Yeah man, I flew for 10 years.
It was an experience alright.
Given your own machine for the mustering season. Took me all over the top end and down to the channel country. 🤜
Another life ago.
Flying around the Aussie Bush chasing cattle. 🙂
It’s a lazy Slim Dusty kinda Saturday.
Enjoy your weekend folks… wherever you may be. 🤠
Just saw this convo.
Loving your travel stories Mac,
Maybe one day we will meet.
As you know, i’ve had the pleasure of meeting nostr:nprofile1qqsfdjrhvhvspvtf7h7a30qeh7tmmrrdzcllg94gn4zuhd72cjxfgvcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvdhk6tnpw5hsrkcp7l … never a more kind gentle genuine man you’d ever wish to meet… and the term “bitcoiner” could have deadset been etched out of him as a template.
Stay safe. 🙏🧡

Caveat…
We actually used to do this with the R22 starters that wouldn’t throw out/engage when we were out bush that’d allow us to fly back home to get the starters replaced. 🤙🏻🤜🏻
I hear ya… that’s where I sorta got to…
Can you just lever the starter cog up into the fly wheel with a screw driver and give it a crank?
It “should” spin it and drop back down.*
*Look at me go with my small motor mechanic bullshit! 😂
Yeah… that idea of mine didn’t work.
With yours, something’s gotta lift the cog up to engage in your flywheel?
Hmmm. I did.
My battery was flat (ish)
I charged it. Still the same.
Put the charger directly on the genset. Still the same.
I’ve got a new 12v battery for the Tojo in the shed… I might try a higher amp hr battery up it. 👍🏻
Yeah. I “went in” today. Got close but couldn’t get the starter off. The 3rd screw was inaccessible unless I pulled the whole genset apart… which ain’t happening 😂
I’ve sent an email off, otherwise it’s pull start from now on.
It’s not the end of the world. 🙏🏻🤜🏻
I went to the place I bought it.
“It’s only got 2 hours on it mate!”
“It’s only two years old!”
Seller: “Yeah, it’s an older unit, probably rusty from the wet weather*”… “would be an easy fix”
Me: “warranty?”
Seller: “out of luck m8”
* we live near the Desert! 😂
Deadset cunts… won’t be going back.
(Scuse my French) 💅🏻😂
It’s the start run button.
Put it in the middle and you can use a remote fob to start it or to pull start it.
Hold it up and release to middle … the starter motor kicks in.
Was working fine. Only done a few hours.
Got it out to run it. 🤷🏻♂️
It runs fine pull started.
Will pull it apart tomorrow.
Any small motor mechanics out there?
Thinking the bendix on this fairly new generator isn’t “throwing out?” 🙏🏻
We get birds in the back yard (they’ve disappeared for now) but I’m sure they’ll use it once they know it’s there.
We get the bees in the bottle brush behind it too. 🙂
Got mine from a garden place. Perfect size for me.
I see others make their own out of old baking dishes etc.
Great minds. 😬🤜🏻
I’m at “Imma gunna buy a bird bath” stage in my life. 🥰
