Thats the one Dean, bought one myself but never drove it. Only got it for the gearbox to go into a mini and sat a 1380cc motor on the box, now that thing went:scared1:

Think this thread is great, you can get an idea how old the poster is by the age of the first car! Mine was a MkIII cortina, followed quickly by an Austin 1100, then two vauxhall vivas, then two chevettes. Then i became a real man at 18 and bought the first of 7 Ford Capris:blushing: Cant even guess how many in total ive had now, must be over 30:scared1:

Nice one charlieh, you got the bug now then:001_cool: As a thought, if you do another, perhaps split the can open and remove the baffle completely, make the port on opposite side to the standard one then you wouldnt need the spark screen. What you have done seems like a real good mod for a smaller saw, quick and cheap! Nice one!

Too right Steve, finish of the job is very important, afterall thats where you get your repeat and word of mouth business. I would have bought another robin without doubt, if it werent for the engine problems. I dont do a high amount of hedges, the last cutter had had so little work it had never even needed a sharpen! Everyone has different experiences i guess, but i just expected more work out of them than i got.

Great shot, look almost spooky. -
Dont know how to explain it, but always seem to get a finer finish with single sided.

At least no one was hurt! Did you know the crew Butch? Just an observation, but does it look to anyone else that the horizontal outrigger on the house side is not fully extended?
-
Mmmm, had two robins in succession, both blew up in two years. Beyond repair:scared1: Got an Echo pole with foldaway head, good machine but very, very heavy! After the Robin failures, replaced the last one two weeks ago with the HS86R Stihl. Early days yet but this is a cutter, not a trimmer. Has VERY low vibes:001_tt1: Dont know if that helps, but my ten.

So, on a more serious note, other than CTS has anyone found the research in this thread any use to them? I realise Rupe was sorted anyway.

I really wish i had either the skill you have Tommy, or the money to buy one of your pieces. Credit to you.

That just makes me cringe at the thought of a spike out:scared1: -
When milling try gettin the missus to stand there with the Dyson. That should keep some dust away from the motor:001_tongue:

Cant understand why you moved back here then:001_tongue:

Ok, the same filter should fit; 044, 046, 064, 066, 088, MS 440, MS460, MS640, MS650, MS660, MS880. Have i missed any:confused1:

I have a Lloyds coded welder as a very good friend, who would make me anything i wanted for lowering, but i wont ask him as it wont be CE marked or have a SWL on it:thumbdown:

The foam insert is part of the HD filter Ross. When fitting this, the deflector shown in pic #4 is discarded. Seems i didnt explain myself very well:sad:
-
Thats the pre filter Dave, not all of them have it:thumbdown:

Ok, so here goes for your latest bit of chainsaw awareness! These are only my findings so if you think your saw is fine then dont bother, but i want my 660 to last a few years! My 660 is just over 2 years old now and has always let lots of dust through the filter screen. On asking the dealer, they always say either thats how they should be, or fit a new filter. When you see the pics below you will se why i have been concerned. For those who want to care for their saws, there is a pre-filter available for these filters, and also a heavy duty filter that is said to overcome this problem. The part number for the HD filter is 0000 120 1654 and is available at around £18 +vat. The pre-filter is 0000 141 0300 and comes in just less than £4! This will fit either standard or HD filter. For your information, do with it as you see fit. Many thanks to guys in "The House"
