Probably just flooded. Leave the plug out for a good while then give it a try. You could try turning it over with the ignition off, the plug out and the saw upside to help/speed it up.

You've lost me. well if you think I'm stamping my feet at something. I just couldnt have someone graft for me and not pay them, that's all I'm saying. Couldnt care what anyone else does, at least if they have a few people gaining experience and not having to pay them they can be more competitive than others. Everyones a winner. I suppose in answer the the OP, no arb isn't the only industry there are plenty of others. As long as people are genuinely learning a skill(hopefully not just dragging brash as I've seen before!) or gaining a job then good luck. -
Of course not. Tbh I don't see the connection. Im not making the customer any money by proving them with a free quote.

With the"big society" on the way we will all soon have to be volunteers working free. Have had loads of cv's and people asking for jobs over the years but not one has said they would do it for free to gain experience, quite a lot have been college leavers. Tbh I couldnt have someone working and not pay them or let then think they arent getting paid.

Go on then man!! You have to tell us what it was??? I invented rocket boots.

You keep pushing that envelope mate.

What I would say is take your time when trying a new system out. I tried a vt and hitch climber after using just a prussik and side strop(im already one step ahead of you:biggrin:) for nigh on 15 years. It was an experience i can tell you that! Back to the prussik for now untili get the time to take my time learning how to use it properly.

Yeah mine looks fine though. Peeled back the outer cover a bit(not that easy to do) and could see the wire core was very clean with no hint of rust. I reckon here lies the problem(the damage being were the doubled back core ends.) This could... 1. Possibly be the cause,maybe the tail end rubs the coating off the steel allowing it to rust quickly. 2. Make it difficult to assess if the rope is thining/thickening due to wear/rust as it is right on the taper. Obviously I'm jumping to a bit of a conclusion here, just seems to be a bit of a coincidence to me. Anyway if nothing else the thread has no doubt made a load of us go and check our strops a bit more. Or bin them and stick to using rope which is easier to check.

Monkeysteve did the strop snap at the point where the steel core has doubled back on its self and then ends? Looking at my yale strop (which is exactly the same) it seems to be the case which if so is more than a coincidence to me.

What happens to the billions that die never knowing about God?
-
I think Christians have made more than enough claims about Jesus for everyone. Jesus may have existed as a man but 'God' doesnt.
-
I'd probably climb it, might not want to rig stuff off it though! Well certainly nothing bigger than I could rig one handed. Has it been checked out for inotus, and other stuff?

Can I ask what 'maxijacketing' is? I would also like to know what the inspection criteria is please? Thanks
-
Good bit of info there. How does ring barking apples and pear trees not kill them when I understood that if you remove the cambium the tree will die?
-
Now what on earth would give you that idea?

Can I get a discount for buying 3? You never know if your going to get a nasty infection in all 3 eyes at the same time!

046 is a great saw and well worth repairing, as long as the rest of it snt on its last legs. Try removing the wire from the ignition coil which is the cut out then give it a try. Note though just test to see if it sparks,if you try and succeed in firing the saw up you wont be able to turn it off by the switch.
-
Good to see no injury came of the failure. Looks like an item that isnt worth getting inspected since well it cant be!
-
Havent read the whole thread but maybe have a read of Derren Browns "Tricks of the mind" has a good section on how to remember things. I think:001_tongue: Joking aside it is good though but you do have to practice quite a bit like most things. telephone,sausage,monkey,buttons,book..... springs to mind!

Cant you just do the job through the week? Money would be more reasonable then.
-
Pay good rates then.

Are they the new fandangled coronet/fracture stump pruning cuts?
-
Ha you cut it down but complained someone had graffitied it! I bet I know what the tree would rather have. Only taking the pee a bit , thought it looked quite cool and better than being set on fire which is what usually happens.
-
Well I saw a few bits that look like they fell off!
