What did you do Today

[Hooli]

Doesn't really look like any of them. It's almost like it's been painted metallic grey, I'll try n get a pic next time I swear at the thing.

Should be easy enough to lift the head on a 2-st and have a dekko at the top of the piston for any pre-ignition/detonation.

[Hooli]

Yeah but as I only got it in April I'm thinking it's sub-standard & I can send it back. I don't mind cleaning dirty fuel lines etc, but I shouldn't need to strip a new engine.

[Hooli]

Gah got a bloody chest infection/cold thing. Spent most the night awake gargling phlegm.

[Zunspec]

Too many hours in a cold workshop working on the bikes, Hooli ?

(commiserations, get well soon)

[Hooli]

If only that was the cause.

[Hooli]

Bored. I don't think I'll bother coming to work again this year.

[Zunspec]

Get your Jan 2018 Classic Bike mag out and ponder who you will vote for as the CBOTY

Like B21 myself.

I made my chainsaw work today Managed to get the one screw that wouldn't move before undone so I could get the other cover of the carb. The needle valve was stuck. Oh & the manual lies, what is clearly marked in the manual as the idle speed is in fact the idle mixture. Set that by trial & error so it runs right. All good now, I'll make a start on clearing the huge file of firewood that needs chopping tomorrow.

The needle valve was 'huge' as befits something about 50cc.
