Stunning! Absolutely beautiful...great work.
Now...that weedwhacker prolly needs a carb rebuild. There is a stoopid little diaphragm in there that hates ethanol. You can buy the parts cheap, but you'll need stronger glasses to put it together. From then on, buy only Shell premium gas which contains no ethanol.

Stunning! Absolutely beautiful...great work. Thanks Zambia . It only happened because of all the support guys like you offer on this forum . It would have stayed a junk heep otherwise . Thanks again but please note that it is not up and running yet . I slapped it together to accomodate the appraisel and to get insurance for it . It will be ready for show at Wings and Wheels next weekend . I am hoping to have it running for Tweed . Depends on the finances as usual . Thanks again ;D

Good god Mike... she's an amazing piece of work and you should be very proud of your accomplishment! Fullspeed ahead... damn the wife's plants, makeovers, new furniture, [insert typical wife frugal BS statement or money arguement here]. etc. and get it running!! ;D ;D Cmon Mike... you know you can feel it through the white pores of the suit... that heavenly blue smoke choking the crap out of your neighbours. The soothing ring a ding ding waking the babies and elderly alike.... you "MUST" get it running.... you must get it running... cmon Mike... no food needed...."MUST" buy more parts. ;D

Can take a bit of thought sometimes to solve a problem or in my case ,,sleeping at the order desk of one of our suppliers waitng and waiting for a part for an Air Conditioner . Mike
