With virtually no tools, I was able to revive the fuel pump of a maxi scooter that had been sitting in the garage since 2019. I was able to soak up the tarred, sticky gasoline residue using acetone and DMSO + external battery power. The original fine filter has decomposed. We managed to find a filter from a car with a similar mounting method. The tank has been washed, fortunately it is made of HDPE. Tomorrow I'll try to start the scooter. Perhaps the injector will also require cleaning and power (boiling in DMSO in a water bath)

the injector also had to be soaked in a hellish mixture of acetone and DMSO and supplied with 12 volts, simulating opening pulses, quickly touching the wire to the battery terminal. instead of two stunted streams, after the execution, the injector began to produce two streams of tiny drops. Not ideal, but the engine started smoothly and confidently. Now I won't lose money when selling.

I’m continuing my adventures in Pullmaxing. This time a trying out a technique I’ve seen on IG using body filling to make a plug to scribe around. Very effective.

[Memmeddu]

Being at home cause of my kidneys....
I've finished to assemble the Makita chop saw, and published part two.
Tomorrow I'll have to use the pc so I'll add the clickable links at the end of the videos.
I wasn't sure about the colours but kinda like them

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I had to do something, as I waited for my van.

 

[oldbikedavey]

Mostly, an adequate precise hole in a chain plate blank to produce a 49T rear sprocket for my Dear Little Beeza.
Mostly on pattern, but it will require button head Allen bolts in 1/4" BSF to fix on to the C.15T rear sprocket-holding drum , in order to clear the chain links.
No doubt but that it can be done, and will be done, but not quite yet awhile....
Softly, softly, catchee gremlin...

A bigger floor section for the drivers side on the Austin. Shocking that it needs all this work after just 88 years.

A small house bridge to the back garden,can you believe that the engineers specifications and drawing was 500+ vat!

 

[bricol]

Yes, because as is often said similarly about manual workers, you aren't paying for the time to do the design, do the calcs, put it in a format to send to you - you are paying for the knowledge, the ability to use it correctly, paying for the office overheads, the software licences, insurance etc.

You wouldn't get much of my work time for that much

 

[JMS1972]

The CNC lathe is making tooling for itself and a lot of noise and chips.

[Hood]

Got on well with the roller and baiting system the last couple of days.
Weather looking grim tomorrow so it looks like it will be next week before I can get the roller fitted and then that will allow me to fit the hauler.
