Eric, the same thing happened to me a few days ago, although I had not cleared any "cookies" or history. The warning stated a "problem with this site's security certificate".. I took no action and after a day or so.. there was no issue.

I didn't realize that the .15 tool was now in Europe (UK isn't quite out yet), I could have found some good use for it...

I've actually been using the .09 reset tool for the .15 engines as well. It is a little tight around the conrod but it doesn't touch the conrod "ball-end", so it works fine (for me at least).

Here is one I did recently, complete with the venturi fix and the leather tool for removing the cylinder. Smile

I have the forum set up with an SSL Certificate for the purpose of keeping security warnings from appearing. Its a forum so there really isn't any sensitive data being transferred anyway. I did hear that having the login fields anywhere but the dedicated login page (I have them on the sidebar) could cause warnings to appear, but these shouldn't appear after you are logged in.

Yes, I should have said EC rather than Europe...
When I was in England (around -98) people there would say that they went to Europe for their holidays... lol!

I guess they meant "mainland" Europe, but still I didn't get the impression that they felt they were a part of Europe.

Good idea guys, post has been edited to remove address and number. By the way, guess what showed up from the UK today? Tool is now safely in Northeast Pennsylvania, will be put to work shortly! Thanks a million!

Start with a moderate hammer blow rather than a full-on one - see what happens and go from there!

Will do, thanks for the tip. Although I think I'll be starting with a gentle tap!

Just a reminder guys, I am still steward of the excellent .15 piston reset tool here in Lake Ariel. PA. Believe it or not, I haven't ran any of my engines in months as I am waiting for the Cox SuperPower and Davis 1/2a diesel mix to be in stock at Tower Hobbies. Finding a source of reasonably priced Diethyl Ether has proven fruitless, so looks like my dreams of mixing my own brew may not happen until I can convince someone down under to ship me a gallon or two!

John Deere ether in the cans is supposedly mostly ether yet. Should be able to get it at any Deere dealer. Just need to decant it from the can.

The .15 reset tool is back in the land of beer, beef, and cheese.

Any chance I can borrow the .15 reset tool?
I'm trying to break in a Sportsman for a Flying Clown and the slop is BAD!

Also, is there anyone even thinking of making one or two?

Update:
Looks like "Surfer_kris" has a good "work-a-round". I used the .09 tool, VERY carefully and it seemed to work!
On to the test bench!

I'll let Jason know you're interested, and see if it's still available.

getback Wed Jan 04, 2023 7:28 am

So did you talk to Jason since he's not been on here for a long time that i know of ? Happy New Year

**Admin** Wed Jan 04, 2023 5:44 pm

I heard from him not too long ago. I think he's been pretty busy.
