Are you climbing again then Steve?

For those who haven't got to see one in the flesh yet, the difference from the ZZ is the solid bar that pushes against the rope below the flexing zig zag section. I guess this is what allows it to work in different set ups. The more weight applied the more pressure it puts on the rope. The ZZ doesn't do that. You can see it just above the red body of the device. That part will wear eventually though I'm sure

Like Mick says. Is it the accent?

If the seller said it ran fine on regular fuel and you have only tried it on aspen. my advice would be to try it on regular pump petrol before you start messing with anything else. this will prove if the seller was being honest about it running or not. if it runs on petrol and not aspen then this would suggest there is an issue with a non metal part in the carburettor, ie a diaghragm (most likely the problem) as others have suggested, if a machine has been run on regular petrol for a considerable time, there is a chance that the rubber parts are already damaged before you switched it to Aspen and that Aspen has highlighted this issue. usually this doesnt happen and usually machines will swap over without any changes. the quality of rubber used in machines is constantly changing, hence why there are still machines out there which have been ran on petrol for over 15 years without any carburettor issues yet some new machines will experience problems very quickly. luck of the draw really.

They do have PU in the soles. They are all utterly overpriced shit. Until they stop making the soles out of stuff that forces you to buy new boots every year for £300 I won’t buy any.

anything after the discovery 2 seems riddled with problems, electrical and plenty other known faults, including a propensity to snap the crankshaft for fun.

Yes, when I bought my saw I had an order going into L+S Engineers for a bunch of spares anyway and I just added a new filter for spare and some extra fibre washers. Stihl call it a gasket, part no. 1144 129 0900

Yep that easy 😁 what you don’t realise is by the time you collect the timber cut it to size ,kindle it and deliver . One person can make 5 bags an hour 🤣

Check if you are getting 12v to the forward coil plug on the DCV when the rollers start working. That'll determine whether your problem is electrical or hydraulic.

Morning all, Bryan Ferry weather here today. Hard rain’s gonna fall. A day in the sheds spannering and splitting logs I think.

I was there in November, strain guages everywhere and screw adjustable jacks/supports, so presumably they "tweak" the individual props to balance the loading, but I imagine I remember it was all fabricated steel, with wood blocks only where the steel met the hull? cheers,

Our Polish son in law asked me did I know any likely suppliers, here in N. Ireland, because another Polish joiner friend of his has built himself a traditional Oak framed and pegged house for himself, down about Dublin somewhere, which has resulted in a few people asking him to build them a similar dwelling. But he needs to source the Oak? I can only suspect with the RoI being in the EC, and the Polish connections, that it would make sense to import the timber direct from Poland? Or what could a U.K. supplier or sawmill offer? Since any prices I have found when searcing online appear to be exhorbinate. I will be phoning the few contacts I know of here in N.I. tomorrow. I would obviously need to get more detail re likely lengths and quantities. But any other input would be more than welcome. Thank you, in anticipation, Marcus

Looks like it’s not pissing down Stevie. AI?

Fabulous

,

Does anyone have any experience of the 1988 version of the Japa 700?

New hydraulic fittings fitted Apart from being shiny, they seem to work a lot better than the old ones, though I haven't used them in anger yet. They take up more space, the assembly is considerably longer than the old ones. The result of this is that in certain positions, the hydraulic hoses are on a quite tight angle. I'm guessing this is fine; it'll have to be. Ordered Manuli couplers from LS Engineers, and various adapters and washers from Burnett & Hillman.

No , although it would not hurt to lap the valves i . I was talking about the valve guides . They might be worn .

Ah but physics is not simple, and not what I see from trying both in the Echo. 1/4" has 20% more cutters in contact so the extra width of 3/8 is about the same, but full chisel is more efficient and a lot easier to sharpen, and better on small pruning cuts. I bought the PM3 on arbtalks recommendation. I'd suggest you try the 3/8FC.. Stihl do a narrow 1.1 gauge 3/8" FC that is probably the fastest over all. I cant see it in 40DL however so would need to be shortened..
