    You will need to cross section every graft just to see if it is truely grafted

    Thats a "proper" load of chip

    They sound a right set of cowboys. I dont know the manufacturer obviously but it is likely that they are a franchise. What I would do is phone someone like Stephill generators and ask their tech dept if for example you had a mucky air filter and the engine revs weren't stable..... Just see what they say. It's amazing that auto revving gennys dont blow capacitors every two minutes

    Cutting and holding from a mewp can be quite dodgey in that you are suddenly loading etra weight on. Bigger limbs I do what geoff said, let anther limb take the weight then gradually lift by hand and chuck

    Then when you take the 23 you need the 30

    You need it for when you get out of the basket into the tree

    Just get a receipt off them for taking the genny in and tell them that you think they are wrong about the "running rough" explanation, so you are going to contact the manufacturers tech dept to see what they think They are bulling you big style

    I'm glad I told them I was busy and gave them your number now

    So he can cut and hold silly

    Get it back in on warranty quickly. With no avr it must have a capacitor for regulation, the value of which is important, you may be able to down load a spec sheet from the manufacturers website and it may give you a value without AVR

    Sounds like a little bit more of a problem than the capacitor. It will more than likely be the AVR, capacitors dont blow because of rev fluctuations, that is bull. The person who sold it will have already had a quote for repair and thats why its being sold. I had a genny in for repair which turned out to be the avr, the genny was about £600 new, the avr as a spare was £430 Generators have a small magnetic field in the for of a small magnet in the rotor, when it starts to spin it generates a tiny current which then passes through the avr and which circulates it round building up more and more current untill it reaches a stage where it regulates it at the required voltage. Simply put Some gennys dont have an avr but do the same via the capacitor, through a small winding buried in the stator or outer winding, sometimes when the capacitor have gone this small innner winding can burn out so the process will not begin even with a new capacitor

    My chipper is air cooled which blows air through an oil cooler ontop of the engine, if and I must stress if, my gloves do somehow get wet, I just put them ontop of the oil cooler during tea break after the chipper has been running and they are dry and warm as toast after

    Stick with me my wee scottish friend, you may learn something useful...... Eventually

    Simples, I just dont work in the rain and if I lived in scotland where it rains forever, I would move down to Yorkshire, where men are men and dont wear girly gloves

    My yard is fed up of being robbed so it is evolving itself
  20. Dean Lofthouse
    Dont want to sound unsympathetic Andy, but you were pulling on the right handle the first time wasn't you ??
  21. Dean Lofthouse
    These tubs are at my yard, the little squares full of water froze over night and produced little spikes in the middle, some quite large Never seem owt like it. I think it's natural evolution for anti theft
