Came home this evening to some cool original O&R goodies. This bundle has some original, and very detailed service manuals, several service bulletins and some misc brochures, mostly chainsaws but there are a couple other cool ads. I haven’t even gone through this in detail yet but thought I’d share some pics. David, have you ever seen the Grow Gear Trimmer there in the UK? OO

Just a thought, Ewan. Rather than weld the nut on, how about threading the hole? Then the nut can be used as a lock nut.

i just took these pics that last pic was from one i found on google just checked out the member factory tutorial on that carb and it looks the same as mine only difference is the gas line port position and i noticed its only missing the little lever/arm inside has the rest it runs i just blew thru the top of gas tank to get gas to carb and starts right up

More progress on the Gemini. I tried using pipe clamps for hinges that would snap over the front bar/lifting handle but felt they wouldn’t be strong enough so removed them. I came up with an idea that would enable me to lift the barrow attachment onto the bar but remain secure whilst carrying a load. I cut a section out of a pair of eyebolts, just enough to allow them to slip over the bar, and fixed them to a length of steel angle, which also provides some support and rigidity to the bucket. i then used some steel angle bolted to the rear lower edge of the bucket and cut a slot down one side to engage with the bottom of the tipping lever. It looks a bit rough and ready at the moment but it does work really well. Some more tidying up later before painting.
