a mere 172 miles, mike hill came from norway-my bets on that being the furthest!

wait and get a feel for the saws at college/work placements, try as many different models as you can, a 200T is for climbers only, so will hinder you as H&S say we're not allowed to use them on the ground no-one will expect a new worker/trainee to bring their own saw, only maybe boots, trousers and helmet just be patient and wait

3rd that, checked mine daily when i had it, i had a tree flex 2-3yr ago only used it for 7months, had one of the faulty bridge ones, where they haddnt used the correct stitching, and as there was a protective sheath, you couldnt notice it. there was a recall after a guy (abroard i think) had his fail. when i looked at mine, there was no way it was going to take shock-loading, or possibly another climb-there was a 10mm gap between the folds with the stitching 50% appart-scary stuff!

880 is far to big for a fire-wood saw, totally un-nessary unless youre ringing up 4 foot plus diameter! 460 all the way best place to buy? AA trade fair this fri/sat

MS200T running like forest gump in his leg braces
josharb87 replied to josharb87's topic in Maintenance help
yep, just been out, put an old 020 carb on, tuned it, runs a treat again, dont know what was up with the old carb, put a new diaphram kit on so thought that would be it for fettling the carb, obviously not, not even our local dealer could figure it out-they just returned it with the problem, then again they are beyond useless:thumbdown: was doing my head in as thought id covered everything! thanks everyone! -

MS200T running like forest gump in his leg braces

will an old 020 carb fit the MS200? got a few 020s kicking around to try -
MS200T running crap, will idle for a bit then occassionally will start idiling irratically, revs up and down but not enough to run the chain, then stalls its-self. also if i pull the throttle trigger too quickly it will either take a second at a deeper tone like the chain-brakes on, then rev up or will stall-need to apply throttle slowly to prevent this air and fuel filters fine, stripped/cleaned/rebuilt carb, checked spark plug, retuned it/fiddled with tuning and now stumped to what to do! any ideas? it has had 2 years of hard use, so maybe its times up? may have to take a trip to jonsies at the AA! then again my 020 is 10years old and still going strong

what were the results for the above saws john?
-
depends what youre used to i guess, then agian, the light switches and eletrical switches at home all flick up to turn off i like the fact that its the on/off, choke, and half throttle is all on one switch, simpler imo

some interesting ones from today, not 100% on topic

took a swing into a peg (lesson learnt) went to hospital next day just to stop my then girlfriend giving me ear-ache, 3 hours out of hospital with 3 cracked ribs, was back climbing, admitidly slowly and like a robot! just take it steady, most of the pain went after about a week, but had twinges for a month when twisting in the harness or lifting

i dont reckon schumacher is the stig-looks too slim compared to last series stig! reckon he was there just to drive the fxx-ferrari prob wouldnt let anyone else anywhere near it!
-
or printer ink! dont worry about the tree work, they dont worry about silly stuff like trees, the bloke will turn up on site in trainers, shorts, no helmet or any other ppe, and check for empty crisp packets in the truck, dust on the dashboard, or scratched saws - a sure sign of bad tree work that so dont eat youre lunch, vallet youre truck and polish youre saws then once hes gone, you can actually get on, and do some tree work
-
youre project will be a book joe, this will be the never-ending thread! stihl for me as was the first saw i used at 13 and never really given huskys a chance, just think its easier to stick with one brand oh and i dont like the huskys start/stop switch or choke thingys, stihls one is a real neat design

cheers monkeyd!
