  1. 6.5kva generator

    in Other Sales

    Posted

    There is a wheel kit for it, think it comes with handles, so its like a 2 wheeled barrow, as to weight it is a struggle for one person but easy with a mate on the other end.

     

    i got it from Just generators in n.norfolk so they should have a wheel kit in stock

    open up the bleed screw on the injector pump and you should get a fine jet of fuel come out, if you dont turn the enjine to get the arm off the back of the cam, and try again, if you cant get the pressure to form a jet ..then change the filter, filters swell up and block the fuel if they get water in them, if it still dosnt work check the fuel lift pump like the other boys said....sounds like a fuel problem defo...........

  14. petrol/2 stroke strimmer.

    in Off Topic

    Posted · Edited by ditchman

    What is the most reliable make of petrol/2 stroke driven strimmer ?

    I have bought cheap in the past and am fed up with them only lasting a couple of years, the current one I have is a McCullough and I have carburettor/gasket problems almost every time I use it.

    There must be some professionals out there who know whats what.

     

     

     

     

    if you want to splash out go...Stihl......ive always used Ryobi, dont get the 25cc get the basic 30cc model.....thats my opinion daresay others may disagree......

    All the other guys are spot on...find someone who does it for a living or go to classes...........what i will say is make sure you choose your commands and how you whistle and pin it up on the fridge so EVERYONE children included are singing from the same hymn sheet its no good you saying "situp" and the missus saying "sssiitt".

     

    Choose your whistle and recall style and use it at feeding times ...starting now

     

     

    apart from that get someone to teach you better that me !!

    Go to a ship's chandler and buy yacht paint, also buy etching primer. Many of the dents in landies alloy panels can be straightened by cleaning the back of the panel and rub with soap - cheap tesco stuff is ok. WARM with a blowlamp from the other side and when the soap goes black tap the dent out against a flat piece of metal. You can get it perfect if you take your time and don't try too hard.

    Rub the area down if you don't go through the paint you won't need the etching primer. Follow the paint instructions re thinning and use your choice of application, I prefer to brush round the obstructions and roll the large areas.

    The yacht enamel,if good quality, will give you an excellent finish and will cover dark colours well. It sets pdq as well.

    I worked for a company which always hand painted their buses, remember the preparation is the skilful part once, the surface is well prepared you can get your kids to do the painting with good quality paint.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    i will test a brush out and roller when i take off the sills and vents and bonnent , see what the best results are with the paint i will use....

  18. am i doing something wrong?

    in Help & Advice

    Posted

    i think i can quite honestly say, iv been to over 100 farms now, and not had a single yes.

     

    im going after work everynight for 2 months, im working in leeds, so have worked both sides of the m62 and m18.

     

    quick quote is " hi, im looking for some local land to shoot on. wondered if you had anyware i might be able to shot or could point me in the right direction?"

     

    usual reply is, no sorry we shoot our own.. or sorry its under an estate/keeper/syndicate. then i leave my card and go to the next place..

     

    does everyone do the same? iv been as far as ripon and heard the same story.. just wondered if im doing something wrong?! iv done the door knocking for years and always been able to get the land i want, this year just seems to be impossible for some reason?

     

    btw people, im not trying to be greedy and hog land, im simply wanting a bit of land for a rimfire/.22hornet

  19. Lightest weight decoy

    in Pigeon Decoying Equipment

    Posted · Edited by ditchman

    Just for a giggle I am building a super big magnet, don't ask, it's just a laugh really!

     

    Who makes the lightest decoy with spread wings?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    what about using pigeonwings that have been opened up and dried then drilled and stuck into foam deeks ?

    think i will go for Bronze Green 1...........matt black eyebrows (they are expensive) matt black headlamp finishers, and matt black rad grill, and ivory steel rims.......im just stripping the roof lining out and relaying it with a grey stretch fabric........the expensive bits are the small ones that add up like the window seals etc....
