Still and quiet today. Started to watch the Netflix thing about Ed Gein. What a sick bloke he was and I wonder how many more there like him who got away with their crimes. Odd jobs etc today.... Bow, Team, Murk, Beatrice.

I don't think chainsaw accidents in the domestic sector are reported to HSE / RIDDOR and hence don't impact on industry accident stats - however, chainsaw accidents in the construction / landscape industries sector may. The reality is that chainsaw accidents do happen (too) often in the "pro-sector", including fatalities, and often toppers are involved...a great saw option but don't get complacent.

Sorry to tell you that it’s beautiful again here today! I’ll do some mowing in the field, and tinker in the workshop.

Morning! It still pretty wild here just now, I have only have 1 blown birch to deal, it's in a back garden so I'll deal with that when the weather calms down. Stay safe out there guys!

Morning all. Spring in the step this morning, must've been a good sleep. Wind still blowing here, ended up a long day yesterday blighted by low bridges. Surprising how many you come across that are under the 4m clearance the crane needs, haven't hit any yet. More trees to do today. Have a good one folks. And good luck with the new direction Pete, hope it works out.

I’d be interested in this winch or similar. What oil flow does it require ?

Theres a plug on the wiring from the paddle switches and stop bar limit switch to the stress control box that can become damp and corrode over time. worth checking and cleaning out. happened mine a few years ago.

I used to stomp around to Venetian Snares in early 2000's.

I can almost be bothered to go and take the back off the saw to see how it works. Almost. Tell you what. I'll finish what I'm working on now first and become a chainsaw manufacturer another time shall I.

I forgot the injector didn’t have an airflow butterfly on it. That’s yes, quite critical for a bolt-off, bolt-on swap. Video of a 500i injector for anyone who’s never seen one btw. IMG_5984.mov Now ask me why I have one on my windowsill…

Dunno, but it's a change for the better. It's much more pleasant, you must admit. Enjoy it while it lasts, it'll be business as usual all too soon, back to the sewer. It's almost as if there's a certain element missing. Can you put your finger on it?

Its built a lot differently. Where the carb would be is just a butterfly valve, the injector is below that directly into the crankcase. You cant just bin a carb and bolt on an injector. No sensors on the exhaust, there is one behind the flywheel. It doesn't monitor exhaust gases like a car would from what I can see. There are a few YouTube vids on stripping a 500 down, I did mean to make one but we never have the time and my workshop isn't in the best shape to make decent video watching content to say the least! I cant see there being many other fuel injected chainsaws as all the money is going into battery machines. Although maybe a big 120cc equivalent Husky, I only say that as they dont have one and its been what 4/5 years since the 3120 was axed. Im sure that they could have brought an autotune out in that time.
