    I give it a week and that bench will be full. No room for a sleeping walrus.

    Wheel horse Turner flail mower

    My Haban flail has casters on the front but I find that because it is so far out front that even a very small change from flat ground results in the flail lifting or dropping a lot. You might find you would benefit from adding a belt tensioner so the belt tension is constant on all terrain. Iain

    Ohlsson and Rice mini 2 stroke engine

    Managed to get it all back together, but without a spark...... A quick chat with Wallfish and an exchange of photo's showed me that a wire was in the wrong place. Once rectified, a healthy spark was produced. I was so tempted to try the engine, despite not having a working carb. So I squirted some fuel in and gave it a pull! The 2nd pull and away it went....... not for long, but enough to be happy with the progress. Next was to attend to the paint work. The fuel tank had a couple of small pin holes. Once stripped of old paint I was able to solder repair the pin holes, then apply some filler to smooth the dents. Next came a coat or 2 of etch primer and finally a couple coats of top coat. Gave the starter housing the same treatment........ New decals are on the way too!

    Kohler Magnum 16 popping spluttering.

    Funnily enough i finished work with a bit of spare time today and fitted the new pipes, filter, filled up with fresh fuel, wired in the electric pump and had a test. Much better Still not perfect though, feels flat on full throttle but hoping this is now down to tuning which i will tinker with, but the popping and spluttering is gone Heres a pic I took tonight of the engine and stack fitted. Think i may check valve clearance again now ive had it running just to re-check things are perfect in their.

    Sounds as though you may have cracked it but with any unknown engine I believe that time spent making sure that the valve condition and clearance, is time well sent. Short of a worn bore and piston valve condition is fundamental to a sweet running engine ; if the valves are not right no amount of tinkering with ignition and carburettor will achieve a permanent cure. Also don't rely on a compression test as an indication of valve condition on an engine with automatic decompression to aid starting. The only reliable non-invasive test is with a leak down tester - not usually found outside a professional workshop. For the time spent doing a valve job and probably a head gasket you will have sound foundations on which to fine tune carburettor and ignition.

    Looking better every time we come and see it. Hope its up and running for when the snow comes. Don't think it will need chains.

    And he left without a trace! Just like aliens came and beamed him away. Pretty cool of you to think about a nappy spot in the new shop.

    Found these at the sale.

    Went to the machinery sale today after a finger bar mower for my BCS, it made a lot of money so I bought these instead. The same size I have on my C121. 7.00 x 12 Continental 4ply. 26" dia Unused, only thing is,4.25" pcd instead of 4.5" & centre hole is smaller, but nice thick centre so they can be re-drilled, or I may turn up some new hubs instead. Cost: £100 .00p for 4.
