  1. Another thought ....the throttle lock is only about half throttle so any saw you have it's good to let it spin up for 5-10 seconds or so from a cold start on half throttle before giving it a good blap on full to rev out any gremlins.
  2. Throttle lock disengages when the trigger is pressed... I don't know any one who starts a saw with a chain brake on from cold, warm maybe... Should not be using the throttle lock on a warm start unless it's a temperamental saw with issues that need sorting would be my thought.

    sycamore

    Pita to season if left in a large stack as the middle won't get air flow or cut in to dumpy bags even vented ones.... just goes mouldy ! Unless very well seasoned before processing .
  4. Nice work👍🏻

    It goes well , do you need one?? Probably not I would of thought the port work would be enough... would be nice to run our two saws side by side and see if it makes much difference though .

    Did he port it as well??
  9. That's about 5 miles from where I used to live , there was raves monthly in that area usually at old ww2 air fields or chalk pits police always let them finish and just arrest every one leaving.
  10. Never lost a button but had at least 3 zips go in a row , just took them back was how I reacted !!
  11. Shane , I seriously doubt it's any one from this forum but I would be very careful from now on, these gangs of thieves will be on you if they have your phone number they probably have your home address just make sure no one is following you from you home address to your lock up/ yard what ever it is in the mornings as that's how I got last done over . Try and log there number as well despite thieves Changing them weekly it could help if thing go pete tong.
  12. If you get to keep both pairs I would not complain! One of those legs is wrong ? Not bad idea though as I tear my right bottom leg to shreds with clipped up chainsaws on the harness. I've had a few lemons from pfanner my self as long as it was sorted I was not complaining they usually address and replace some times with an extra any faulty gear and would still say they are the best trousers on the market.
  13. Cons deserve to loose... there campaign consisted entirely of slagging off every one else (like on here really ) with out really promoting any of there policies or connecting with people.
  14. Keep in a warm place like direct sunlight..I've dried them in a green house for a few days and they should open up. Multiple leaders ? Trees usually form with 1 leader, multiple leaders are created by removing the dominant leader so all other branches struggle for dominance resulting in multiple leaders. Good luck any way. Even after extracting the seeds they can be difficult to germinate, cold stratification helps.
  15. Zoom in on the photo on the link and I recon it's a 395 replacement.., to big to be any thing else.
  16. Haha , maybe mulls still trying to justify his own extreme political views , was it not him said he would want an independent Scotland by any means necessary? Sorry to disappoint you mull the rich Nigel's down in the city of London inflicting poverty on the rest of the UK have nothing to do with indoctrination that some muslims put on there children that any one who lives out side the Koran should die. From what I've seen and I've only met muslims from Pakistan and Pashtuns from the borders they come from a violent culture , they have won every war they have fought and are proud of this they believe they are warriors and they won these wars as it was a jihad and culturally I suppose it's all they have as most people here just see them as just a dirty paki .. so they go back in to there culture and find some thing are proud of and its religiously oriented in there frustrations it gets twisted... lad I'm working with today's sister married a Pashtun he's a nice lad but looks down on us as all unbelievers and sees are society as corrupt because it's lacking in religion. He does not want to change us but does have a strong belief in fighting for what he thinks is right and wrong ... like decking the cyclist that cut him up the other day.
  17. From my experience that is not the case , the first thing to go would be any tree work or landscaping ideas.. also most of these folk are people who are already mortgaged up to the hilt , obviously I'm not talking about the occasional large land owner but if it hits over 10 million homes as it's predicted it will be a disaster.
  18. I think it's fair to assume we are all doing alright when it comes to finding work at the moment, what happens if labour gets in and the proposed garden tax takes place and homes will be at least getting 2-4K a year more tax, these are homes that most of us provide a service too , it will knock the arb industry massively... maybe even destroying most of our work is my thought.
  19. What Steve said .👍🏻
  20. Gateshead has always been a labour strong hold though mark.. nothing new ... I could not see any one voting con there and never would it's been indoctrinated by there parents and there parents before them that they vote for the working mans party. What's interesting is I've seen people switch views on Corbin.
  21. Also arming every militia in the Middle East to take out Bashar to not involve our military in an another illegal war again didn't help this either. This storm has been a long time brewing I'm pretty sure back in the 80's 90's MI5 would of actually encouraged British muslims to join the jihad in Afghan against the russians maybe why the first generation of English muslims could get away with training for jihad .. not that they still can't! Now due to company's like BAE systems thirst for money and leaving every corner of the third world a war zone to trial weapons and trade trillions in them we are knacked ! Don't think the people control the governments it's BAE , Lockheed Martin and other such organisations who instigated all these wars in the first place that do.
  22. I imagine the 395-390-372 down to emission regs And the first gen auto tuned 576 just from rumours are too change... will they change the lot in one hit though.. so is the release going to be a saw or saws is a better question?

    My new dog.

    Does any body else's dog go berserk when they tip there arb truck up? Mine has always done this since a pup but over the last few months I've noticed him nipping the wiring from the hydraulic tank and I've just gone out in the yard to find he's chewed through it!
  24. Think the land agent is pulling the pish then , I know he expects the timber to be offset against other work they are expecting to pay for. Was just wondering if I was missing something in the value , last oversized beech we got was less than that road side.
  25. Any body have a price per tonne for standing beech , this is final thinning so trees are around 80years old so not the ease of a clear fell. As I've been told they have offered £45 a tonne standing!
