Looks pretty scummy in there....only one of the two tabs were folded up .....this is the original chain/sprocket .....the chain was a bugger  to get off.....bent two pins in the breaker so we had to resort to mr dewalt...











I tried to be artistic with the sparkly fotos for the hedgetrimmer

Any bit of scrap iron will do, though avoid stainless as that's got chromium in which can make very toxic compounds.

I've got some restrictor mushrooms that go in the top of the carbs. You can have them for nothing......Cos we all know you won't be able to handle the power after riding that girls bike for so long. :lol

I know it's sad Mr Slim....but sometimes life throws things at u and u just gotta pull ur bearings out and manage it....lol....having only had long term relationships with women I can happily say I've learnt to scratch my arse, pick my nose,  and cough and fart at the same time so fixin up a bike with sum help from u lot shud be straight forward ....ish if u factor my fettle skills hehe....
