred dibnah. Old stuff is cool.

that looks gloriously Victorian, just need to recruit some children to operate it... Well it is a bit Victorian... because that when it was made :) It was never meant to have a motor on it, it was supposed to be run from a overhead belt, hence the lever that disconnects the belts between the motor ...

Little spiny thing spins with its new motor on for first time..
