Back together today...

She's a cross between a Cairn and a Yorkshire Terrier, very smart and very protective. When she's clipped she has a brindle coat. We got her from a lady who was separating from her husband and the dog had been kept in a small cat cage. We paid 75.00 for her and drove 3 hours one way to get her after seeing her picture on a craigslist ad, best thing we ever did. They had actually sold her before we called, but the buyers returned her after an hour saying she barked to much and they wanted a refund, that's what we call her sometimes, Refund.

I can only find synthetic oils on the Royal Purple site; http://www.royalpurpleconsumer.com/ Is this the one you have? http://www.royalpurpleconsumer.com/products/hp-2c-2-cycle-engine-oil/ I guess you will let us know if it works or not. If the engine is getting flooded the spark-plug will be getting clogged with oil. Here is the carb needle setting information from the carb repair tutorial sticky thread; Carb Setting These posts are from the old forum thread for setting the carb needle. Original post by Webhead. "1 and 1/4 out for starting. I have had units run good between 3/4 and a full 2 turn out." Original post by usedtoolman. "If I recall there is one more factor on the needle setting. If you have a slotted needle the setting is 1/2 turn as opposed to 1-1/4 for the non grooved needle." You can cut a piece from any filter intended for small engines that is the correct thickness to fit, I have been cutting circles (some chainsaws had other shaped filters) out of this pre filter foam I got from the local lawnmower/grounds maintenance/small tool repair shop. Leaving the old filter foam off is better for getting it running if you don't have a replacement yet, as this tends to happen. Pretty nasty stuff if it gets into the engine. David

Even though I bought a C-312-8 from Chris in the not too distant past, It's missing a couple of vital parts like the engine and trans, so I needed to get something I could use.. This C-101 popped up very local at quite a good price Unfortunatly the boonet/hood isn't part of the deal so anyone have a spare C/Raider bonnet going spare? The fender pan is in good condition, but once again it's not part of the deal... Another fender pan has been thrown in (no pic's of it yet) but it is missing a bit of metal from the middle and needs a bit of work.. Engine.... It has one and it is part of the deal 10hp Kohler that spins freely but had no compression! Those with sharp eye's will of noticed a couple of bit's missing from the engine... Yep no carb or... Starter motor! I might have enough incomplete carbs on the shelf to make a good one, and I'm sure I have a starter for it somewhere but so far all I've found is a starter for a Kohler twin.. Think it might of come from a KT The trans is an 8 speed which is nice.. Last Friday Rex popped in for a coffee and the engines lack of compression got the better of him and he just had to have a look.. Problem found... The exhaust valve was stuck open, that large gap shouldn't be there! Head off to have a look... Followed by lot's of penertrating oil and some gentle taps with a rubber mallet saw the valve close again.. (not quite closed in this pic) Spinning the engine with a bit of pressure on the valve soon had it moving freely up and down again.. The cylinder wall has a bit of scoring, but not too bad though the engine may be a "smoker" when it's running.. Someone has been in this engine in the not too distant past, the head has been cleaned at some point as all the crud/carbon is only a thin layer.. Other than a wipe with a cloth the piston is as found... Someone has cleaned most of it! The plan for this machine??? Find the missing parts, get the engine running and just use it

It's distinctly possible that I and something of mine will be down there on the day.

I sold my Volvo 850 GLT Wagon almost three years ago and last month I got a ticket in the mail for running a toll plaza. The tag was clearly visible and apparently the buyer had been driving the car with no registration, no licence plate, and no insurance. I wrote the Department of Public safety and enclosed a bill of sale and notice from my insurance company notarizing the sale and I instructed them to send the ticket to the police since if someone could drive that car for nearly three years without it being taken off the road it was an enforcement issue, not my problem.

Portly Nigel. Portly.
