    In case the text gets lost in the header section.
    Sadly Stormin passed away very suddenly last Monday as a result of a stroke. He visited me the day before and seemed his normal self so it was a real shock. His funeral will be held at Carlisle crematorium on Thursday 5th October at 12.20
    Our thoughts are with his partner Carole and their family.

    Hi All, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Stormin Norman Dainton died from a stroke last week. Sounds like it was sudden
    I knew him from the Land Rover community but know he was on here fairly often. 
    This was him and Carol on 4th August this year when he visited us in Mid Wales. My wife tried to poison him with spicy foreign muck (Spaghetti Bolognese), he'd never had spaghetti before.
    A true gentleman with a dry northern wit and will be sorely missed by all that knew him.

    expeatfarmer reacted to Stormin in Ready for duty.   
    Finished putting the C-125 back together after the exhaust valve replacement. Fired it up and let it warm up then set the carb. Got it running nicely, then I notice oil running down the front of the engine.  Valve tappet cover leaking. So off with the carb then the cover. Made a new gasket and refitted everything. Fired it up and let it run for a while and no more leak. Refitted the bonnet/hood. Now ready for grass cutting duty again.

    That post cant have been a master post.  I'm currently helping out a little with a local master post which has been renovated and the charging lead from the swan generator plugs into a socket behind the black cap on the air shaft.  It also contains an rf connector and a pneumatic connector for the antenna mast.
     
    The power from the generator then goes to a two way switch (on the far wall) which allows you to have one battery in use whilst the other one charges.
