  1. I don't suppose any of you chainsaw collector types have a coil for a pioneer nu17 laying up a dusty corner you wish to part with for a fair price.. or a primer assembly, they are all I need to get her running.
  2. well never say never eh! I have a picture in my head now,, starmer on the crapper with a crossbow bolt pinning him to the wall.
  3. I know I'm old but I don't think the attractive blond is leonardo decaprio
  4. saw them live when working doors many moons ago, they were excellent.
  5. Two arborists are seated either side of a table in a rough pub when a well-dressed man enters, orders a beer and sits on a stool at the bar. The two arborists start to speculate about the occupation of the suit. Phil: - I reckon he's an accountant. Eric: - No way - he's a stockbroker. Phil: - He ain't no stockbroker! A stockbroker wouldn't come in here! The argument repeats itself for some time until the volume of beer gets the better of Phil and he makes for the toilet. On entering the toilet he sees that the suit is standing at a urinal. Curiosity and the several beers get the better of the arborist Phil: - 'Scuse me.. no offence meant, but me and me mate were wondering what you do for a living? Suit: - No offence taken! I'm a Logical Scientist by profession. Phil: - Oh! What's that then? Suit: - I'll try to explain by example... Do you have a goldfish at home? Phil: - Er... mmm . well yeah, I do as it happens! Suit: - Well, it's logical to follow that you keep it in a bowl or in a pond. Which is it? Phil: - It's in a pond! Suit: - Well then it's reasonable to suppose that you have a large garden then? Phil: - As it happens, yes I have got a big garden! Suit: - Well then it's logical to assume that in this town if you have a large garden then you have a large house? Phil: - As it happens I've got a five-bedroom house...built it myself! Suit: - Well given that you've built a five-bedroom house it is logical to assume that you haven't built it just for yourself and that you are quite probably married? Phil: - Yes I am married, I live with my wife and three children. Suit: - Well then it is logical to assume that you are sexually active with your wife on a regular basis? Phil:- Yep! Four nights a week! Suit: - Well then it is logical to suggest that you do not masturbate very often? Phil: - Me? Never. Suit: - Well there you are! That's logical science at work! Phil: - How's that then? Suit: - Well from finding out that you had a goldfish, I've told you about your sex life! Phil: - I see! That's pretty impressive...thanks mate! Both leave the toilet and Phil returns to his mate. Eric: - I see the suit was in there. Did you ask him what he does? Phil: - Yep! He's a logical scientist! Eric: - What's that then? Phil: - I'll try and explain. Do you have a goldfish? Eric: - Nope. Phil: - Well then, you're a wanker.
  6. kier starmer,,, oh well, it was worth a try!
  7. the estate I live on had a water pump with a tomos engine, it truly was the worst engine I ever saw, I think the tea lady built it for a bet! they obviously got better as the l65 was by all accounts a decent saw.
  8. got one in bits at present, chain wouldn't stop no matter how low the tickover,[older model no chainbrake] thought it might be busted springs, but turned out to be one of the linings has detached from its shoe and jammed between the drum and the next shoe, can It be ran without any linings, it does work with one missing but plenty other saws run metal to metal, just thinking this might be ok doing the same? seems to be plenty of drums available from the usual sources but not clutches them selves, I'm wondering would it be possible to glue/bond it back on, its intact and undamaged.
  9. met a guy who saw one of her shows, reckons she was pretty raunchy, he sat next to a huge Canadian bloke, she spots him head and shoulders above the rest, walks to the edge of the stage and says," my you're a big guy",, 6 foot seven ,mam he answers,, she looks him straight in the eyes and says the immortal line," come up and see me sometime" and then adds,, "we'll forget about the six foot and work on the 7 inches". place erupted.
  10. here you go, Ban on tyres over 10 years old for heavy vehicles and some minibuses MOVINGON.BLOG.GOV.UK Official advice and information for lorry, bus, coach and van operators and drivers, from...
  11. I'm not jealous,,, honest,, well not much,, ok more than a little, but I bought one today so got that to look forward to, I have one that needs a carb and filter, that's swedish, I don't know about the other until it arrives. please let me know if you come across any parts.👍
  12. you had to remind me of that didn't ya?, ya just had too!😉 but this one is a clean looker, and a runner,👍
  13. Well , would you believe it?? one of those L65,s is on its way to me, the seller dropped the price by a considerable amount, and I decided to accept the offer. so if I don't find the parts for the one I have, it becomes the "parts saw" a nice result, I wonder if they read my comments on here?
  14. So a company makes sweets that are up to 80% sugar,,, and then claims to be concerned about peoples health??? aye right!
  15. I'm 72, I worked most of my life with saws, [over 55 years] the last 33 on a large wooded estate, I still fell the odd giant, and cut my own wood for my woodburner, my retirement is filled with a little fishing, and collecting, rebuilding, and maintaining old saws some of which I had most of my life, and most I still use. most of the old boys I learnt so much from have sadly passed, but I think of them when I use a particular saw that was one of their favorites. I would like before I join them a McCulloch 125 sp,, yeah I know,, but an old mans gotta have a dream,eh.
  16. yes I made reasonable offers on those, but the sellers are not really budging on the price, despite the best offer option, some of those saws have been listed for months, nobody in their right mind is going to pay such high coin for unseen saws that were chucked in a barn and nobody knows what was wrong with them when they were left to rot. their parts sources at best. I've paid good money for good running saws, 166 dolmars, and older Dolmars ca,s cc,etc ,teles,and such like. but they were good examples and clearly treated well in their working life.
  17. were I in your position ,, I would walk away. the more intricate and reliant on chips and ecu,s sensors and suchlike, the more problems,more coin, and more time in the repair shop losing money. theres a reason a large percentage of older equipment is still around,= less electrics.
  18. I'm beginning to think that myself stubby, I would buy a whole saw if,, a it wasn't the price of a new saw, and b, if it was a running example and use my current one as the spares saw.
  19. I am a new member looking for a few parts for a husqvarna L65/ L77, I need a carb,[tillotson hs 123a] air filter, and the small molding that holds the choke control and the on/off switch and supports the filter cover tia .
