You have no chance of a straight answer

Good idea that.

So two pipes to bulb, the saw should still work if you clamp shut the pipe from the carb to the bulb

Can someone please help me ID this piece of crust which I found on a Ash tree roughly 4 meters up on the stem. Many thanks

@Mark_Skyland if I can ask a pedantic question, is it a clutched saw? I assume the sprocket/drum part was for the inboard brake band, but has no clutch and is directly driven by the motor with a splined shaft? Thanks

I think the garage thing is to encourage people to park in the garage not fill it with stuff. This leaves the street much less covered with parked cars. Seems to help in village where my sister lives

Mostly slick, few things I’m not a fan of though, particularly the bottom nav bar on mobile which holds everything that’s in the top nav bar, seems a waste of space to me. I’d also consider removing the search bar and swapping for an icon next to the other icons in the mobile header which would half the amount of space the header takes up

We are due a Sherpa 100 Small and we think it’s going to be just to tall by 2 inches or so to transport in our transit connect LWB . May be able to let the tyres down a bit to allow 🤣 then re pump! Options are ramps for a transit tipper mark 8. Is there any recommendations for ramps that can take the almost 650kg limit? Folding ramps or normal. Appreciate any advice. Photos or videos of loading can help for ideas. Thanks limited space unfortunately no room for trailer!

Im sure that 'everyone' has visited our site lately and noticed the big change to the layout. If for some crazy reason that you haven't please have a look and if anyone wants to give feedback, good or bad it would be very much appreciated. It was updated a couple of weeks go and we have found several issues, missing brands and categories etc which have been sorted or are in the process but its easy to miss things so if the Arbtalk community could cast their eyes over it it would help a lot.

Gravel floor in the doorless garage? Strange? There’s supposed to be a housing shortage yet speaking to an estate agent I know he says there’s never been so many houses for sale - and arn’t being sold very quickly?

Remove the circlip and washer holding the clutch drum in place and check that nothing has gotten under there jamming things up. Depending on which type of bar you have check the nose sprocket runs freely and that the chain will move around the bar without any resistance.

As previously suggested clean out the gearbox and re grease, check that the blades aren't sticking or binding i.e. build up of resin or bent teeth catching on each other. Check that the bearings in the gearbox are OK I've replaced quite a few as they can rust up. Also check underneath the washers that hold the blades together as you can get a build up of crap which restricts the movement of the blades. The gearbox needs to move really easily.

Leak is right at buib, bulb is piped to carb, no idea what valves in place.

Aye. Free him every time I check his water. Ties himself straight back up, which in fairness is preferable to him going under the telehandler. He is fortunately scared of the big yellow thing. Not remotely scared of saws though, which he investigates tip first, nose first. He tried felling a fairly senior lady with said tether the other day. Estate agent who liked dogs and was happy for me to leave him in the garden with her while I looked round inside. I'd left the long line on him in case any sheep hove into view (that'd be one way to meet the neighbours). She was talking with some other people who turned up to view. He started circling her like the scene in Star Wars where they trip up the massive walking robots. Good lad. Estate agents deserve it, old women or not. So I'm afraid he's not done anything really moronic for a while. Keep you posted. Won't be long.

I'll let you know how it works when I'm finished litigating with them. More on that another day!

It depend where the leak is. I'm not familiar with the saw, is the purge bulb mounted on the carb or remote? does the carb have a check valve? The saw I had with a failed check valve filled the bulb with bubbles when it ran.

If that's his tether rope going under (and presumably, through and around multiple times) the log pile, he's not going anywhere for quite some time - and its only going to get worse over the next few days. Fine looking hound. - hopefully he's going to do something really stupid soon for you to entertain us with 😁

Option 1 - dice it all up and handball 8 feet up out of the ditch. Option 2 - leave it in big bits and pull it out with the plucky little loader. Went with option 2. Liking this game.

Your contract with the suppliers should specify a point of connection. Typically for domestic it will be the meter for gas and electric. If your water is metered to the property it will be the same else will typically be the stop valve - might be in the pavement outside. BT or telecoms will be the wall box. If it goes wrong their side they fix it, else you fix it. If you fiddle with the BT box on their side of the connection and it all goes wrong... and if they notice... you'll get billed for repairs. Likewise for electric, the big pull out fuse is theirs, you are not allowed to pull it unless in emergency (nominal charge for them to do that)... some electricians are also authorised to do that and put a new seal on after... not sure about gas but assume it will be similar. If you push the "that meter is mine" idea too hard, they will just disconnect their supplies to it or provide you with a new meter that they own.

Michael Madsen Maybe not the greatest actor, to me he added a lot to the Kill Bill films

I was told by the electricity board they own the meter,but I own the consumer unit and everything after it, I wasn't too concerned at the time as I thought if they own it, they will be responsible for its upkeep and subsequent repairs if it needs any. when I moved here there was no meter, and they fitted one, I asked if it could be moved and the answer was yes but only in the reach of the existing incoming line, however when they arrived the engineer said the power came in the wrong direction for the entry point and they fitted an entire new cable, meter, and all for free. I'm glad I never had to pay for that lot. and wheelie bins are provided by the council,true they come with the property and were I assume left by the previous tenant, what makes you think they are yours?

Cleaned up and got her running without too much smoke! 2 issues, not all the chain oil is going along the chain, should there be some kind of gasket between the bar and the oil hole. Will not idle well, there is a leak in the purge bulb, will this effect running same as air leaks elsewhere or is the purge isolated from the carb when running? Sorry numpty questions. TIA OG

The rigging I do is off the tail of my climb line, but I haven't done anything that that can't be done/free fall Have heard good things about the Yale, Marlow and Teufelberger. DMM do some as well, might be worth a look.

On the 020, the early ones came with a push in white fibre vent, the rubber mushroom sealing the tank, the fibre one acting as a filter. The assembly you show is the later breather with a one way valve which was replaced on the later MS200T models with a two way fuel pipe and tank breather hose. Yours must be an early model with the remains of a fibre filter.
