  1. Hmmm might do a bit more reading. thanks for the insights
  2. Thanks guys. There is a bit of info about on forums I have googled. I will look into 5 micron filters. I only plan to process 20 -40 litres at a time. I figure if i keep the oil ratio below 30% it will be ok all year round. I read a story about a guy in the uk who had a trade discount and was buying 20l drums of vege oil and dumping it into his truck at tesco in the carpark. People thought he was mad but he was getting it for 40p a litre.
  3. So I have access to 40L a week of used canola oil (deep frier) for free From what I have read, filter it to 5 microns then warming it to allow water to evap creates a passable partial substitute for deez I was thinking of taking it a step further and decanting it and letting it settle further allowing any remaining solids to sink to the bottom Maybe if I was to run at 70% deez, 30% chip oil I could save some $$ I have a 1kz toyota surf What do you folks think of this?
  4. So my non electri c segmented garage door jumped cable jumped off its roller. I Foolishly undid the locking grubs on the pulleys to re allign the cables and need to retension the torsion screws. Any of you clever buggers want to earn a box/ some $$ and come help me out ? Even just lend me some advice? Cheers
  5. Alex, have you come across a fella in Nelson called Trevor Aaron, he is my friend's dad and is/ was a boat builder
  6. Hi team.. Looking for clutch/flywheel and manual oil pump spring for this thing. does anyone know of someone thay stocks vintage parts
  7. This runs. Is smokey as farq Wont rev hard but as half the clutch is missing thats not a priority just yet.
  8. So my challenges are 1) reassemble... youtube may help 2) source a clutch 3) prune prune prune
  9. Anyway then the pull start jammed and the only way to access it was by removing the motor. So I have stripped it down. I epoxied the handle together too Fingers crossed it holds However I cannot figure out how to connect the throttle linkage while the engine is in place. And cannot get the engine in place with the linkage connected
  10. There it stayed until yesterday when it fell off the shelf. And its handle broke. I stripped it down and found its clutch had smashed and it wasnt siezed. I put fresh fuel and a dash of ether in the carb and it ran for 10 sec
  11. So few years ago I acquired a little chain saw. It was seized I was told. Perhaps a McCulloch mini mac 3 or 6 Very similar to this one. It sat in my shed after I poured ATF/acetone mix in the spark plug hole and left it after it was still siezed
  12. do you still have the ATC? I have a workshop manual for one of these somewhere I could post
  13. Always had a soft spot for these Enjoy it! @Mof is a guru on these

  15. I heartily approve of this Land Barge Reinstatement
