  1. I was curious to see what this offering was, but couldn’t open the folder directly without permission. I ask for permission from Google Drive and @Ali Fra sent me a email message right away, sharing the picture folder with me. Nice piece of kit!! GLWTS
  2. @audiomick Here are the original Hose Remover Pliers ==> Linky
  3. This tool is for an entirely different purpose, the jaws separate as you squeeze the handles where the green tool discussed above has the opposite action of bringing the jaws together as the handles are being squeezed. It works by fitting on the fuel line connector and pushing the retaining collar back while allowing you to hold and push the whole connector forward towards the elbow with one hand. Just make sure to hold the notoriously fragile elbow coming out of the tank with your other hand. Now, if you use that other tool successfully for disconnecting your fuel line, great! Its main purpose though is to disconnect rubber tube from their fittings by pushing the end of the tube away from the fitting. As you probably know, if you’ve ever tried pulling on a rubber hose to disconnect it from whatever it is attached to, the harder you pull, the tighter it gets.
  4. If you really want/need to standardize the font on a C&P post, look at the bottom of the post/reply window after you paste your text, a black banner will appear with the option to keep the text as "Rich Text" or paste it as "Plain Text" instead. Click on the latter and Voilà, your post has now been standardized . . .
  5. Hey @Tomchri, I think you forgot XYZ . . .
  6. Yes, they are pretty crude stamped steel chinesium offering but the thing is that they are a simple tool for a simple task and they work fine, helps squeeze the retaining collar on the QD fuel line connector. Much easier than with fingers, especially if you have big hands and arthritic fingers like me. And they used to be priced accordingly, I got mine for less than $12 on Ebay a while back, now close to $30 Linky
  7. The Becker-Technik work stand is great, the problem is that BT won’t ship directly to the USA (or North America?). Stein Dinse will, but with the crazy import tariffs in place, it might no longer be a financially viable option. MG Cycles is the US Importer ($$$) ==> Linky
  8. Tap and Hold on an iPad = right click on PC, opens up a menu allowing similar functions.
  9. Something wrong with your map . . . It says “ Gulf of Mexico” . . . twice!
  10. Key On, Engine On . . . also works.
  11. Knowing the level of sophistication of the Italian electrical system . . . It could well happen
  12. “KOEO” . . . That acronym makes my head spin . . . On or Off???
