  1. Nope, any oil that goes into the exhaust will burn or oil the exhaust but that's nothing to do with oil in the air box, the two aren't connected, what's happening is the engine is pressurising the sump and forcing aspirated oil up the breather, if enough of it gets into the air intake it can start running on its own oil and that's a recipe for self destruction
  2. Half the trick of not getting pulled is to look like you don't need to get pulled:laugh1:
  3. I like it when that happens, as long as its clean and fits:laugh1:
  4. He isn't looking for a job, he is self employed, there is a huge difference from an employers point of view
  5. Be that as it may its not what you perceive it's their perception that matters.
  6. There is an element of training the competition. You have already said that you will be gong after domestic works sooner or later, it might not be just the inexperience thing thats making them reluctant. People could be forgiven for thinking you just wanted a look at how their firm works.
  7. If what they did caused the problem then they should fix it, your problem may be proving that is the case
  8. Its perfectly normal to look at your actions in the cold light of day and naturally you are able to see things you could have done differently, reacting well under those circumstances is a difficult thing, many go to pieces at the sight of a bit of claret and scalp wounds do bleed well, add to that the family factor, and anyone would do well not to have at least a "moment". Rather than analysing your actions, ask yourself if you would have been able to step up if there wasn't someone else there to take the first aid on.
  9. Its got a radiator so it wont be hatz, if it is a cummins 4 B series the engine is worth waaaay more than 4 hundred edit looking at it that's engine looks a tad small to be a 4B
  10. Have you ever driven one? It would be a short romance:laugh1:
  11. Having worked on a few I can agree its a good car but like all cars now, it is designed with the emphasis on low cost to build regardless of how expensive that makes it to maintain. The diy mechanic is going to have problems he didn't have with earlier models but that can be said of most manufacturers for quite some time now
  12. In an urban environment probably not very far but at 6am in the rural quiet you described about half a county away
  13. Its cool now, there is no roof:laugh1:
  14. The blueing is nothing to do with your usage, it was on the bar when it arrived, its part of the heat treatment to make the bar durable, what you have done is taken a bit of paint off to expose the colour. Its probably not possible to create that kind of heat by friction with a chain and if you could the chain would get just as hot and you would have noticed the chain oil burning off the bar and plastic bits melting and dripping off your saw just before it caught fire.
  15. Are you serious? It had 4 tractor pulling on it
  16. With a massive caveat that if you use it and bad things happen they aren't responsible
  17. What he said
  18. Ha ha, I am going to call it a product test and invoke the general rule of, I am a tree surgeon so I am exempt....from everything
  19. Now that I didn't expect, I wasn't actually serious, you cant use anything but the grillons rope without taking it out of its CE mark and the safety elf's wont like that, at the moment its got a bit of imori in it and that's a tad fat making it harder to use.
  20. Don't rely on a dog to keep the scum out, they have no morals and will think nothing of poisoning your animal.
  21. Or is slipping and falling is more dangerous? I tried a wire core line but it won't go through my grillon, can you get one with a thinner core?
  22. Pretty simple when you think about it, the fire is centred on the bar so bar lube, saw dust and a spark.
  23. Its called a flip line, the wire core is to make it flip, its not cut protection
  24. My engineers report cost £120.00
