Re: Piston ring gap position.

If your 70's Garrelli Tiger Cross moped should ever break a top ring and stop running , and you're a poor schoolboy :( ...you can use a bicyle spoke bent into a circle, snipped off with side cutters, as a piston ring, and the engine will actually run again.. for a short period. 8-)

Re: Lawnmower parts questions.. (Zipgun?)

I saw an Allett cylinder mower (££££ ) on ebay with a reliant gearbox ?? He couldn't spell "spares " properly either so maybe not
