Once warms up it works perfectly
But when cold it doesn't .
It seems like it has not enough fuel .
But if I tune it to work fine when cold it won't once warms up.
It's a jonsered Turbo ,it has a forced air carb .
I can open high jet up to 4 turns it will work just fine .
It's actually around 1+¾ or 2 .
Low jet I didn't count, but I believe it's around 1+½ turns

I was making half a dozen of these for close family.
My sister has just phoned that BIL has just died from a massive heart attack [1], so I don't suppose I'll be handing them out
[1] no great loss for me, tbh, but devastating for his family, so they have my sympathies.

I went out and got trolleyed...
Black Friday sales thoroughly destroyed my inbox and I've never really seen the point in buying a fancy new TV when my 13-year-old one still works, so I squandered on a new toy: a thicknesser. I'd wanted one for a long time, but felt like the lack of space was a bit fundamental. It probably still is (I only have a vacuum cleaner for dust extraction due to space again) to be honest, but I bought one anyway!
I made a trolley for it, mostly out of 30 × 30 × 2 mm box section, with some plywood sides and some 20 × 20 × 2 mm "wings" to provide material support (with a roller made out of my next-door-neighbours old TV aerial pole). The trolley lifts the thicknesser up high enough such that it can feed out onto my workbench or table saw, while also sliding through the (very narrow) gap between the table saw in its parked under the bench position and the motorbike. The desire to get the thicknesser up high is part of the reason for making a steel trolley with heavy duty drawers - the low-down weight should help stabilise everything.
Here's a front view:
and back view:
The back panel gives storage for the dust extraction port and a couple of different adaptors:
The brass knurled knobs were a case of me getting carried away!
The material supports look like this when they're swung up:
They can be adjusted very accurately to be at exactly the same height as the bed, using a couple of M6 cap screws on the end of the support arm. I'd spent ages trying to figure out how to get an angled surface for the cap screw to rest on (not that it would have mattered that much really). In the end I used a small off-cut of angle iron and ran a TIG weld bead along the corner:
This picture shows how cosy the path through the garage is - between the motorbike and the table saw:
and this is what it looks like when its parked between the lathe and motorbike (using some space freed up by mounting my lathe tool holder rack to the ceiling):
While I was at it, I also glued two lengths of MDF together (actually the moisture resistant stuff as I had some left over from something unrelated). I wanted the resulting sheets to be flat and was lacking a good supply of big flat surfaces, so I clamped them to my dining-table/office desk (which is made out of a bit of 40 mm oak kitchen worktop):
I then trimmed it to fit through the thicknesser, added some blocks on the corners to hold it against the rollers of the trolley's "wings" and covered the top surface in some UHMW-PE tape:
Close-up:
The idea of the MDF is that it gives a continuous flat surface for the wood to run on as it goes through the thicknesser. I did a quick test after taking this photo and couldn't detect any snipe in the planed piece of wood so I'm really pleased with how well it works.
I'll probably have to take it all apart when the weather warms up so I can paint it (although I said that about the table saw trolley and still haven't got round to it - I'm glad I don't have a rust problem in the workshop!).

Thanks!
Does making a mess count?
My chain saw gave up so I spoke to Aldi who said they had no battery chainsaws in the country until the 10th Dec but they could ship me one from Germany. It came today so I finally finished chopping that tree down .....but it was in the dark and my phone had only 10% so no after pics yet...
