  1. 'The world at war' never get sick of watching it.
  2. Very smart. I'll try and get some of mine after Xmas. Hope it looks as good as that.
  3. I've a 2001 model, exactly the same as that. One of the last entecs. Mines also still in daily use, and going to get a paint job over Xmas. Original yellow, not timberwolf orange, as you sometimes see them with.
  4. Also interested. What price are they?
  5. Just ordered moldex 7000 with p3 filters. I've always worn good quality disposable p3 masks. But, because of this thread, have gone for a half mask with replaceable filters. Look after you lungs. It's not like an eye, where you know immediately what damage is done. It can come back and haunt you years later.
  6. And a ww2 veteran, as well.
  7. When I think what I bought the saws for years ago, and what I got for them now, I can't complain. Might have to have a dig through the rest of my parts box and see what else I can find.
  8. No 550xp yet. You know me, keep things going
  9. Hi Chris. Sold all my old ms200's. For spares or repairs. Plus a load of ms200 parts. No good to me now, as I'm on ms201.
  10. Well, eBay has had a lot of bad press on here. So I was a bit dubious about selling a few old chainsaws and parts etc. Anyhow, I was happy with the price I got for all items, payment was prompt from all the buyers. All posted positive comments on the day of receiving items. Rather made my day, as I'd heard so much bad press, and not selling much, was a bit apprehensive.
  11. Try L&S engineers
  12. I've just bought one, but pin is missing. Could guess size, but just wondered is anyone knew the size
  13. Anyone know what size roll pin fits the discharge clamp?
  14. I've the same engine and chipper. But I've never seen mine hot like that in over 10 years. Can I ask how much you paid for the new engine. is it 25hp?
  15. Step's and ladders. Indispensable, but bloody dangerous. I had a problem with them years ago, that involved an ambulance, stomach ulcers and a stay in hospital. But that's a different story. Hope you mend up soon.
  16. Just a reminder, if you've a minute spare, remember those who gave their lives, for us.
  17. Have never done any before. Did you find torque settings for bolts, or just tighten them up?
  18. I was thinking about doing mine soon. Did you try heating the bolts first?
  19. Thanks Ian, but I'd rather put up with the pain!
  20. Yes, the lineker story is trash, but some interesting stories on the web site at the moment. Bizarre pinging noise in the Antarctic and lost US atomic bomb might have been found. Ignore the trash, and pick out the interesting articles.
  21. Don't fancy steroid injections, but I cant keep going like this. That's why I mentioned tens machine. Might try getting one
  22. Didn't realise tennis elbow could be so painful. Had it for a month now. Like someone else said, at times I can hardly lift a cup of tea. Using chainsaw not too bad, but hedge cutting is really bad. Can't really stop working, but will it clear up by itself? And are these tens machines any good?
  23. Think it's worth a carb, but was just wanting others opinions first, before I buy one
  24. No carb, but only £20 on ebay
  25. Ok, my 15 year old blower suddenly stopped today. Thought it was out of petrol, and it was. However, it suddenly stopped, not coughed and spluttered a bit before stopping, like things usually do. just stopped. Filled her up with juice and she won't start. Plenty of compression, I don't think it's a piston problem. Taken carb apart and cleaned with carb cleaner. All looked ok. Plenty of fuel in primer build, so fuel is getting to carb. Have put a bit of petrol down cylinder and she makes an attempt to fire, but won't start. So it seems to me that petrol isn't getting to cylinder. I checked the spark with a couple of plugs, (grounding on cylinder) and I thought the spark seemed very weak with both plugs. Gap to coil seems ok. Anyone any ideas?
