If you are going to dress up as a soldier of the period, particularly assuming three stripes, you should get the weapon handling right. I was trained to use sten gun as a National Serviceman 70 years ago. One of the first rules was to fit the magazine with a firm push, which is all that is needed. Banging the end after you have pushed it in and felt it click is not only totally unnecessary but also dangerous as it risks dislodging the first round which then jams the weapon so it won’t fire.

Thank you for your advice but this isn't a real Sten gun and the magazines are a very poor fit so some need a good whack to get them in while others fit as you say they should.

Good. I told a mate I was now putting e10 in my 2021 Kawasaki and he said I really shouldn’t. O ring damage would happen. If e10 was damaging newer o rings, it’d be visible by now on this test.
@thra5herxb12s14 күн бұрын
There's a lot of misinformation regarding E10, and even if it did contain the full 10%, it would still be very dilute. Of course there are those that will say it's continuous wetting and drying that causes the rubber to perish, but most O rings have been made from Viton for many years, which is highly resistant to ethanol. My test was not truly scientific, but it did show that nothing bad happened.

@thra5herxb12sАй бұрын
Hello. It's possible you have a dirty oil pump return that might be slowing down the scavenge back to the tank. Any excess oil in the engine will continue to fly around and can get past the rings. Clean out the pump and the gauze strainer in the sump plate to make sure they are clean, and also make sure the oil pipe in the sump plate is free from sludge as this can reduce its diameter over time and also reduce the return rate. It is also possible for oil to enter the inlet valve guide and into the cylinder if your guides are badly worn. Start with the easiest thing first 👍

I have had my experience with this horrible road, Well, it might be hard taking a motorbike up there, but how about a car?! This incident happened probably due to a cheap satnav sending us up this TRACK! we got about halfway and our car Front wheels lifted off the ground, this cause the car to fall backwards quite quickly, after that happened, we had to reverse the whole way back down! While we were reversing down, some people were walking up the track, and told us that it was blocked off at the top.. So even if we did keep going, it was blocked off.. There was a closed road sign at the bottom of the road, but it seem to have fallen over, so we decided to ignore it.! The car is going to its MOT check soon... Hopefully there's nothing wrong with it!! Horrible experiences with this road!!! P.S. - don't buy cheap satnav's I also found a numberplate on the side of the track.. it came off a blue Volkswagen I think, I wonder what happened?
