Back in country. Sat, Sun? -
Laws? Laws of physics...

Although you might get some out of sync firings that way, as the field in the spark coil collapses?
-
Also keen, had a very relaxing last camp.

Wipes the system. Traditional warning to new users about the power of the command line, and not blindly typing in shit from the innernerds. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rm+-rf+%2F Finest compression avaliable under UNIX/Linux! Unfortunatly, there is no decompressor avaliable. I once used rm to remove a link to my mp3 collection. Unfortunately it was a hard-link. Holy shit linux deletes stuff fast in the 3 seconds it takes to realise.

A user expressed interest, so I'll post it: A SAD lamp (visor, so portable) I made for my Mrs. About 1/2 hour a day seems to make a difference. I checked the LED spectrum for no nasty UV-B. You could make one with These LED strips, here and a couple of 4x AA battery holders. -
Somebody put beer in your tubes again?

I suggest not changing, that seems to result in messyness. But I'll host a shed drinkies some tuesday in a week or two (woolston).

Sorry, I missed the meet there and convoy later idea suggestion above. Good idea, lets do that

How about a bit of a bays drive culminating at the Gov?

Should be tons unless it's a strange ignition system. Dai alt wore through its brushes earlier in the week. Ran fine for 2 days on total loss, down to a battery V of ~8V. It's kettering ignition, with no starter / ballast system. Again, make sure you get the right kind of ignition coil, ballast Vs non. I suspect electronic ignition systems may be more fussy in that regard. If you're still having troubles with correct coil, bring it round, I'll have a looksie.

My Daihatsu started more and more poorly at one time, and I replaced lots of bits. The actual problem was indeed the coil. It had started "tracking" from the tip (HV output) down to the case of the coil. I tried cleaning it, but no go. I replaced it (check for proper type, ballasted / vs not), and it solved immediately. I've heard they can break down internally, though I've not seen it. Avoid running the ignition without a spark plug connected, which will cause over-voltage, and may cause insulation breakdown. You should get a good fat strong spark from that kind of system. What's the battery voltage? Kick start or electric starter?

Topped the thread so far -
I had said I would provide a BBW BBQ for Skope classic, and I heard that the other BBQ suppliers weren't gonna be there. Oh noes, can't starve the bros! I had a spare BBQ 'cause basically I couldn't drive a gas tap, but it wouldn't fit in the car, because Daihatsu: So, applying tungsten tipped skill saw, added lowness (I carefully checked the safety instructions, this wasn't contra-indicated): Slamaque! (Kei car wheels for scale). This fit in the rear seat, fed the small OS team, and will get more tidied up later.

Delaying heading abroad. You name a pub, I'll supply brown fizzy from the long bench, and a few shit yarns. You should prolly take the 2T for a blat.

I'm packing to head abroad, but woulda shouted beersies otherwise.

Check ballast resistor and switching circuit?

Thanks. For onlookers: Windows defender offline found some shit after a full scan (overnight on a low powered machine), and combofix found some more. Now seems to be kosher / halal, though I removed an odd looking manual DNS entry.
