So what conviction can you point too ?, ah the no smoke without fire, yet you'll hissy fit when we accuse biden of being a sniffer and sharing showers. 99% of the stuff that came out was via prince Andrew and the legal age Virginia story.

Stubby the difference in government attitudes and approach to the natural resources we currently have between the utter fools in Westminster and the Norwegians is about as far apart as you can get. Ignore the shite spouted by fools on here with zero knowledge or experience of the oil and gas industry or much else for that matter. We are gonna be in a proper bad way energy wise at the end of this governments term. It’s not barren stubby not in the UK or Norwegian sector by any stretch of the imagination and won’t be for more than any of our lifetimes. Trigger Andy whom is employed primarily in the Norwegian sector was telling me recently they are flat out over there and investing billions for the long term. We on the other hand are throwing billions at utter shite such as carbon capture and importing more and more energy from other countries including Norway.

Most of these people aren't fleeing war, they are economic migrants who want to get to the land of milk and honey.

Bizarrely yes, I had this one painted and done up in 2021 with the intention of running it for work, but couldn’t get on with it (Igor hated it) so moved it on in a matter of weeks, so it did not really qualify.

we went for the stihl procoms, seems like the battery life is better, plus audio in both ears. also, they're higher dB rated than the protos bt

I’d stick them on Facebook marketplace at £20 each and see if you get a bite.

Been meaning to get a chronological line up of the trucks at some point. P100 hilux hilux navarra land rover ranger ranger ranger ranger. i’ll work on it this weekend.

I use software from Otiss/Pear Technology. It's about £360/year. Helpful support staff. I would do some practice surveys first and get the hang of using it. There are a lot of options re what you record. Then there is the facility to download as pdf files or Excel. I find the Excel a bit of a pain as not too familiar with setting out. Also with such a large acreage, you will have to see what sizes to divide the site up for your online maps. It's a very big site for beginning out on, so definitely do a few practices in a park or small woodland.

I think you’re asking too much with a 14” bar. Is the sprocket 1/4P? We’ve found the best combo to be standard Stihl 10” bar for the 151 with a 57DL chain. Fits straight on and works a treat.

Scared of a worm. Poof. Aim for it. Show it who’s boss. I picked an apple up from a mate’s garden the other day. Had an obvious wormhole. No hesitation. No surrender. Straight into the arsehole end of it and ate everything bar the stalk. I like to think I made some sort of point there.

They may not be a husky dealer and have to pay top price for parts but even then its extreme. Did you do anything with the saw or is it still in a box in bits? Seems a waste if it is.

That looked good but it seems that you cant get them in the UK anymore. The start system on the br800 is to say the least a complicated setup! Ive only had two in for repair, one was was because the customer thought it was a four stroke and put neat petrol in it. The other was a starter issue. The starter was jamming open, I couldnt see any issue apart from a clean and grease and it seems to be working OK up to now.

As a sort of quick leak test I use brake cleaner fitted with a d40 smart straw (this thing WD-40 Smart Straw 450ml | Toolstation WWW.TOOLSTATION.COM All the benefits of the original WD-40 formula, but with a Smart Straw for precision application. Simply flip the straw up for a narrow stream or fold it down for a regular wide spray... and spray it around the intake boot impulse pipe area. You only need to spray a little, if there is a leak the engine will die. You have to make sure none of the spray is going into the carb, although with a little care you can use it to detect carb leaks. The wd40 will probably act the same as brake cleaner but I use a lot of brake cleaner and I fit them with that straw. Hmmm, maybe I should make some arb saw cleaner, smart straw plus brake cleaner. Yours for only £75.95 a can. Or buy two for £151.90 Bargain.

Its been a long time since I've climbed but that certainly brought back memories! Most of my interactions were killing the thing but sometimes it was just a deadwood and a reduction so not all bad.

Check the wiring first and of course the off switch, if something is shorting out it will stop the spark. Its about £10 for the wiring harness and £100 for the coil. If the rest of the machine is in good condition, loads of compression, no scores on the piston then its definitely worth fixing imo.

Some little trick ive used for a while since you dont need to start the saw up if you want to check for oil flow and you have an air compressor handy just spin the drum up with a blow gun pointed at the sprocket splines/rim. No chance of a clutch explosion using this method. Still didnt help me solve an oiling issue on a t540i though!

It's good to hear that you've got it running. It is worth using the original carb if you can get it sorted.
