  2. hi have you tried just loosening one injector at a time to see if any air is locked behind injector also listen to see if knocking gets louder or changes sound of knocking if no change in sound then it means injector is faulty and needs reconditioning or renewing but this is obviously dearer
  3. you could also check if filters have been fitted behind front of mixer on pipe tails these can become silted and then just replace them

    Boat Pole??

    hi if you are concerned about either ash or pine breaking and splintering you could wrap the middle three feet with natural string impregnated with epoxy resin this would control deflection and amount of break out by slowing down the break as it is in progress incidentally you could also bind in a rare earth magnet to stop it rolling off the roof i would be willing to make these in either ash or pine if required
  9. thanks carl ive sent reply
  10. hi im trying to find a pair of wooden boats that have been left to rot or sunk to hopefully totally rebuild ,both could be butties or one motor or horse drawn and one buttie . maybe im being unrealistic about finding them but im sure there is possibly some out there my eventual aim is to live in one and use the other as my workshop to make furniture . if i cant find wooden boats then steel would be fine to
