you can't use most of the blades if they don't lock in as many are double sided but it's classed as a Multi tool not a knife

The part that causes the issues is in top part of carb when open up it's a tiny Gauze filter remove with something like a bent safety pin! or squirt in place but making sure engine isn't running too long on carb/brake cleaner type stuff as "No Oil" Easy to diagnose! if fires up ok on choke but...

Re Extraction if garage/shed has a gable roof put an extractor fan up there like many paint shop garages and has fumes rise that sucks it out. As long as the airs moving through garage you should be good to go so often won't need a kit that will suck the neighbours cat off the floor! You can get...

check on You tube Tinmans saw's and Iron horse they build them for chainsaws and they explain along with timing and porting jugs! and creating/keeping the back pressure. And were not talking 30cc there doing 70cc plus they had a 125cc! This guy's totally mad but they build saws for him and see...

Makita HR2450 etc(they have a few versions similar)Are great the later 2451? has a drop out chuck so can drill more precise than an SDS to Jacobs "Wobbly" There 2KG size which is a pretty useful size as the 4KG type are more like a breaker and chunky but not too unwieldy as ie used for various...

SDS drilling isn't about "Precision" for one the bit isn't fixed into the chuck just a push in/click held bits. If you want precision your better off starting with Multi construction drill bits to start hole then SDS the rest. You rarely wear SDS bits out unless using all day long into dense...

My Mens shed has just broken a 351 down as motor was toast. There is/was? as one of them took the frame to the tip but know the base is still there and there was the rest of it ie wheels which are good and mechanisms plus table.

Myself i'd head to a "Decent"bike shop for some info/items as pretty sure they do step up/reducer rings for them?. I know we had various items when was in the trade and others i knew that did more elaborate bikes/Frame building etc had even more. But if your going down the make it yourself...

You might find you have come across cross standards issue? As the frame could be Ahead etc types yes the Yanks have a lot of changes for sake of changes! and Ahead frame headstocks are bigger than the old style threaded headsets. 1 inch.1,1/8".1,1/4"...

Try and pick up something like a GST 85 a solid machine and you can easily open the front to grease/change bits unlike the later ones that are clam shell style Mines a Millennium one and still going strong friends is even earlier in 110v he took it in repair shop to fix blade holder knob up top...

He could do! As long as you fund it!

Corded Recip saw are cheap! plenty of blades to choose from and just make a jig up out of bits and pieces wood etc to hold victim down then can chop up smaller easier. your better off with a 5" grinder than 4" as there engineering grinder for bench type work so limited discs so if buying another...

If still stuck guy that runs our mens shed picked up a couple of them other day there small/half sized types

Plasma cutters use air small compressor will run it and there are some all in one but limited cutting. Jigsaws are not great for steel cutting apart from tin as the often will drop the blade as a lot of stress on the T part. 5" or better still a 7" grinder with a 1mm disc can also get in .80mm...

Get the Capacitor checked/changed our bandsaw had it at mens shed would start slowly like a slipping clutch on car and would pick up but like off key type sound but it killed motor in the end.

Go round engine and check crank case bolts as notorious for bolts that keep crank case together to come loose which then means poor compression and white smoke. Which is often a symptom of an air leak. You have changed carb for new one as often when left and starts only on choke either won't...
