I have started a few if those pocket bike 2 strokes like that, using a drill you have to be quick to take it back off when it starts, or the nut unscrews itself. I think I ended up loctiting it on

If you are good with oil changes and don't cook the oil regularly, then they last for 30+ years When they do stain you can use a little brake cleaner and a small bottle brush Source:shitheap bikes -

Using the leftovers of the drawers, I made a tiny oak desk and drawer. Not sure how I'm gona finish it, but kid is gona scribble all over it anyways. Used up my collection of vintage screws too, so it's indistinguishable from one built in the 40s- 1289 replies

Ruined a nice period piece of furniture these last few weeks Ebonised the drawers with a solution of strong black tea, and steelwool dissolved in vinegar Then sanded, and bleached the original stain out with lye and then hydrogen peroxide. Really wanted to avoid the orange/golden tone of the oak showing through. So whitewashed it all with some bone white to match our window frames- 1289 replies

Possibly the insulation on the trailer wiring has been torn/worn through and as a result you are getting stuff earthing where it shouldn't Might just be that the earth has been put back in the wrong spot too

Here's a twin tube version I thought the twin tube ones were bigger, but this looks the same size if not smaller. Possibly it's that the seat is actually an adults one https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/antiques-collectables/coins/new-zealand-pre-decimal/collections/listing/4307746259?cc=61&pid=2067400817&hbc=24&ct=image&tm=email&et=61&mt=DEC3FABC-AB8C-4119-8FA0-B206A40E13F0 I wouldn't mind another to make a trailer out of, Warkworth is a bit far tho
