Wonkydonkey, any chance of that having scarred the valve stem and then having a valve seal leak after a bit of run time? My second thought would be, was there any teensy chance the broken spring ever found a way to get caught on top of the valve guide and cause an issue with the rocker travel...

uhm, would y'all believe me if I claimed a senior moment combined with a bit nostalgiazation?

A rock lawn sounded interesting until I remembered just how danged hot those little white stone/pebble driveways were, when I was a kid. Not to mention how much weed killer I'd have to use to keep the stones from just getting covered by whatever stuff keeps sprouting. 🫤

So would pubic hair choke a chain like the fibers in saw chaps?

What's the scoop on syrup this year?

Ferguson, Good point on the water and alcohol issue. You'd think that as a regular complainer about corn-gas, I'd have caught myself on that with the metal lanterns. Thinking back a few decades (when/how did i get that old? :eek:) I do believe the alcohol was always in one of the glass type...

Been a long time since I've seen one of those with the tubes routed back into the burner. Does anyone know what to call that type of lamp? As a kid, I always thought that they burned a little brighter and perhaps cleaner? Could you, safely, run alcohol or a blend of alcohol and kerosene in one?

Please don't run this into politics folks, I'm just talking about the technology. There's actually a country that already named one of their surveillance systems Skynet. A moment of googling should get you into more info about it.

Chain Flocked ? Usually nice to see some shiny (old) paint after the cleanup though.

I think that I would put the vape parts and cleaning liquid in a closed zip bag. Then dunk the bagged bits into the liquid filled sonic tank.

I think that I'd want to check the screws in that setup fairly regularly. Lots of pulse~vibration. But hey, the last bit of power always seems to have its demands, right?

Down to the shutter/flap only? Pic's a bit soft focused for my old eyes.

Wasn't there someone doing repairs on some ignition units? I believe it it was bad capacitors needing replacement. Not sure what web site I saw it on. Seems like the guy posted as "Foggy Sails" or something similar.

Arboristsite had a lot of good info at one time. Seems like that "linkbucks" issue/hack really screwed some things up though.

Nail Files? I've grabbed the metal ones at a Dollar store and used them to touch up kitchen knifes, rough edges on drinking glasses, etc. You have to watch out for the abrasive plating, peeling or flaking off. Could be pretty bad to have a flake of it to get lost in a cylinder.
