Mr Vark, make sure you clean out the tank on the weed burner, rust and bits of paint clog the burner tube if you don't and you end up with a very poor flame.

Putting stripes on it won't stop it leaking.

Purchased a nice little OBDII Adapter primarily for reading BMW Motorcycle Codes & Resetting the Service Light/Spanner icon, It does also play nice with Cars when using a decent App.

Holllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy MOLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY


They all worked.
But Not now, I may be a bit mad, but I am not that mad. I have removed the pump washers.
They are shot anyway. New washers and seals on order.

Plant sparyer.
Not used for water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the internals are shot with water (mine) the fuel and yes I did see if the fine mist would burn, it did.
Oh dear. As I put my coffee down and step away.

The Blow torch.
Last fuel was petrol.
NOT A GOOD IDEA.

Filled with dirty paraffin, why? it mix's better with petrol and allows the torch to be tested.
Yes it fires up, but it leaks fuel from all joints. Worse the tank to pipe joint leaks, so paraffin mix's with the meths and you can get a flowing fuel fire.

I cheat. I have a tray of ABC fire extinguisher powder I test these item in.


Weed Burner.
NO.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO.

Untill I have a fuel service kit, on order, plus it has been rebuilt. I am not setting it going again.
NO.
NO. No and NO again.

NO.

I did not take pictures.
No I will not do a stage picture shot for you lot.

It was done in a safe way, but I am not doing it again.
But at least Greenback now knows he has a lot more work to do on his.

Ardy you may not know .....There is usually a fine wire or plastic mesh top hat style filter in the flame pipe end where it joins to the fuel tank .. They can be a beast to get undone and extracted for cleaning .

From the picture it looks like the big height shelves are uppermost , having them on the bottom allows you to put the bigger usually heavier items lower down, or is it an optical illusion .

There is, I have a TYA tool to remove them. Plus person I spoke to at the manufacture is sending me 2 out.

Diamond grinding wheel. Strange thing I couldnt find anything branded, only chinese or silverline ?!
Im aware concrete has a lot of sand, so any dry cutting or grinding without a mask is bad, yet cutting discs are extremely common, so that doesnt expain it.

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Diamond-Grinding-Disc-with-Diamond-Blade-100mm-x-22-23mm/273192421798

Thinking about safety, most abrasive discs are glass fibre resin, and how many of us always wear a mask? Or just let our snot turn black.

Also aquired rain. I got soaked

More details to follow.

Yesterday whilst doing more house / shed clearing at my dad's old house I found this.

Looking very sorry for it self and now home to woodworm. Something I remember using to earn pocket money as a teenager tidying hedges and ditches at the house in the village I gardened for, that was forty years or more ago.
I think I need to buy a replacement handle for a Yorkshire Billhook, not sure what I will do with it in London mind.

I have one just like that - family heirloom, as it belonged to g/g/grandad, who was a gardener at a big house in Burley/Headingley (leeds) around 1860-1900
