Thanks all for the replies. i too have used Simply Bearings for many years as it happens, so I asked them the same question. They had not seen an "SH" marking but also suggested C3 types are normally marked. I'm sure two-strokes I've rebuilt in the past use C3 mains, maybe as they don't h...

They are 6306 as stamped on the sides which is a bearing conforming to international standards if you want to confirm.

Clear is 9 litres black is 12litres, I get about 70 to 80 miles from the smaller tank

There should be a non return valve at the point the pipe enters the tank. When the switch cuts out it should dump the pressure between the compressor and that check valve so there is no load on the motor when it starts up. May be that check valve is leaking so the motor cannot overcome the pressure ...

Great find africanik - copy downloaded and stored away just in case (thumbs) @Tim - "I prefer things that "just work." Life is too short to be messing around like this." Don't disagree with the sentiment, but as you have found with Mapsource, sometimes the mass-market just don't ...

Adrian Flux are terrible took out a car policy online through a comparison site, only to discover when the paper work arrived it did not cover commuting. Rang them to sort it day before the policy started and they wanted 98 quid to upgrade the policy or 70 admin fee for cancelling. Nowhere in the qu...
