What the feck have you done today?
- Thread starter The GOAT
- Start date
Got my waterblaster going today.
Bit of a faf. Fitted the nee starter, gave it a pull and snapped the plastic handle..
So fucken hard tonpull start.
Then i remember the last petrol one i had 30 years back, you had to hold the triger of the gun open when starting or the pump adds a fuck load of pressure.
So i fitted the old handle to the new starter and tried again , success!
Only thing as i had put a small clamp on the triger so when she fired up the hose and gun took off flying and soaking everything before i got composed enough to hit the off switch.
Its 4500 psi so the hose was whipping around pretty good!
Next time i just held the trigger open with my foot.
So its up and running for a bit, then the gun starts playing up. Pull the trigger and nothing. So i switch it off and call my mate to borrow his gun. I take mine to his place and he has a look, tells me the tip is fucked, gives me another top and off i go home.
Fire the thing up and same shit happens.
It aint the tip as i can remove it while the machine is running so no pressure is getting to it.
So tomorrow ill go back and borrow his gun like i set out to do today.. then if it works ok i shall buy a new fucken gun!!!!

Maybe get an adult to start it for you in future and supervise while you blast water everywhere?
In Calais they are called canoe's
Cool story dude, riveting
Thought for Today:
"And just what are you planning to do with our daughter?"
I've only seen dead ones that the cat had been near...... plenty of hills though
Nice if it's not your field / lawn they're in.
I've caught plenty in the past, and seen a few live ones that have just burrowed out.
Anyone know where i can get one of these in the UK??
No, I was thinking of having some made a couple of years ago but couldn't be bothered in the end
Be nice if i could find them locally....the oem fuel hose fittings are shitty at best...might just have to take it on the chin for the tax....No, I was thinking of having some made a couple of years ago but couldn't be bothered in the end
As it was such a nice sunny day, I got the old trowel out and finished my wall.
I found out years ago, that with a steady eye, you don't need strings, lines and plumb bobs.

The secret is in the preparation
Still looking for a car, Ive ruled out the Mercs, toyed with the idea of a Jaguar, but with my budget also ruled that out, favourite at the mo is an Audi Q3 in Manchester, I’ll bib over there, maybe tomorrow.
Last night was the AGM of the Sheff IAM, I won the photo comp again with this one.
Also won the raffle, but left the bottles of wine on the table when I left.

If you go for the Q3 don't get one with the pan roof. They are notorious for leaking and very expensive to fix.
