Oh. The joys of Chinese ersatz Zama carburetors

Nearly a good carburetor - own work

A mate asked me to look at one of his customers Stihl blowers as it wasn't working.
My usual reply : "Doing nothing would give me grerater pleasure"

Open carb surgery on it revealed that it had crud in the internals, the throttle arm didn't actually contact the idle adjuster so it couldn't be adjusted for idle until I'd bent it into shape, adjusted the metering lever to the correct spec...... and whoever got to it before me had connected up the two fuel pipes the wrong way 'round. That's a good number of faults for something that is only 1½" square Once I'd dealt with that lot it was working fine - or as I normally hand things like this over "It was working fine when it left here"

Spotted this today, I have no idea what it is....

A nice spot for a rest...

Seen in Daventry Country Park yesterday. Not that I could rest, I was running a 6 hour challenge...

More of the gorgeousness of the park

Nissam Pao's previous appearance on the thread. I believe this one sold for over £4,000 at ACA Auction at Kings Lynn.

Too easy for a proper whatsthisthen? too easily researched, but whats this odd bod? There is just a touch of acknowledgement to the 2CV and Mini in the "design". At the front it looks like the new Honda EV has nicked the look.

Looks like a Renault 4 rip-off to me,

Autumn has begun to show in the Maverick Manor estate. Not good pics I'm afraid as they are through the double glazing but I suspect the sight may be gone by tomorrow!

Have you taken a photo of a piece of art? That photo would look great on canvas

[NewcastleFalcon]

As an aside for number noticers like me this post is post number 11111 on this thread

To answer your question Ryan it's not a picture of an artwork, but an original photo taken by me this afternoon with a 2 minute manipulation on a free online editing and effects website.

That looks amazing! I'm impressed with that and would quite happily hang that in my house

Agreed, proper art

Our river, the Lovat, a tributary of the Great Ouse just before it joins at the confluence near my house, in flood under the Iron Bridge this morning... It must have rained a bit yesterday...

Own work during my morning run...

A bit of autumn now in the trees around here and looking good
