There are websites that will convert HEIC to JPEG for free.

I’ve used them in the past.

Memories of jumping out of the back of the Bedford CF van before it had come to stop with a hand crate in each hand have been brought back to when I was a loon! I remember getting braver and braver until I over cooked it and yes there was glass and milk and me lying on the road. Had to endure the wrath of the boss man then who was the driver. The other thing I remember clearly was Sat delivery was double order and money collection day too. In them days (early seventies) customers rather than get a knock on the door would just leave the money on the doorstep either in an envelope or just loose change in empty bottles. Just seemed to be the norm then and never heard of any money going missing. Must be about 30 years since we lost the glass bottles here, not much “chink” with plastic!😂 Changed days!😳😁

Great that people can still do that Gareth, although yes might be a nuisance for the dairy. We had our milk delivered always until roughly 14 months ago, just realised we were actually paying double what we can get it from the local supermarket. Costs have to be met yes of course for the service but we are at a shop most days anyway.

My mum is 89 and still insists on putting out cash for her milkman. She puts out notes for more or less milk as well. It must drive the milkman nuts. Most of his customers pay by direct debit but mum refuses to do that! 😂

Johnny, on your iPhone can you change the camera resolution to a smaller file size? 3mb or less and they will then post ok. 🤞

Thanks for this. I will test the throttle tomorrow and start there. I'll also look into the idle circuit set up...

They are similar to your garden machinery in some effect. The adjustment screw on these carb is engine side of throttle slide and controls fuel (unlike predecessor, with air adjustment) winding out/unscrewing should bring more fuel to low speed.

Changing each one in isolation should bring about obvious shift in running for that cylinder, no response suggests impairment as way of assessment.

The aim in Honda setup routine is to bring them to borderline lean point to give combustion reference, then lift the mixture a little toward richer ( they indicate  100 rpm drop from that richer state) to get them as good for further evaluation. 

If left too lean on this circuit, that forces you to then run the slides lower than ideal in controlling the tickover aim point. That can give some of the inconsistencies you've currently got.

I agree with Ash,
The ProXL clear is excellent stuff.
I've done a small tank and also prepared other stuff for it, because once it's activated it won't keep long.

Do wear a proper mask tho.

I actually used the SprayMax clear it was the ProXL primer I used but nice to know that the ProXL clear is good too.

I often just do a screenshot using Snipping Tool in Windows. Resolute enough and not s massive file ... so posts easily.

I don’t know if this is your issue, but I had an issue with Iphone photos following an IOS update. Following the update my Iphone was saving the photos as HIEC files. I couldn’t look at these photos on my laptop unless I converted them to JPEG.

It’s a PITA as all existing photos have been converted to HIEC, I keep meaning to see if there is an easy way to change the saved HIEC photos back but haven’t had chance yet.

You can disable HEIC on your iPhone in Settings - Camera - Formats and selecting ‘Most Compatible’ instead of ‘High Efficiency.’ This will save all future photos in JPEG format.

Blue tits raiding the cream ...when did that last happen?  ;D

Always surprised me as a kid that the birds knew there was something to eat in a non natural container.

We've seen a big resurgence in small birds here in our immediate surroundings, with a "reduction" in squirrel population the bird eggs survive.

Although last week a sparrow hawk came and took a small bird as it tried to get desperately into some bushes right outside rear door of house.

Think it was sparrow, as primarily brown with banding on tail feathers, and of that size too. Considerable speed and dexterity in hunting and quite something to watch.

A fair few owl and woodpecker in wider tree cover around this location.
