  1. Yeah I see what you mean. All 4 cylinders would come under compresssion at once but only 2 would fire up. So the same amount of Kickback at the handle if it didn’t fire up. But with the JP4, you’d only have initial compression resistance with 1 cylinder, then 2, then 3 then all 4, right?
  2. My old Lister JP4 had 4 separate decompressers, which you flicked down one at a time when starting. My 4LW has one lever for all 4 decompressers so I wondered, if I isolated 2 cylinders by locking down 2 fuel pump levers, it would be easier to start by hand by reducing the total, initial resistance. If so, which would be the best 2 cylinders to start on. Or is this not a good idea?
  3. Absolutely critical. I was once with a bunch of people watching a narrowboat come down on the ebb and it became apparent that he intended to try to enter the lock with the flow!!!!! Fortunately he heard our shouting and gesticulations telling him to go past, turn and push against the flow. Would have been a disaster otherwise.
  4. Thanks. Strange that the 019 gives 100Ah/850 CCA (£84) but the 020 gives 110Ah/920 CCA (only£70!). Supply and demand? Any idea how type 019 relates to type 663 btw?
  5. It's a Gardner 4LW and 100Ah is the recommended size so I'm not going to argue with that. What would the equivilant CCA/MCA be? Have you got a brand name?
  6. Someone please suggest a cheap starter battery (or should I pay for a Bosch S5 013 for £130?)
  7. Anybody know why the chromecast facility has stopped working on my YouTube.? The chromecast icon no longer appears at the bottom of the YouTube screen. It's on the TV but I can't get my iPad air2 to cast the videos. Was working yesterday sorted........I just unplugged everything, waited 10 seconds and just plugged in again. Don't ask me why.
  8. It was meant as an amusing reaction meaning "Whew .....that's out of my depth!" The same reaction I have when Jeremy Paxman asks one of the long winded scientific/mathematical questions on University Challenge
  9. Looks like that's the reason. Thanks anyway.
  10. Yes I've got both and neither show the date of the satellite photo. Google Earth just says "2016 Google" at the middle bottom of the picture and Google Maps says "2017 Google" at left bottom. No exact date.
  11. Not on my iPad air2. maybe something else iPads cant do?
  12. I can't see where the date is. How do I do that please?
  13. So what's the difference between a search engine and an internet browser???
  14. When you drain the engine do you just flush through by gravity, by putting a hose pipe in the filler, or do you run the engine to pump the water through? also if leaks occur due to over strength antifreeze in the system, will they stop when the correct strength is subsequently used or are the gaskets permanently affected?
  15. Is it possible to find out what the date was when a satellite photo was taken?
  16. Screen capture worked! I didn't know how to do that before. Thanks.
  17. An iPad air2. Can't see any "print" facility
  18. Yessss! That did it. Thanks again.
  19. There's nothing between "Sounds and Touch ID" & "passcode" on mine. have I wiped it off somehow?
  20. Any ideas? I can't find it (her?) not in Settings
