Simplicity 8HP chipper / mulcher - needs repair

Paul from Tamahere

This unit was bought around 2003 for $2500 and has had less than 100 hours use.
When it was started after a couple of years in storage it would not start (no spark).
The ignition coil was replaced and it still would not start. Took it to mechanic who said something had slipped in the timing and … View more
This unit was bought around 2003 for $2500 and has had less than 100 hours use.
When it was started after a couple of years in storage it would not start (no spark).
The ignition coil was replaced and it still would not start. Took it to mechanic who said something had slipped in the timing and parts were not available. I do not have time to research and confirm, so here is a steal for a keen home handyman - you could replace the motor or fix this one. It is a Tecumseh brand, but looks like other motors would fit. The chipper itself is a very robust USA made unit.

Price: $125

Hi - Can anyone recommend an honest, reliable, not too expensive electrician to do a few small jobs re: lights in my home. They need to be a registered one, as insurance won't cover others. Thanks

We all understand that and we notice pretty quickly when it’s not going well – shortness of breath, struggling to exhale, coughing, tiredness, lack of sleep and/or continual waking are some of the symptoms.
To help slow down the lung aging process it’s important that we:
Breathe in clean air, indoor and outdoor - trying to reduce things like household cleaning chemicals and exposure to pollution
Exercise often to build the lungs and heart (which are muscles), even if it’s just gently – a walk or yoga is fantastic
Eat lung-healthy foods and beverages such as fresh fruit and vegetables and catechin rich green teas.

If you enjoy going to the movies, especially at the Lido here in Hamilton (which is so convivial) - and you love animals, photography and exotic places, then the Velvet Queen is a movie you must not miss

It is absolutely, hands down the most beautifully photographed documentary I have ever seen. It is of the quest to film the Tibetan Snow Leopard (once upon a time thought to be extinct)
The scenery is unbelievable, and very rarely photographed, the animals exquisite and the comments/poetry that quietly accompanies the two men while they film, is just beautiful.
It truly is a doorway into a pristine world, unfettered by humans, free of noxious fumes, but full of the power of nature, in harmony with the animals that depend on its extreme conditions to survive
