The BM100/3 needs a little tweaking to get one of the resistance ranges to read correctly, but we have the service manual so that is something I'll have a go at over the weekend. We are really getting into collecting test gear now, both old and new, it's a fascinating subject, just as interesting as lamps in its own way

Speaking of mowing, had to break out the Honda today and mow, got it done in record time. Also had to fix the edger as the guard plate fell off, and then I couldn't use it because the string did not want to extend, looked it up and I was using it wrong the whole time. @Tim: Maybe you should engine swap it

@ Jamie : Yep ! the Float hung up and filled the cylinders with fuel ! Since I had to remove the engine cover , air cleaner and intake manifold to get the carb off anyways , I figured I'd just replace the damned thing since it's 12 years old . I only wanted to take the thing apart once . During the summer , I sometimes have to mow twice a week . I'm mowing 1 3/4 acres .  @ Bulbman : That video looks like something Tim Allen would do !

@Joseph: It'll cut grass as fast as you dare drive it! We all know Tim Allen wouldn't stop there, he would at least have a supercharger bolted on.

We had a home made curry.! Getting the meat prepared if you have a decent knife to cut it with makes all the difference.  I've had the one I use for close on thirty years, it's sharpened on a regular basis and is still as good as the day I bought it.!
