  • I'll take quality over quantity any day, and your videos, sir, are top quality indeed. Well worth the wait.

  • I really like the way the British say, "the belt is perished". An American like James Condon says, "the gas line has become petrified". Both adequate descriptions that the gas line needs changed. James also checks the air filter, and changes it immediately if as he rubs it with his finger & little balls roll off.

  • I really enjoy the videos you produce. The time taken to look at each part and explain the thought process before progressing is excellent. The new mic is working perfectly. Initially, I thought you were narrating the video during editing. It took a few minutes to realise that you were narrating whilst working. Look forward to the next one, keep up the good work 👍

  • I'm happy to see that you have a running engine! As you noted, rings will be needed to eliminate oil consumption. Two elements of your restoration videos that are admirable are your use of NOS Briggs parts that must be rather expensive, especially after shipping fees, and background noises (birds chirping etc). It makes me feel like I'm in the British countryside with you. Cheers.

  • 23:37 you can also use a little bit of naphtha. Tho i wouldn't do this inside an enclosed space as that stuff is naaasty. The risk is well worth it, it dissolves any grime very fast and very well. Whenever i do maintenance on my bike, i take out the engine, and chuck basically everything else that's not rubber or fuel weak plastic in there and they come out clean as new. It does leave a white residue, but some water and a little bit of dish soap cleans it fast.

And in dead zones between talking, the background activities are also crisp but not too loud to be overpowering. Perfection as always.
