Seems like all I ever do. Working on the H16 carb, needs a new main nozzle, rebuilding and Allis/simplicity deck, tilling the garden, stacking some firewood, replanting some Aloe, and tomatoes, blah, blah, blah

Courtesy of Usedtoolman I acquired a Comet Pump at the Dublin NH engine show this weekend. It appears to be an early unit. It has the older style coil, a round governor rod, 10mm spark plug, a blued steel air deflector and a carb with a side mounted needle. The tank is painted with the same aluminum hammertone as the Comet saw. The attached pictures show it in the "as found" condition. Haven't even dusted it off yet.

Went in the workshop a few times yesterday and could smell petrol. After tea it was annoying me and had a good hunt around, the fuel tank on bendy spontaneously split open and emptied itself .... thats a a new one to me...

I have an old four oaks knapsack sprayer if you are interested. welcome to MOM by the way.

our gas only starts at 95 octane, haven't had problems with it so far. sometimes i even get 98 octane

Greetings! I have used sodablasting for years. It's a mess and I have found that the price for having it done by a company equals the cost of materials. I think the greatest advantage is that since the soda is not reused, the parts that go for blasting is not required to be cleaned first. The soda does leave the aluminium with a matt, dull surface so I usually clean the parts with a pressure washer, dry them and blast them with aluminium grit. Cast parts gets a very nice surface from that. A surface that is very close to what it may have looked like when new. An example of this is the valve covers from My Zündapp: /Steen

I've just finished cleaning up the pump and repairing the recoil, came out pretty good. Since the paint and decals are fairly decent, I decided not to repaint it.

We can't make RPT next year but Biddington would be good. If we can get it sorted in time we may be able to bring a D160 and/or D200. A few Bolens too of cause
