  1. Be careful, this part may be the original one like you already have and not the new modified one! The one you have should be OK for a good while and if the thing exhibits the same fault, you know where to check.

     

     

     

    The autotune richens the mix up significantly if the impulse fails and saves the machine. We hear a lot of bad rep on auto-tune but this is one area where a standard machine would seize but the latest generation keep working and protecting the engine:thumbup:

     

     

    Thanks Spud, will keep an eye on it!👍🏻

  2. There is now a modified inlet manifold and pulse pipe which prevents this from happening. The barbs on the brass port split the pipes so the new one is no smooth with a rounded top.

     

     

    Ok, have you got a part number please?

  3. Having a nightmare with it! Keeps cutting out at idle and quite often needs half choke to start.

     

    I recently replaced the boot on the HT lead as it had split and wouldn't fire at all.

     

    Pick up is sluggish and doesn't seem to rev very high.

     

    I've heard of a couple of saws with the same problem.

     

    Any ideas please?

  4. Have you got one Paul ? I went to order one from honeys but out of stock and not paying the import charges.. this looks like it makes sense to me if I'm rigging with one groundie and need to take control or want to use a more compromised rigging point.

     

     

    I didn't get one Matt, couldn't be bothered with importing etc. I think Mike at Treekit sells them. I like the concept, maybe we have gone full circle with a twist on a topping strop?

  5. fair one, I know what it's like to plant something and see it eaten by deer :(

     

     

     

    I've read that lion dung keeps deer away as the deer are scared of large carnivores. I understand some zoos sell the dung for this purpose - could be worth a shot.

     

     

    Doesn't work along with the hair and human pee theory! It only works for a day or so until they get used to it.

     

    To keep out Muntjac you will need very small holes. I have seen them go straight through sheep fencing without stoping to take a breath!!! Chicken wire along the bottom and normal strands along the top. Make it like your keeping rabbits and hares out and it won't be to too much protection from them!

  6. Mine worked on Kernmaster in the wet, as said a little stiff in the freezing rain. Never slipped or creeped in fact the opposite. Still think I need more time to tune it in though! When time is money just get on with it and worry about it on a more leisurely day!
