What's on your bench today?

Mmmm, I dont think so!

 

No rush mate just give us a shout when you have news/sorted it.

Probably just needs a bit if carb adjustment or possibly a good carb clean and new carb kit!

 

Thanks Steve!

Had a phone call from the local dealer today, am I interested in fixing a saw (dealers are not allowed to fix unbraked saws apparently)

For those who don't know, this is effectively the rear-handled 08, it's a very early model with a sand-cast muffler. It needs a new fuel line, breather and a carb service.

It has a seven digit serial (we have 9 now)

Not just dealers, but anyone who takes money for their service.

Seriously?! Bloody liability bullshite! What happened to common sense? Either way, I'm fixing it, it'll be on aspen soon too!

[GardenKit]

Fair enough, but I have 2.5million Public liability and the insurance company could refuse a payout if I condoned the use of a saw without a brake so whats the point in taking the risk.

 

On the other hand, at least I have PL.

I don't see the problem with it, it's a 1969 saw, the owner knows the risks, and the saw appears to be very low hours, complies with puwer for that specific model age (any saw made pre 1996 doesn't need any requirement) and his 'other' saw is one of those chinker mt-9999 pieces of crap!

I enquired about the servicing of my old 076 pre chain brake saw with a local service engineer. He was happy to service as long as I dropped it off with no bar and chain. ie he was just going to service the engine. That seemed to cover it for him as far as liabilities went.

MS180 dropped in this morning with a note saying it was running perfect when put away in January, wanted to use it last weekend and it wouldn't start. This is the worst case of leaving fuel in the saw for 10 months ive seen.

Does a sprocket (rim) off a 261 fit an older 026 fitted with spur? The 026 is an adjustable oiler etc
