    Oh my, thank you very much for finding that link!

    The tax credit system in France is rotten with fraud.

    What is your tax rate over there for self employed? Ours is around 50% of profit in social charges with income tax being very variable depending on whether you are married and the number of children in the household. Some single people in our trade with no kids pay around 65% combined social charges and income tax.

    Hello, In the absence of decent Youtube videos, I'm looking for advice on taking the front off to access the radiator. The bumper in particular looks to be a bit of a mystery. I'm reluctant to use a garage as throwing money at an old truck will just give my accountant wife further reason to delay purchasing a newer one. Any advice welcome. Cheers Stuart

    I'm on a 4 day week with Wednesday's being quotes and tool fettling. Come September the apprentice will be fettling whilst I quote I do occasionally work a 5 day week but the extra effort required often impacts on my weekends energy reserves.

    I mostly work local and often with my wife when in town so arrive around 9 and leave by 3:30 to collect the kids unless they have after school club. Both stubby climbers have kids to drop off or collect so it's often a later start to suite us all. Now with an apprentice starting in September I need to keep an accurate time sheet.

    Oh! You find that funny do you? Siding with my wife now? Bastards, the lot of you...

    A rake, a lovely wide plastic rake with a varnished wood handle. I really wanted a 7.5t Isuzu tipper but Mrs Lee vetoed that as she wants a house instead.

    Ah nuts, I found the source of the carb problem. Dust infiltration. The new air filter isn't seated tight enough.

    Is it worth getting a compression test before dismantling it?
  11. Ty Korrigan
    No idea as to the cause, I just change the oil and air filter. As a fresh engine is just a day's turnover, it seems tempting to go for one rather than fecking around fettling or handing it over to the local mower shop.

    Now then, This engine is on my wee FSI B20 stumpgrinder and has done 200 hours. The head gasket is failing. I can also smell oil being burnt. A kit containing all the gaskets and seals can be had for just a few Euros. Is it likely I will need a new head though? I could buy a new engine for under €800 Meanwhile, It will have to hang on a little longer before my long Summer break as only then will I have the time to fettle.

    Who are you with your 15K posts and wot do you know about chainsaws anyway...?

    Hello all, Well, that was 'fun'... As suggested by a forum sage, I took the exhaust off and used the airline to push the broken piston blocker towards the port, time and time again until I could winkle it free using a bent chainsaw file (handle end) I never once lost my temper, just kept winkling away until it came free. Put the saw back together to find it now won't start...FFS! What might I have done during my winkling session that has affected the saw so it won't start? Stuart

    I was seriously questioning my competence after this. Now to figure out if the Sugi bars are a dodgy run or not.
  17. Ty Korrigan
    Ah, thanks for the advice. It is the entire head.
  18. Ty Korrigan
    Yes, that design makes sense.
  19. Ty Korrigan
    FFS! I've been using starter cord since Merrist Wood but recently got told I should be using this tool instead. So I did only to find it snapped off inside the cylinder. So far I've not managed to winkle it out and am probably looking at removing the head of an Echo 2511 This come on top of losing two Sugihara bars to the same fault within days on the same saw, the noses blowing on each. Now it would be easy to say that I over tightened the chains blah blah blah but I fully well know that is not the case. The piston blocker broke off as I was trying to replace the sprocket to install the Oregon Nano Speedcut system to replace the failed Sugihara bars. Before I delve into the school of YouTube, anyone removed an Echo head? Stuart

    Neither do Lombardi's really, they might have done better but for the lazy cuts made by earlier pruners...

    Could I ask, what wheelbase is that and how long is the chip box?
  23. Ty Korrigan
    Would 150hp be sufficient for a 7.5t? I could get it remapped of course. The 5.2 being 190hp...
  24. Ty Korrigan
    Anyone an opinion?

    I've asked a question about tacho use on Arborist Grimpeur if you visit that group.
