  1. I need a 50mm piston for a early 044, Stihl no longer make this one anymore with the 10mm pin, I'm thinking of a Chinese one from flebay, I've never used one before, what the general opinion on these? Are they worth the effort?
  2. Th south east desperately needs a dedicated high capacity Biomass plant. There's no shortage of chip. Fingers crossed something will get sorted soon, in the short term the price for chip here in the south has dropped by 80%
  3. Apparently SSE the energy provider have pulled the plug, no pun intended! Stobarts are pissed too.
  4. I hear they used 2-4k ton a week, that's a lot to be hanging around the southeast, now with no where to go.
  5. I heard on the grapevine today that Slough biomass power station has closed permanently, no doubt resulting in many job loses. Does anyone have anymore info on this? Now what am I going to do with the chip
  6. <p>Yeah no problem Eddie go ahead, please don't mention CTS. Thanks.</p>

  7. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, I'm seem to be getting a increasing number of unwanted advertising SMS messages from ARb suppliers (some on this forum you know who you are!) Am I the only one who finds really irritating? If I want something I know where you are! Email I can handle everyone's used to that, but not my own personal mobile phone, I don't get them from other industry's I may contact Please stop Rant over.
  8. Around 3-4 I reckon, in some cases I've seen 2 years. We've easily doubled our saw life using Aspen.
  9. Using Aspen you'll get up to about 8 years out of a MS200T
  10. What a pile of scrap, as bad as that is we had a machine nearly as awful that chipped that bad about 15 years ago sold under the caravaggi brand, was a truly awful single roller pile of poo. And the flywheel fell off! I still see them crop up every now and then under a different name tho.
  11. Cool, nice one, just be careful the sump doesn't run dry at that angle, nice work though.
  12. Agreed museum piece that one. Deadly, Oscar Pistorius can operate without fear though!
  13. Brill thanks for advice all
  14. Ok I'll get one ordered up. Thanks for the tuning tip ill have fiddle with them.
  15. Is the only difference between the regular 660 and the Magnum just the muffler? And is there much noticeable difference when using? I've done a bit of research on mediacat on it it's the only difference in parts I can see. If so does anyone no where I can get a muffler? Stihl won't supply to uk. Cheers.
  16. Looking at 2k bill on ours for injector pump. Only done 90k had it from new. Not amused.
  17. I too use helicoil regularly for saw pots never had a problem. Even done one with pod in situ once, did it all inverted! Not recommended!
  18. Would be worth a vist just for a nose around
  19. The oiler plate should just have a small slot screw holding in on. If the clutch surround wont come off it may of got hot and melted a little around the drum, a good pull with pliers should do it. Ensure all the torx screws are out, I think there's four on that saw. If none of that works, drum off I'm afraid.
  20. I've got a Greenmech Quadchip which is about three years old, a 2inch gap has developed between the feed rollers meaning small brash is a pain to chip, could anyone point in the right direction to fix it? Also I'd like to sharpen the rollers are they easy to remove? Thanks in advance.
