  6. Wasn't spoiling for bickering either , I dont know why we can't supply aspen at the pumps, it surely would be better for all types of petrol engines, and bring the wholesale cost down rather than pushing battery powered shite. It must have been 2003 when I took saws into a dealer 11 of them, all of them with gammy carbs, told the dealer to keep the good ones , scrap the rest .. did the whole lot and cost £1500.. didnt use them again. In regards to outboards alot of the local guys with small to midrange boats use Aspen due to the lack of use or cost of repairs and better fuel economy . With regards to classic cars, is the not a water fuel seperator inline filter ? We've also done that to certain machinery it does work and doesn't restrict fuel flow, you always had issues with metal tanks condensation, and then issues with crappy fuel ontop of that! The is no straight answer -just methods to get around situations .
  7. This was his second annual check up this year, very much emphasising his heart... but smoke and mirrors... not a lot else. Advanced imaging sounds to me like MRI scanning - not something an average annual check on an 80 years old would do, unless they are looking for something. As for Covid... didn't his health secretary cancel the Covid programmes in the US, not necessary, yet his boss is having the shots...

    020T av mounts?

    Seems I have tore the rubber av mount, 14 in this diagram, but its not listed and no part number. Its an old saw, is there any others I should replace at the same time? Handle Assembly for Stihl 020 WWW.LSENGINEERS.CO.UK The Handle Assembly for Stihl 020 Petrol Chainsaws is designed to provide stability and control during operation. This assembly includes components... How did it happen? Cutting a big hollow lime stump, about 14" thickness. It had destroyed my 20" chain on the 372 due to hidden dirt and gravel grown into the stump so I stuck a cheapy blunt chain on the 020T and gave it a good sharpen. I may have took down one of the rakers a bit too far as I could feel it once a revolution.

  10. Morning all, Taking it easy today, low grade man flu. Have a good weekend.
  11. Your previous wording about tip tying was an awful way to describe that. I'd say a multiplier of 11 is greatly over simplifying it, but perhaps its close enough for polyester arb rigging ropes. I would say if its goong to be that bad, some shock absorbsion should be included inn the system, or the rope wont last long. That is not swinging into tension. Consider an object dropped straight down onto a static rope. It has no other vector and can only bounce back up, or snap the rope. As the rope becomes tensioned, the force increases rapidly. An item thrown to the side, as it becomes tensioned, only the distance is constrained by the rope but it can still rotate around the anchor point, velocity increases rapidly until it reaches the end of swing or hits the stem. Tops have soft leafy brush and great for absorbinng that energy.
  12. Yesterday
  13. Not at your level at all but occasionally, we used to "mock quarter" a firewood lump to see the grain and teach the youngsters what all it was about, difficult and time consuming on a butt, but still worthwhile. Thanks for the explanation.
  14. Well not today, but nearly every day since Sunday this week, I been moving some timber we cut in the spring and summer, I wont break any land speed records with truck but it sure does its job very well,
  15. Thanks for the reply. I dont have facebook but I will get a friend to check Thanks
  16. Had a bit of time this afternoon to clear away some sawdust, sluice out the bottom end with some fuel and inspect the main bearings and cages with a mirror on a stick. Tried one of those endoscope connect to you phone thingees - waste of time only focuses down to 4 or 5 cm. Seems like everything is sound, rotated it through a couple of revolutions to make sure I didn’t miss any sections of the cage hidden by crank weights. There must be some regions of the inner race I couldn’t get to see but I’m going to say it’s good.
  17. Was going to say depends where you live, guising season...
  18. Puwer says you need suitable training for the equipment your using. That's what the HSE would say. Seems clearing saw is getting more popular had a lot of enquiries about it lately.
  19. I'd use a length of 6mm clear plastic fuel tube. If you make a U with water in the bottom you will probably only see a few mm difference in height if you have the leg to the flue vertical and the leg open to atmosphere at a shallow angle this will accentuate the difference. I have one that was cast out from a university lab [1] but you are a bit far from me. [1] a nice old microscope too
  20. I put a small electric winch on my tracked tw150. I don't expect much but got the transit stuck the other day, front wheel off a small bridge back wheel of the ground, sounds more dramatic than it was, but the chipper pulled it with the winch no trouble at all! For a £200 it was money well spent!
  21. Its a dragon (?) one i got from Buxtons a while back, but it works, and it ain't dropped me yet. went for a proper climb today, and i likes a lot.

  25. could be a long while before this is a problem. Dryad Saddle rarely a cause ot panic on Sycamore, it's pretty slow moving. In your situation, it would be possble to bring forward occlusion of the wound by CAREFULLY chiseling off the excess deadwood of the stub to get it as close as possible to the advancing woundwood. Just around the edges.
