  1. Past hour
  2. Old Honda made in Japan were good . New Honda made in China not so good . Not as good as Loncin .
  3. I've had a brief go on a Relfex.. Short answer is worth getting if your on the fence, mainly due to the price. Easier than a RRP to get on the line, not as easy as an akimbo or BDB. Unsure on the ergonomics or how to hold it, guess that would come with use. Currently I prefer ones that have a bird, RRP, BDB etc It's short enough, would be very short direct onto the bridge but stuck there. I reckon a perfectO to the bridge or small ring would be OK. Otherwise the swivel will need replacing most Lolers. Also the swivel means you can disconnect to pass it around a branch. Not a big deal as its relatively easy to take on off the line instead, but still more of a faff. It tends well ascending and coming in off a limb and feels slick. I don't get the need for a wrench. I reckon it'll be a pretty good device. Especially for those who go between MRS and SRT. It feels heavy and bulky in the hand which soon becomes irrelevant when it's on the rope. For myself it's of no benefit over the two BDB's I use. With one of them being set up shorter than this can ever go. If your on the fence, then buy one.
  4. Better than old school Honda, Honda isn't good at all
  5. What an odd response. I am indeed Universally educated. I also spend half my time away from home. Made peace with drinking some years ago. Why are you so bitter? You have a good job, wife, kids, house, can afford to move when pylons move in. You've clearly had a humour bypass at some point, and you still haven't answered what kind of music you like?
  6. You claim to be university educated, you still live in your hometown, apparently you run your own business ( tax efficiently) why do you need alcohol so badly in your life ??
  7. Your 461 and 066 will be going long after these more modern machines have clapped out. The 550 has the Husqvarna air cleaning system where the flywheel fins spin the air in to the air box so it is relatively clean before it hits the air filter. There was a vid on YouTube with a Husky and Stihl running side by side and he piled saw chip over both saws, turned them off and looked at the air filter. The Husky was remarkably clean. I would give the carb a service, new diaphragms and fuel strainer (the one in the carb) and would then get someone who knows what they are doing to adjust the carb L screw and tach it on the H screw. I have gone many and every one ran lean and was revving higher than it should. Less fuel makes the saw more difficult to start. It is worth making sure that the choke is actually completely shutting off the choke when applied and the fast idle setting is actually holding the throttle open a bit. This will show up as the saw not revving much on the mid setting between choke and idle on the choke lever. It is all basic stuff.....these saws should burp on two pulls and start on the third if cold. No saw should need 8-10 pulls or more to get it going
  8. You live in Aberdeen, spend half your time on a boat. Seem to have the earned resources to keep you and yours in good health. Why are you so bitter, or it just that you get a dopamine rush when someone responds to anything you post?
  9. Make places like Somerset take more migrants, Danish minister tells UK APPLE.NEWS Denmark’s employment minister Kaare Dybvad Bek warns that centrist parties need to get a grip on... She should F..k right off, if you want only one reason to not be involved in that EU shitshow that’s it for me.

  13. He was 95, so not really sad. Robert Duvall has gone. Absolutely brilliant in everything , but in especially good in The Godfather.
  14. That must have been a bitter pill to swallow.
  15. Not stamped on the device, I'll check the user instructions when i get chance. It's pretty uncommon for friction devices to have an MBS. Generally speaking the safety factor for hardware is 5:1.

  22. Not Ashes but Aus could go out of the T20 World Cup tomorrow without making the last 8; they've just been whopped by Sri Lanka. Come on Zimbabwe - we need you to beat Ireland (sorry on this occasion Ireland).
  23. NFU put a 6m restriction on mine years back, so I had to move. I’m tempted to go back now tbh!
