don't recall that, I do recall being slagged off for posting on the wrong threads though. show me where I said it, please.

Speed sensor/stress control would be a 1st guess. To rule out solenoid problems, you can just swap the plugs over and see if the solenoid valve work but in reverse configuration. Or use the override wires to disable the stress control, if it perks up and everything works you have identified the fault being the stress control. Obviously don't use it in override for anything other than testing!.

Don't know if this is relevant to your situation but...... I was having a similar issue with my TW150 and spoke to a really helpful chap on the TW stand at Westonbirt. We went through a few 'could be this or could be thats' but he said one of the very first things to check is the distance of the strobe/sensor away from the flywheel. Even a tiny bit too far and it thinks the flywheel is slowing, the machine is getting overloaded and won't reactivate the in feed rollers. It was exactly THIS. Tiny bit of adjustment off we went again - thank goodness. Hope you have the same success.

As above. And you’ll have to find somewhere else to put your washing line.

Threads like these are quite common. You usually get a variety of replies. A. It’ll be fine, just take it out. B. Pay for a structural engineering/arb consultant to assess. 3. No one can say for sure, people shouldn’t give opinions over the internet based on photos. My take, make sure your gutters and down pipes are clear so water is getting away effectively, and take the tree out. Trees die all the time near houses without heave. This is free advice and as such is worth what you’re paying. Opinions vary of course.

This is taken standing at the back wall of the house.

I just checked my 365 new and it is 3mm.

First you complained that these threads were all people slagging each other off and not about chainsaws and now this. Maybe just relish the fact that nobody's had a pop at anyone else or got the hump for a couple of hours.

Can you put up a photo?

Hello, I'm a newbie here and I'd be grateful for some advice / wisdom. I recently relocated to a new home which has a small back garden 5mx5m, which is dominated by a Rowan Ash, slap bang in the centre. It's higher than the house and the trunk girth is about 900mm. The house was built in 1985 and so I think the size of the trunk suggests the tree was planted post house build. From the national geological survey it seems the predominant geology in this area is boulder clay (Till). Its a conservation area and I have obtained permission to remove the tree and a quote for the removal. I'm inclined to think that the risk of heave following removal of the tree is very low. Should I be more concerned about potential consequence of removal, should it involve 3rd party advice being sought and is it usual to inform the building insurer before removing a tree? Any advice will be gratefully received thanks.

wtf is going on here, the threads are all about nothing to do with the title?

Best of luck OP, as someone already said your health is your wealth. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

He ran our local boozer for a short period in the late 90’s as a relief manager. Spent most of it staggering about pissed! I did the old ‘Del Boy falling through the bar hatch’ bit at one point, which made him laugh. RIP Patrick.

We fit 3.5mm on that. Anything bigger and you cannot get enought winds on the pulley before the thicker cord overfills the pulley groove....you then run the risk of it also falling out the pulley. Anything thinner, such as 2.8mm, which for us is the next size down just means it won't last 5 minutes before it snaps....we generally fit that to the more light weight grass trimmers and hedge cutters 4mm we leave to fit some of the bigger clearing saws and the real old big chainsaws. 5mm is for generators

I do much the same but you need to be aware that if the cord is two thin it can spool on side by side rathan than on top of the previous layer and when you pull it to start it wedges the plastic pulley apart.

Just measured original cord at 4mm but was probably 4.5 when new before stretching.

Yes she has. I was watching an episode of KUA last night. Was very good, but every episode was the same. Had the writer developed the characters more and placed them in different situations, it could have been as good as Only Fools and Horses.

I see that Patricia Routledge has kicked the bouquet.

Yes Les, role in the Business Support bit of an Arb contractor. Partially on spanners and fleet care etc. Totally away from Sales etc. Good people who I've known for years and right looking forward to the changes!

Dunnow but I use the same cord in all my saws no matter how big or small . I just ask for starter cord and thats it .

Storm damage clearing. More to come

Any feedback on the job front pete 🤞

I discarded the snapped cord so cant measure it, anyone know what size I need? I am guessing it is 4.5mm or 5mm. Normal shops only list the part number but I'll be buying a roll of it.
