Larger cars/suv’s etc already are taxed more 🤷‍♂️ HGV’s pay an astronomical amount to be on the road. If you can find an alternative to rubber tyres or a new brake pad material, let me know if you need any financial assistance to get it going, I reckon that could be a winner. 🤪

From the description, it sounds like the saw is running very rich so... Blocked air filter Choke stuck partially on Check valve stuck open Assuming the H adjustment is set correctly!

I did once purchased a genuine Zama carb from China for a 201 and 150 for something like £15 off eBay. Worth a good look.

The logic does kind of apply to cars, but the logic isn't being applied, if you see what I mean. Yes, they're cleaning up the combustion emissions, but the government is doing nothing, (that I've seen anyway), to address the problem of brake and tyre emissions. In fact the problem is getting worse year on year, as cars get ever bigger, heavier and more numerous. Looks like they've got the right idea in France. We could be taking a similar approach, rather than trying to stop people burning wood. Why do so many people need a SUV in a city anyway? 'Carspreading’ is on the rise - not everyone is happy WWW.BBC.CO.UK In the UK and across Europe, cars are becoming longer, wider and heavier.

You still running the open coal fire SP ?

Saw this at lunch time. It turned up with larger pallet of turf on front of trailer and took it off with forklift and left rear one were it was, thought they would of put it in middle but no just strapped it on and drove off, back wheel had got little weight on

Yes that has happened - a few comments on this forum to that extent also. 'Kiln dried' being the consumers expectation, many of the smaller producers and suppliers cannot do that or justify doing that. But that is the same with all adverts though, nothing to do with stoves, got to be able to substantiate your claims (in the UK terrestrial adverts at least, not sure about online) Not sure that will be a retrospective thing though, back to how they would police it... a once a year Christmas fire unless you are dragging the inspectors out on Christmas day? Though yes, if the price was acceptable I would have had one installed too. Yes, not a lot of electricity use... if that bothered me I would be training the teenagers that light switches work on AND off !

Jealous Mark ?? Im sure the kids who will benefit will feel differently than you. We are all dying soon in the grand scale of things, love him or hate him Trump is certainly gonna leave his Mark.

Scrap it , could be opening can of worms and its a cheapo saw, decent carbs are not cheap and ud be half way there with labour for a new saw ,

You haven't mentioned piston and cylinder condition, easy to check and if fubar then no point buying a carb.

I for one, would love to see some pictures please. I had a tour of a watermill in Brittany a couple of years ago, friends of friends. It was fascinating. There's seems to be no shortage of old watermills still kicking around in France.

Sounds interesting so post some up.

If you buy a typical cheap ebay 'aftermarket' copy carb, then buy two or three while you're doing so, as sure as eggis is eggs, the first two will be shite...unless you are lucky.

Trumps apparently worth $7bn. He could have donated that himself still had $750m, which he's unlikely to spend as he's going to die soon, plus he has his golf clubs and his free jet, and that all important ballroom. He's not a hero or a leader, he's a conman. Not unlike Farage.

Unfortunately it’s the nanny state not allowing some platforms, obviously adult content etc. YouTube will be no problem 👍

Looking for an after market carb to fit my trusty old saw and there lies the problem. It's a Zama c1q s119B. From my research it would seem that there was not an after market carb produced for this one. I don't want to pay £100 for an oem carb for an old saw. someone recommended Rowena motors, but they were unable to help. I'm thinking that there must be another after market carb which will fit my saw. There seem to be some that look exactly the same as mine. I'm no expert so don't want to take a punt on one. I've had lots of help on here in the past from spudulike and others which have helped me to keep my saw running well so i'm hoping someone might have an idea how to solve this problem. A little information which suggests to me it might be a carb issue. It will start and idle one day, but the next day it might start but then stall at idle after a few seconds or perhaps a minute. I can keep it running with some throttle, but then it will cut out if I take my finger off the throttle. Adjusting the L screw in or out does not cure the problem, neither does turning the idle screw in to increase the idling revs. If I turn the idle screw all the way in the chain does not run on the bar as I would have expected it to. It's also producing a fair amount of white smoke on starting up and it's burning through fuel very quickly. On a day when it does start and run, there is no issue with bogging on acceleration. Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi. I am certainly NOT 'landed gentry' - just very lucky ! 20 years ago I bought an old mill house in central France and Hornbeam was a necessity for the mill. We still have the mill gear but sadly no millstream ! When it was working, one of the gears on the mechanism is made of cast iron whilst the teeth on the corresponding cog were made of Hornbeam (as above - it's very hard). That way if for any reason there was a jam all the wooden teeth broke (rather than cast against cast). Replace all the teeth and it was up and running again in about 1/2 an hour with very little effort - genius eh? Very common round these parts. I can put some pictures up if you want ?

11 officers ffs 🤦 are you joking

Says who ?? The SNP have pulled off some proper ludicrous senseless bans up here including with wood burners as you know, they baled out of that after realising that the creature Harvey who pushed it was potentially gonna cost them dearly at the ballot box in rural areas. On a serious note why anyone is still burning imported coal on an open fire in this day and age is beyond me. There are loads of good multi fuel stoves that are far more efficient than an open fire, you are unfortunately not gonna get away from the fact that the emissions from domestic coal burning are not something that’s gonna rub in 2025. In the new property im moving to the first task will be to remove the existing multi fuel fire ( I absolutely refuse to buy imported coal) and fit a new Morso 6843 the same stove we’ve had for the last 14 years in our current property, brilliant bit of kit and once hot you get virtually zero smoke. I don’t give a damn about a couple of grand, that will soon be recouped burning free milling waste or wind blown sourced logs.

Bit strange that her attacker hasn't seemilngly been charged with anything. Court system is stuffed, though. Plus, howay? The Daily Hate Mail isn't a good source for news.

I get it and completely understand , then I read it through again, and whopper choppa was referring to for being sold to.flip flops . Im referring to log splitters cooking themselves. See you've answered yourself decent size oil reservoir, most sub ten ton diggers and log splitters dont have that, so all the machinery ive brought has oil coolers fitted from factory standard
