Dont start it up again with that " old mix " in it . Make some fresh . Try just using the compression it has first to get the clutch off . Don't forget its a LH thread . Get a ring spanner on there and give it a sharp whack with a mallet . If that does not work be very careful with any type of piston stop be it hard or soft .

 

Noted..cheers. Tomorrows another day. I'm getting the compression checked over sometime this week. Seems to run ok but i'll check the compression anyway.

 

You guys are correct. This monster is going back up for sale. Weighs a bloody tone. And as i need to walk a few miles there and back carrying small logs as well i think i've bitten off more than i can chew. 18lbs...unfueled.

Or you can get a husky for about £120 new.

The first damage will be your ears.

Get a decent helmet with visor and ear defenders.

Next is the feet, get steel toe capped chainsaw wellies.

Then chainsaw trousers.

You won't need c.s. Gloves unless you use a one handed saw.

Wind blown trees are some of the most dangerous you will encounter.

Tension and compression in wood is an art form. There's the theory, then there's reality, with rot, trees laying on trees etc.

Reading a tree's bark....etc.

If you've ever seen the force with which a wind blown stump jumps back in the ground.

I'd like to see you post your successes in the future.

Stay safe mate and good luck.
