And it's things just like this that makes this Forum so valuable!

None of us can know everything, though sometimes we think we do, but all of us together can know most of what needs to be known about our hobby and share that info as and when needed!!!

Well said Daniel😊

Thanks @Ironhorse57

 wow it doesn't take much to stop these. I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get this to run yesterday all to no avail.

The slightest colour showed up on white tissue when I cleaned the power piston and cylinder, put it back together and instantly back to the superb runner that its always been.

G'day all,
I have a Bohm HB31 that's always been a superb runner, haven't used it for a year and I can't get it to run.
What would you start to look at and work through checking to get it running?
