Well wasnt me that made ya sell it, to be fair at the time that pic was taken i wouldnt have thought you would part with the thing.

Well that went swimmingly well. The Venom timed up nicely and fired on the first kick and started on the second...was hoping for a better result
The missus reckoned she could smell petrol in the shed it was stored in a while back (stating the obvious is one of her forte's) and I knew one fuel tap was weeping so being an ass I assumed it needed replacing. It does but also turns out the bloody fuel tank has a split in the back seemI drained the fuel out and I'll have a go at soldering it up as I don't want to root the paint too much. Luckily its right at the bottom but is still visible under the seat. Wish me luck as I've never had too much of it with tank leaks unless I've welded them.

To be honest I wondered why you did at the time. Just thought I'd rub that in. You're welcome

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

The BSA one did the same ages ago, I cleaned the are up and used a JB weld product as a temp repair and well you know how long those temp repairs tend to get used forthe bloody fuel tank has a split in the back seem
I just wasn't using it and sidecar racing was sucking up all my money plus some other stuff that was going onTo be honest I wondered why you did at the time. Just thought I'd rub that in. You're welcome
Still broke even on it, even after spending 5k on the engine

Do you have a mega hot soldering iron?Well that went swimmingly well. The Venom timed up nicely and fired on the first kick and started on the second...was hoping for a better result

I use an old electric English one that's about 30mm diameter & bar solder, not flux cored wire. I scrub the acid on with a toothbrush.

My old man once widened a tank for a mate of his. Soldering iron was literally a block of iron with a stick off it, and you heated it with a gas torch.

Thats what I learned to solder leaking petrol tanks on Bedford buses with when I was 13 years old. That's why I referred to mine as electric.
Smallest member of the group got to jam himself between the body & the fuel tank & solder the top of the tank, rather than drop the tank out.
Oh, and it was a block of copper.
They didn't call me bones back then for nothing.

In my role as Health and Safety officer, I might just point out that seems insanely dangerous. What with the fuel vapour and so forth.

that's the difference between shiny arses like you, and people who work for a living....

It was hot, but not red hot, so not dangerous at all.
There was usually someone nearby blowing asbestos dust out of a brake drum & another bloke welding near an open petrol filled parts washing tin.
Children were expendable, but nobody died.
I had PPE, usually a pair of second hand boots 3 sizes too big & overalls with the sleeves rolled up, with my dad's name on them that he had worn out.
Great times.
I also recall kneeling on the roof of a bus with a heavy old orbital sander leaning over the side & doing the bit above the side windows.

One of the very reasons why I'd like to retire early. Absolutely fed up to the back teeth with 'shiny arses' poking their bloody noses in. We now have little perspex windows on grinders that you can't see jack shit through when sharpening drills etc because some H&S dickhead deems it an eye safety issue. I asked him if that it was okay now to not wear my safety glasses. I feel like smashing them off. They're currently putting up a pipe barrier around the back of the bandsaws in case a visitor trips up and puts their hand in the (back) of the blade. It's a toolroom workshop FFS....but don't get me started

went into the workshop of the airforce museum a few weeks ago as i've mates in there, they were talking guards, the subject of the guard on a drill press in case some left a chuck key in there paticularly. they asked why, chcuk key was only reason and then said why do we have them on drills with keyless chucks, no answer as to why but they must still have them fitted...One of the very reasons why I'd like to retire early.

you may laugh (or scorn about that) and you are correct in doing so, but unfortunately i walked (just prior to covid lockdown)in to our woodwork shop to find a chuck key still in the chuck just waiting for some one to turn the drill on without noticing it (probably the person that left it there),
unfortunately it would be me in the shit if said person got hurt because i am the supervisor, The reason for all the rules is because ya can't fix stupid, this is a person who i have to keep reminding to wear a mask while using the sanders, we sand a lot of rimu and shell, both very nasty dust and yes we do have local extraction as well, this is a person who i have to remind not to have the blade set higher than necessary on the table saw, (we have already lost one thumb in my time there, no not mine), this is a middle aged person who has not long completed a pretrade at polytech as well as gone through in house training on how to use the gear safely and efficiently.
it is these people why we have to guard the shit out of machinery
