    Himalayan Tahr burgers back legs minced up ( apparently the front didnt look so flash after being ventilated with a 7mm magnum ) This sort of hunting is well beyond my capabilities but I have a friend who hates his wife (:LOL::LOL: no he doesnt , but he spends a lot of time running round...

    Car door panel

    I reckon spray on contact cement ( I use Ados F2 ) and do it in 2 stages . Id glue down the most of it 1st then after thats stuck and cured then roll the curved edge in . If you blow any loose stuff off 1st hopefully it will go back in place and be nice and flat , spose you could lay...

    Towing friends boat damage

    I would imagine "full responsibility " would fall on the operator. I guess too that there might be some question as to why the hitch came off in the 1st place . Can you get the repair done and hand him the bill leaving it up to him how he recovers the loss. Once he has accepted liability (...

    Mercury 3.5hp 2012 outboard hard to start due to over compression? Cause? How to fix?

    They are not hard to strip . A good service manual is the 1st tool you should buy . I have never owned a ring spreader and I havnt broken a ring for 45 years , and you can bodgey a ring compressor out of a coke can ,a torque wrench and Bobs your auntie .

    What oil to run in trim/tilt shock absorber?

    I recall some oil suppliers promoting an additive called "seal swell " ( self explanatory ) and I have heard peeps saying it works and I think thats what stopped my Guzzi rear drive from weeping ( new seals didnt )

    Mercury 3.5hp 2012 outboard hard to start due to over compression? Cause? How to fix?

    You can get an endoscope camera that fits your cell ph for naff all of the chinese . I have seen a few of these camshaft decompressors and Im yet to see one that gives any hint of longevity . They are a flimsy looking bit of pressed steel or plastic .

    What oil to run in trim/tilt shock absorber?

    I think the suggested options take into account the ambient temp where its used . Ya wouldnt want to thick oil in real cold temps . I have always used ATF for this sort of thing ........mostly because I usually had some

    Chinese carbs

    I guess it depends a bit on what the carb goes on , like a weedwacker is usually either idling or going full noise and there is no real need to modulate the throttle..... generator is similar . I could not find a 116 main jet for the original carb and the kit was expensive so I went for the...
