A question for you mainland hunters, has the rabbit RHD virus done much damage to the rabbit population up there?

certainly around our area. There is still a population,but nowhere near what it was 10 years ago.

i hope there will be down here as well there yummy.

i used to take the compound bow out and come home with a bunny or two nearly everytime 10 years ago.
Nowadays,i dont even bother, if i'm just going to be walking around in the bush,then i would rather not carry the bow.

No rabbit problem here ATM but the roos are keeping the grass down, heaps of them ATM.....going to have to get the big freezer setup, 1 decent size should keep my dogs fed for a month or two.

While mountain bike riding at lysterfield park of an evening it's rare to see rabbits. Less than a handful in the really quite areas.
But Roos ?!? Gunna have to fit a roo bar soon. Wouldnt be a ride without nearly collecting a few. !

 

[skipster]

a roo bar on a mountain bike!? build one ,Vince!

Yes can just see now what Vince puts on

Bugger.

Sounds like the PSU has shít itself, if it has one.

A common problem with Chinese electronics is they are often not properly designed to run on 240v but run fine on 110-120v.

Hopefully it hasn't fried the circuit board or made the case/liquid live.

Looks like an on board fuse has popped

Wonder what has caused that to blow so soon

 

[chippy]

I think you may have found the problem. Check for continuity across that fuse.

Just be mindful it may be a resistor type fuse, but it doesn't look a whole lot like one to me.

I'm guessing it blew because you have a short caused by a melt down...has the top of the bottom black capacitor popped a little bit? There are 2 of them.

 

[chippy]

I'm wondering if it got moisture in it.

Does the transformer marked SY-1 LOOK OK?

 

[husq2100]

Has it got Lucas stamped on it anywhere????

[2strokenut]

[skipster]

jeez,good shot.
every bunny i shot with an air rifle as a kid ran off laughing at me.

 

[skipster]

Has it got Lucas stamped on it anywhere????

as in Lucas,prince of darkness.
reminds me of the old joke "why arent English motorcycle riders scared of the dark?"
because they spend so much of their time sitting on the side of the road in it.......

 

[2strokenut]
