Thats definitely just the varnish, if it was the wood you would see it through the varnish. You can always rub it down a bit if your worried and re varnish it .. Its also going against the grain if it were splitting it would be with it >>

It makes your washing smell !!

Well you know what they say about smoke !!

Jesus what happened there ?

I spoke to Andy at sky dragons and asked him if it was the timing, his answer was 100 % not. And the timing was not something that has ever moved to his knowledge on a pa. If your stuck you can always take it to skydragons (uk pap dealer) and he will sort it. You can find the kits on here... http://www.skydragons.co.uk/

I had lots of little issues with the pa, one being pap wouldn't warrant the warranty cause i brought it second hand, even though it only had 4 hours on it. I wont go into detail.. I may of had a few more hours than that but the needle valve was worn ( little rubber on the end) and it was letting in to much fuel causing it to get high compression (intermittently). Sounds like the same problem that you are having, you can get a carb kit from sky dragons, and it should come with the needle valve.. You may have a different problem but defo sounds like that to me.. Its a bastard when it kicks back at you nearly took my fingers off !! I have now got a Bulldog moster and am now a happy bunny !!!

Hopefully picking up a nucleon early next year, if not the old synth will do to cut my teeth.. Definitely want to get into comps and it would be good to train with someone . Try and beat each others time and see where we are going wrong. Our field in barling should be ok for setting up some sticks, but at the moment im not even sure who owns it..

This is something i wish to start doing,so if you need a practice partner, or a change of scenery.. Let me know !!!

Hi Henry . I had the same problem as you , to much compression . Mine started at about 28 hours use. First thing idid was to decoke the head and top of piston. That helped at first but it became coked up again. So next step was a new carb kit including needle valve ( thanks Neilzy) the needle valve was worn and pop off presure was out. Think it was only on about 4lbs , so adjusted this to about 12lbs and with new kit and all. Problem was solved, so renew your carb kit with needle valve check pop presure and all should be sorted. I also had the pa 125 !! Hope this helps

Thanks Simon
