    That's the problem, finding a small local firm who is ok, it's a lottery. The same as arb companies I suppose Someone did tell me to fit them myself, I'm pretty handy, but I just don't have the time to do it Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    It's the same old thing though mate, never know who's good and who's not! Filled in a safestyle form, 5 minutes later they've rang up and are coming tomos at 10 to quote us. The problem is we've accepted the other quote, so only have 7 days to cancel if needed. Cheers guys Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    No worries, you can buy the just the mounting plates too, to put on your own beam. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Ok cheers guys, I was gonna try Everest too, I should say not bothered about paying a good price, my mottos buy cheap buy twice but at the same time its too easy to buy dear buy twice! Especially when I'm not clued up on this sort of thing. Price was actually 2900 for the four, one windows only about 1.5mx0.50m Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Hi guys just wondering if anyone's had double glazing fitted recently? Just had a quote for 3.5k for four upstairs windows, obviously price varies on size etc, but its two large windows one medium and one small. Wondering how it compared Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    http://www.vernonbarkercycles.co.uk/ I'm thinking of sending one of my old bikes to them, to have disc tabs fitted. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    One thing I've noticed is get the heaviest bag, the ones at work aren't, and can struggle coming down if its ivy clad Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    You'd,just have to be selective what its fitted to, maybe a chipper would be different as its likely to go past people and get picked up easier. But the whole idea still relies on people downloading the app, who knows wether it'll take off Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I've just been looking at these, not sure it'd be suitable for chainsaw gear as it relies on other iPhones to pick up the signal. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Thumbs up for this answer, I'd loose a days pay to stop that happening Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Fair enough, makes me wonder why we're getting put through it at work then. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Pete if I get the serial number of ours could you check? Ours are hired in through, I think, hire station, who hire them in again through someone else. How's the programmable stress work? Is it something a user can do? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Well the bit you pull out has a bit of metal on it, which must obviously complete the circuit or not. I presume that's the bit you break off then shove the rest back in to stop crud getting in. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  16. mikecotterill
    Yeah well that's the issue, I agree it would be a good idea to check there was oil in there, but only working with a particular make oil, then causing the thing not to run right with no obvious explanation of the fault is just daft. Even if it had stickers on it saying only use husky oil guard oil would help. One has gone back to the hire shop last week with the same "fault" Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Yeah that's the bit we removed, but I couldn't understand the bit about breaking the tab off. But I found a PDF copy on the net from the info you posted. I'm still interested to know how it controls the engine revs though? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  18. mikecotterill
    Not sure that's right mate, I think its if you drive professionally, so even if its only part of your job, may well be wrong though Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Where was that from mate? I gather there was a diagram with it? One of the worse ideas I can think of! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  20. mikecotterill
    Ps yep we've cracked a couple of those, but I do like being able to start the revs up to chip from the hopper, that's a big improvement over the older ones. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    To be honest with the original machine we just presumed the was a split pipe, that was letting air draw in over night a bit, but the new ones was brand new when we got it and that does it. It's quite a serious issue really, many a time our machine is left on track, and more than a few times last year it took so long to start it flattened the battery, not very good! Presumably gmech know about the issue? Maybe Pete will add something to this thread?? But its issues like this that give machines a bad reputation, especially in a couple of years time when the battery's getting tired, there'll be no chance of starting it!

    Ok so it's not really arb related but we have a husky disc cutter at work, tried it today, it started revved up for a few seconds then would only idle. So borrowed one from another yard, worked fine till we filled it up again, then the same thing, so obviously the fuel seemed to be an issue. So I googled the oil guard couldn't get much info except, your supposed to use husky two stroke or if you use any other you had to deactivate the system, couldn't find out how, until we figured out you had to pull a little plug out. So the questions is (finally!) anyone know how it works exactly, how does it know what oil is used? Also presumably there's a bit of a computer in it to stop the engine revving up??

    In fact sep 2014 if the above post is correct, there was a five year grace period I think Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
