2013 mate
-
yes,i reset the carb myself as I wasn't happy how she was running after a day or two,then I had her 'factory' set up by a guy that knows more than me.i'll catch mr shavey and maybe even mr spud for a diagnosis

stihl hp on all my kit
-
Can't believe it,i have lots of saws but this little wasp is my favourite,stopped suddenly today,stripped it tonight,heavily scored piston and pinched ring.bought stateside so my warranty is probably worthless.not missed a beat in 8 months,gutted
-
I consider it, then I buy them what I think they would like,then 6 months later (read brian clough) we all agree I was right

Have experience with all 3.362 a bit erratic,average handling,runs 18" bar well.560 a bonkers wasp,have a 2013 model,i expect it to break down once a fortnight,it does! Echo cs 600 (610) bombproof,good torque de-limbing large hardwoods,pleasure to use all day.If I drove 50 miles with only one saw I'd take the echo

I'd say around 300kg green but I could be wrong.heaviest I've had on my truck is usually conifer that can come in at 2 ton for roughly 5 cube,so around 400kg,lots of variables though I suppose,hope this helps

weight wise?
-
Thanks chaps,will have a crack tomorrow.spud I've noticed the carb I removed has a screw that has torn the thread,one of the four on the top,guessing that's not good,is there a remedy for this being such a fine screw/thread or is it a bin job?
-
I have a 254xp that has a very good spark but will not fire up.I've tried another carb off a good runner and still nothing.piston and pot look in very good order,fuel line is clear etc,bit stumped now,any ideas? thanks guys

Had both older 372 and now x torque.nothing in it for me.new model is slower to run down to idle.a trifle annoying but i'm not snedding with it!

-
thanks spud,shortest thread in history!

Nissan cab star thoughts suggestions please
THE88MAN replied to Dryad's saddle's topic in Arb-Trucks
Had one for 4 years now,shocking ride,shocking off tarmac,small in the cab but great at everything else! Ultra reliable,will carry a full load of chip or logs no problem.not the quickest full with a tw 150 behind but solid as a rock -
