Thanks for the replies. I have had the saw since 2017, maybe even before then, it was newly purchased. I had a 441. Went to replace it and a 461 was not much more so went with that. I have put some hours on it out felling and ringing up timber over the years. The saw to me doesn't strike me as low on compression but has always taken a decent number of pulls before it would fire. One thing that knarks me off is that this saw picks up sawdust around the air filter like crazy, compared to my 550xp where I hardly ever need to.clean the air filter out. I do.notice that fine dust can get past the air filter where the filter mates against the case, always thought it should have a better seal. I doubt I have ever been at the carb adjustment screws so maybe it does need some adjustment. As for fuel left in it. It was a saw that used to go out fairly frequently but certainly the last year it has had some periods of rest. So that certainly could be an issue. My 066 is in a similar boat with even longer periods, that takes a number of pulls to get going but chugs through the lumber at a sedate pace, two saws that are not setting the world ablaze.

Value for money, possibly?

Try looking at a few of the YouTube vids, the guys on there test all sorts and compare power outputs and check the metal debris in the oil etc. I have Loncins on a Rover mower and chipper, both have been fine for me.

Looks like the standard carb to me, I don't think I have ever seen a copy, probably too difficult to manufacture cheaply.

Have to love customers like that. Fortunately I was pretty lucky and had very few like this👍

I bought the same machine from Agri-Euro for €1372 inc. tax and delivery. Originally for a 3 day zero parking and nightmare access garden thrash in a medieval town. It saved our business thousands in hire costs during my Vanguard Efi woes in the dark days of COVID. It's not as smooth to feed compared to a CS100 being narrower and the infeed having a ledge and protruding bolt ends. I lent it to a colleague who has now bought a Jansen wee chippette of similar design. Better finish and paint he reports but over a grand more. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGYTJsdI1-E/?igsh=MW1lZzNnZWExbG1mMw==

Over here I've seen it called Irish Mahogany, but that's nativism for you. Can you expand on your comment about types of mahogany?

And it spalts beautifully. This is a bowl Mrs Ed made.

Think it was jo beau , and dare I say it redditch's finest chipper !

Nope , pure aspen , found out factory carb was missing gaskets, but the second carb still made it run rough .sold it in the end as I cant be done with crap machinery.

Alder aka Scotch mahogany as it takes stain very well and can be used to make a passable replacement for mahogany (of some types). I have used it for some cabinet work and quite like it. Easy to work but the wood beetle likes it.

Had it been run on pump fuel prior to this ?

Fender solid body electric guitars were made from Alder in their thousands . It was when they ran out of swamp Ash .

But not -always- expensive: the Hyundai/Chinesium ones are about £20- each, reversible. Although £120- each, for the Cheese biscuit blades(?) on muggin's Forest Master Chineseium chipper (Epic fail -see Small chipper thread). 🫣

Dutch ones may have been willow but cloggies working man's ones were alder with segs in the bottom and leather uppers.

Good and cheap?

A munter can be put on most biners, yes, but most smaller ones not fit two or more which is often required in rock climbing. HMS indicates its suitable for two or more clove hitches. There are plenty of symmertical ones. An example HMS Classic Auto Block - hms carabiner with sleeve - KONG WWW.KONG.IT Aluminium connector with 3 actions Auto Block sleeve and Keylock system It has nothing to do with the shape of the rope basket.

It's true, talking to people in the engineering world the Chinese have made so much investment in everything from education to automation and factory infrastructure that they undoubtedly can make good stuff, or if we want it cheap they can make it cheap.

Well…strictly speaking, it’s not is it? Reading this thread it is an abbreviation of the German word. If people assumed (wrongly) that it stood for something else it doesn’t change anything.
