In the time sheet what constitutes a “fail”

A great result for sunday Another personal best time this time for the figure of 8 course.    Both days I was second on track to Len but I should beat him on handicap as I broke my bogey time for both days the 2 lapper on Saturday and the fig 8 on Sunday.     

Unbelievable, stunning how many more superlatives can I get in. Toooooooo good to paint just clear lacquer.!!!

My thoughts exactly. Wow...

This morning I played with the overdrive solenoid. Stage 1 involved fettling an old whitworth spanner (donated by Alan OTU (RIP) some time back - thanks mate, you are not forgotten!) to 1”. Access was tight but possible. Circlip came out without a major battle but the plug it retained was happy where it was. Self tapper in the hole in the end persuaded it. The shuttle itself though was determined to stay put. Really not surprised it was sticking.  I could move it a bit by poking small screwdrivers through the feed holes, but the o-rings were clearly hanging up in the body. Was beginning to despair, then had a lightbulb moment  heatshrink tube….. took a couple of goes to develop the process to get enough hold, but out it came….. All black and sticky and the o-rings very flat and hard.  Hooshed out the body with brake cleaner (the bobbin clacks now!) and polished the shuttle with chrome cleaner. Just need the repair kit now, which is ordered.

This is true, if it had leaked it all out, id have had nothing come out when I took the fill plug off. Typical ill chuck it all back together.

That’s the rules……. Perhaps it just barfed out the excess and now it’s happy.
