I thought it best to start the new year with a good old Stihl V Husky fight.: Im sure huskys are just as reliable..as long as you spend plenty of time and money maintaining them. No seriously though I find that if you give the oil and fuel tanks a little swill out now and then then the saws dont really have any problems.

Since we use pro saws I am under the presumption that they dont need messing about with every five minutes. I hardly ever turn or dress the bar although I should give the air filter a more of a clean than I do. Plus I never bother warming the saws up and they last way long enough to get great value for money out of them. If people can be bothered and enjoy spending an hour or so every week cleaning their saws then fair enough:thumbup1:, I just dont think they need it though. I do carry spare chains though as hitting some stone or soil with a big saw isnt fun and Im not as quick at sharpening as Mr Skyhuck. Although I mainly run Stihls which we all know are more reliable than Huskys.

The big problem I have with guys like this is that if they do cause a bit of a major problem they will in the van and off, leaving the customer in the shite and paying any bills. Why peole are saying the customer is a fool and we wouldn't want to work for them is baffling to say the least!!! The customer could have even picked the highest quote from the biggest bull crap speaker who looks like he's been in the game for years. As said by others though don't let it worry you a two minute rant and a laugh is all they deserve.

So then what is olive ash? Is it like fiddle back sycamore? You know what I mean. My guess is common dogwood, am I close?

nope but will look out for it. Checking out the you tube link.

BBC2 now. Worth a laugh.

I can see a few people reaching for their oxygen mask when see that! (Mr H and Mr H come to mind:001_smile:) Looks like it was a boss tree.

It might just be that a mate or family friend has given a price but suggested they get other quotes so not to feel that they are either giving a cheap price or over quoting. At least it was a small job with not much legwork, its less nice being used as a back marker on a large job with alot of calculations. I remember being asked to quote for a job(domestic didnt sound very big) a few questions over the phone and it transpired that she was getting something like 10-12 quotes all in all! Suffice to say I didnt manage to find the time to quote for that job.

Looks like a good sized root plate that could easily pop back into its hole judging by the angle and take someones head off if they dont get it right! Definitely worth a series of pics when it gets worked on.

I would have just thanked him for informing me.

Nope never bored being away from work. Anyone who is desperate to go outside in the wet and wind to climb a tree is just mental!!

Don't use a cheap two stroke oil then put it in at 50:1! You don't have to use a stihl or husky two stroke just make sure it's a synthetic high performance oil, actually it may be a part synthetic, will have a check of what I use and get back to you. As for chain oil anything really just as long as it ain't used oil of any kind. I have used the cheapest of engine oils and never found the bars and chains to have any more wear than when using anti fling oil.

Looks like a nasty place to have an injury and in over christmas, double ouch!! Hope op goes well and healing time is quick. Oh and do exactly what the doctors say to do, ie rest it!

your right but I will take this opportunity to change it to 'boot up the arse' There are too many people these days that need a boot up the arse or a good swift kick in bollocks! From reading most of the for and against posts I have came to the conclusion that the main difference is that the against think he was throwing his weight about and bullying/picking on the teenager the ticket. The for don't think this and think his was/is the case. I totally agree that anyone truly using their size or strength be that physically or mentally should not be tolerated at all and deserve everything that the law can throw at them. But, I don't see that happening here at all, it's not like he just started picking on the teenager for no reason and decided he would just throw him off the train for the craick! If the teenager was injured it wasn't because some guy had thrown him off the train it's because he tried to dodge a train fare then thought he would give lip and cause a lot of nuisance to many people. Well that's the way I see it, if you behave like an arse don't expect to be treated fairly.

Thanks, i stand uncorrected then.

Oh, right I thought you were talking bollocks for a second there....

You read my post all wrong, i suggest if it was an old dear instead of the big man.

Youre kind couldn't have summed it up any better. Was thinking about this the other day. If it was an old dear who hit him with her hand bag and shoed him off the train she would have got a standing ovation, no doubt whatsoever.

I'm fairly sure it has but you have me wondering now! Will have to check next year I know the 346 has and has the limiter caps, the 3120 is the only other husky I own so thought I would ask about that too but now I'm thinking it doesn't have limiters anyway. So then, does anyone know if the standard settings are one turn out if you remove the caps?

I didn't think you could get a mig welder capable of truly welding 10mm running off a standard 13 amp plug?

Now that's low. I think I would look into getting the cat bypassed and the ecu remapped. Would be cheaper than £1100 and at least it won't happen again!!!

In general are H L screw settings on the husky carbs the same as the stihl ie remove the limit caps screw in then out one turn? I'm asking for a 346 and 3120. Thanks.

I suppose it would be a start,why not? What on earth is the reasonable way to deal with it, wait for ages for the rail police while everyone else suffers due to his selfishness? Come on, get real he is a criminal so @@@@ him.

Did you watch the video? Did that look like the actions of someone who forgot to buy a ticket or got on the wrong train? Who knows what the consequences of that little thiefs actions are. Someone suggested that the others on the train would be late to watch their favourite TV shows so what's the problem! I would havzard at a guess that with that many people delayed for that amount of time thier could easily be someone who was late to visit a loved one in hospital, late for a job interview, late to pick their children up late for etc etc etc. So how dare someone steal from all those passengers then have the audacity to give cheek and blatantly not care about his actions and the following consequences. Its people like him and people who support his 'human rights' that are destroying this country.

Dinosaur farts. No smell, no mess and instant heat, I tell you its the future, i've felt it. Oh and its cheaper:thumbup:
