Eric,

I would do two things:

A compression test might show a broken valve, or a broken ring.

Endescopes are cheap $25 to $35 and work with your celphone. Inexpensive way to have a look inside that expensive crossflow head.

Helicopter? I wish....

You initially catch a train from a place you stay at in the Sacred Valley then get off at the start point, maybe 7000 feet. You then climb a lot of steps (rough-ish) to gain height and it then undulates at around 8000 feet or more eventually reaching the Sun Gate where you start to get views of Machu Picchu which you drop down to (but still above the valley). You t...

Good to hear

Amazing view even in a photo Bill.

Must be incredible in the flesh.

How do you get there? Hike? Climb? Helicopter?

Similar to Colin, we couldn’t give them away last year, but this year’s harvest was very poor.

Partly the weather and partly the severe pruning I gave the tree in the winter.

Guy, you are not alone as I had the same problem with the markings on our fridge. Like you it seems counter intuitive to me.

If you are storing apples in it I would suggest a light spraying of water over them as they will keep better. I was reared on an apple farm and when they were put in cold storage dad always sprayed a hose over them before closing the store up.

Think so


The speedo should have numbers on it 1472 (4.22) or 1376 (3.9) ISTR !

Just had a look at my spare 1376 one
Just a plastic hole did not engage to drive speedo properly until it was in quite a way, using the square end of a tap as far as it would go (think it bottomed was about 12/13mm.

Not sure what size the inner cable square and is though.

I had the oil pump failure that George mentioned above...definitely stopped the engine from turning but in my case it was visible from below...the gear had slid down the oil pump shaft and jammed against the piston rod.

Best thing to do is pull the head, the oil pump and the distributor...diagnosing the problem will be easy after that AND you probably need to clean/check all the above anywa...

Guy, you're very lucky to have any apples this year. After a glut last year the drought and the squirrels have reduced our 2026 crop to zero.

Last year Mrs. M made a lot of apple sauce which froze well. Put a polybag inside a fruit juice carton, fill with pulp and freeze. You can usually remove it from the carton and you have some nice stacking blocks.

I did all the picking so got my...

General topic as its Non midget, though it is sort of technical there is a common feature.(later),
We have a considerable glut of apples so I have acquired a chest freezer as they keep well chilled but not frozen. So the technical challenge is to reset the thermostat to operate through a fridge range of +2 to +17 degs C rather than the sub zero range it was designed for. There is a very small ...
