    I buy chain oil from millers oils which is just down the road from me. You can order any viscosity you like, first time I bought SAE 400 from them in winter which was a big mistake, it wouldn't come out of the combi can in low temperatures. Now i use SAE150 which is good all round and stays on the bar as much as is required.

    Put in a search for fly agaric and this came up. Apparently there are many types of trip inducing shrooms, I need to get into mycology and chemistry a bit more and open a shroom cafe. Could sell cakes, teas, sarnies the lot. Fly Agaric (amanita muscaria) mushroom 25x extract (P663) Female Seeds

    I wouldn't have thought superglue would have stood up to petrol. Using mine without the sealer and it's still playing up so going to have to seal it Sent from my GT-I9505 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Here's one I've been having problems with....carb that is. The saw hasn't been running well with bad acceleration and lack of fuel symptoms. This is similar to the carb above where a plate seals a port or hole (welch plug ?). I don't know whether the problem is the sealer pealing causing air leak or the sealer going under the metering lever.

    swivel this swivel that ?? the ZZ failed at the weakest point the point of failure is where the hole is drilled for the spring location. the hole is drilled at the narrowest point of the side cheek the hole should be located more toward the 6 o'clock and thicker part of the cheek basic engineering principles swivel, sideload, vertical axis, horizontal axis, whats all that about

    It may be also something to do with ground nesting birds judging by the time scale. It really does annoy me that instead of trusting individuals to police themselves, they feel the need to control stocks in such a fashion. To me, all it will encourage is to either people hide or hoard stocks or pour the remainder down the drain rather than going to the trouble of handing smaller quantities back in or not and breaking the law.

    in my experience NFU do pay but no where near the insured amount, the loss adjuster just makes up a figure and that's it. I've pulled all my insurances off them Sent from my GT-I9505 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Also when your up there clip it onto your climbing line carabiner instead of your harness, then the climbing line is taking the full weight of the saw and it's not hanging off your harness dragging it down round your arse.
