I can do that for you if you want, tell me the location and I'll send it to you as a jpg.

Yep, under the front end of the top handle is a little wire with a spade conection that may have come loose.

Similar to my insulting tape!

Maybe clean the oil pump with petrol and an air gun and empty the oli tank and blow that through as well?

Meant in the nicest way Hama.

Biggest tree you have ever been up and dismantled (uk only)

Its always interesting to check on arbtalk in the morning to see what time I got in the night before!!!!!! I only went out for a couple! Anyway, I meant its a Cock question, not that the poster is one. Don't know him, no offence meant. -
Thats one of the best saws theyh ever made IMO. I have one about the same age and its my oldest saw and most favorite. it now has an 18 inch bar and its aggressive to say the least. Oiling parts do wear out easily though. Check that the metal spiggot is actually turning the worm screw in the centre of the oil pump. sometimes they come apart from each other. As for boggign down, thats more likely a carb problem which is not my thing really. Try and get it fixed if you can its an awsome saw and you should be smiling when you use it. I think mine is better then my new ms460 which was supposed to replace the 044 but I still choose the 044 in the tree and not the 460.

And the fact that you are a fungi nerd.

You cock! -
The cat doesn't have an opinion because it is a CAT. I hope I'm brave enough to let my dog rest once his back legs give up, no wheels or silly things like that just to make me feel better about myself.

Thats the one! I do wish I had seen this tree before hand, but this was my first visit.
-
Yep, poor show !! Didn't even have a phone with me that day! Proper rubbish performance all round! Left a rake behind, and now can't find my 30 inch 066 bar!!? Also, lost some keys this week, my best sunnies, broke the spare wheel off the trailer and the roller shutter doors off the truck, and didn't put the fuel cap back on the chipper after re fueling (drove 20 miles but didn't lose it) Maybe the heat.

There were definatly some ganno wotsits and some other stuff...... Sorry about the photos, no battery so turned it on and took a pic, then repeated that 6 times before it wouldn't even come on.
-
I remember you mentioning that! Yes, on trining day its multi pile up on that corner! Have you tried it? If you told me about it then forgive me for not remembering much!!
-
Yep. Was planning on going tomorrow but might actually work instead!
-
Me too. Slipped disc the year after I started wakeboarding! Still go now and then but make do with a cable tow not a boat.
-
And not to lanyard in to remaining feeble bit either!
-
Not a sudden rush of sap this lat in the year. This tree has been in a bad way for some time, poor fork structure, evidence of a minor branch growing inside the fork, plus storm damage to two major limbs above the break. Why it failed on that day at that time, I don't know. More likely temperature change on top of the fact that its in full leaf (heavy) it was going to go soon but went on the day it got really hot. All Speculation.
-
View from the driveway. The customer had already cut up the fallen bit to clear the drive. Luckily I could rope into the remaining beech behind and work from there. Got some video but probably not best to show it! I didn't lanyard in to the remaining stem at all and just boshed it all down ASAP. The final cuts above the break point were 90% rotten.
-
Went to look at this beech last week. It failed the week before. The main stem has broken off leaving what would have been described as a small side stem, but is now a reasonably large tree attached to a rotten stump! Job was to take down the remaining upright bit and lateral branch. I think if had seen the tree standing I probably would have climbed it, but it failed midday with hardly any wind.
-
This sums it up at the moment.........
-
Sorry for the slight derail !! Good luck.

Everything you are describing here is freelancing/self employed and not sub contracting.

As for the franks bit, bit, sorry I thought I was quoting you, maybe I quoted something you quoted. I dunno, got confused somewhere along the line.
