EDIT started short but ended as a bit of a waffle Bob
hope it dont bore you to death mate
Yeah it seems so On that mate 50:1
from reading round here
Sadly twice now I done it by accident to that trimmer so I have shortened its life I guess...looking at cost of rebuilding it thought your half near to a knew one..
Anyway I have 5 tins and seems tins are not so popular..I dont know why? but guess maybe moisture and colder temps water in cans ?
I am going to go plastic and get rid of them over time
Ok I do have two cans with Victa for them I always used for the mix and that was the only cans ever I used for the mower and trimmer
one red and ones got orange plastic lid handle
so now have two separate mixes 25:1 red & 50:1 orange
The trimmer seems quite happy on the Vita Valvoline 50:1
(so did the victa I thought
)
I think I'll look into the litre bottles thought Bob
as the less fuel the better for storage really
they dont get a heavy work out 2~4 hrs a month tops
for the mower
yeah for rebuild me well its more the honing I am worried about getting right...(as it seem precision here and how to achieve that
seems you can get a honing tool from supercheap for $20 odd
(have to pick joe's brain on that...there's 2 available)
not sure what really need to use to measure for that
and more so cost of
there is a guy the well trades for a price
a honed cylinder and piston/rings ..on ebay
pricey I suppose but well might be cheaper in the long run
guess you just got to hope he does good job..still
musing thoughts there really
I suppose there's "the wing and a prayer method"
hone lightly and hope you dont go out of tolerance
(I read a little of how to do it)
Actually I have a lot of questions on that
such as bearings etc and should I got with standard rings or what is best way to go about it..anyway I get there first before asking
Yeah that Crank pin is another
I know there is a special tool
but shhh $$$$ not cheap
oh one method on YT I seen was bash it with a hammer and screw driver..now I guess it works
but well I think you gotta leave big marks in it..
so not a big fan of that idea..but I know at times you do what you got to do too even if risky
I got a few Ideas for making something that might to the job
even one for ruining a pair of needle nose pliers
(really depends on how much force you go to use I suppose)
I am a fan of using the right tool for the job ..less change of damage and mostly makes life easier but for the cost $$
I am open to suggestions so I'll do some searching on that
As I said in due time I'll get to this
I'll probably post a list of dumb arse questions so hope no one will mind but I'll try to ferret out the answers first..
Thanks again Bob, Truly very much appreciated..:)
Cheers
