is it licensed for the road sir what about MOT

Turns out it is the X having checked, so must be the same as all others. Cheers

I was only joking. I charged £20, he's a good customer and I learned something.

That's the old "hitting X with hammer £1, knowing where to draw X £999" story in action. Offer to sell him a refurbished cover for £50 ? Then he should come back next time the saw breaks.

Well seeing as it's "Genpower Ltd" based on Pembroke Docks, it's obviously not Lord Bamford.

Underrated band.

The long winded version. Slackened off the chain so its hanging a lot and after a bit of messing about I could see that the chain was getting pinched at the top of the guide bar. I turned the bar and it did the same thing, the sprocket cover and guide plate (this thing in case people are wondering what it is Husqvarna 522 74 28-01 Chain Guide Plate SKYLANDEQUIPMENT.COM Replacement chain guide plate for the Husqvarna chainsaws listed below. FITS HUSQVARNA CHAINSAW MODELS 545 MARK II, 545G MARK II, 550 XP MARK II, 550 XPG MARK II... In this photo you can see the cover was scored along the top probably due to a thrown chain. ) Although the surface didn't feel raised I gave it a bit of a tickle with the angle grinder and boom, job done. The amount of material that I removed was next to nothing but enough to cause an issue that I haven't came across before. BTW Im not going to tell the customer that I repaired the cover I'm going to just bang a new one on for the handsome sum of £92 quid. I hope he doesn't use Arbtalk!

I like that, I could handle hearing that theme tune every time I climb. Much like I spring up like a ninja every time I put my Harken Ninja foot ascender on...

Agree. I think we've had people on here trying in vain to source blades for JCB chippers too...

Yes. When wood smoulders, with no flame burning the offgas, what is happening is the fire is hot enough to pyrolyse wood but not hot enough to reach the autoignition temperature of the offgas. Nascent char is oxidising to give off enough heat to sustain its combustion but largely without flame . Thus the acrid smoke going up the chimney condenses on the cold chimney as pyroligneous acid. This can eat mortar. I think it is slightly worse with hardwoods as it contains acetic acid (wood vinegar). Before organic chemistry took off pyrolysing beech was a major source of acetic acid. In 2002 I was snagging a large woodchip boiler at a department store in Milton Keynes where they had been burning rejected/returned flat pack furniture and one part of the flue had become too cool. Here is a picture of a 316 stainless steel single skin pipe that had been perforated by the acid that condensed, though in this case I think it was probably hydrochloric acid from some plastics that were associated with the furniture.

I would hold out for a good used CS100 or a Jobeau, both will walk all over that Chinese job, and still have a resale value if needed. There was a mint CS100 on arbtrader a couple of weeks ago for £1700 ish, I would have bought it myself if I was in the Uk at the time.

It keeps popping up doesn't it.

Sorted the problem today. To cut to the chase the sprocket cover was damaged which was causing the bar to pinch the chain. I will go into some boring detail later when I have a bit of time.

It is a bit strange that some saws melt the cover quicker than others. I only mentioned the running it on the deck as it can effect top handles as the exhaust is usually pointing downwards so the the gases can bounce off the floor back towards the cover. Maybe some heat reflective tape will help.

The curtain was the most ridiculous thing about that. I think the American housemaid cooking one was more of a giggle.

That and also a different ignition coil IIRC. All of the current cs2511's will be an x series going back maybe 4-5 ish years.

Was that hit Pete or did the chassis just snap?

You'd think an important function like justice would be carried out by capable people; failsafe, double checked etc. It isn't. It's performed as competently as anything else the government does. Oh look, Alex is whingeing about government again. I talk with lawyers pretty much daily. I've done loads of bits of legal work experience. I've helped people with legal stuff. I've been through various legal proceedings on my own account, mainly doing it myself. Three days ago I settled an 18 month civil claim with a 9 year history, that I ran from start to finish. Same thing everywhere. Errors are the rule, not the exception. Two weeks ago I was served a copy of a court order (which you can go to prison for not obeying) mandating something be done by a date that had already passed. Evidently computer generated and not checked. You call the court. Everyone's off sick. They can look at it in about five weeks' time (by which time other contingent deadlines will have passed). You call the court via a different telephone number. You get a different answer. Total joke.

Dan, it will also do that - though coal is worse than wood, and of course mixed fuels where the water from the wood can react with the coal smoke to form acids - OK if the chimney is hot and it won't condense.

You’re an engineer Dan. You know it makes sense.
