Rather hit a nail than a stone any day. Get used to them. Their part of the job.
-
I'm a bit worried now. Are you saying I need to be tooled up to when I go for a night out in deepest Barnsley?
-
Thanks for that one Kev. We might just pop down after a round. Are you offering to come and pick us us?
-
The annual golfing trip is upon us, and we're soon heading to Barnsley. So, where is good for a night out? Pubs with live bands on would suit us. Most of us are in our 40's, so no modern chart music thumping out. Can't stand that stuff
-
If your just starting out, try a bit of green wood to practice on. It's easier to turn.
-
I was waiting for you to reply !!!!. Must admit, I thought it carb. Just glad it's running ok again Chris.
-
Used the saw today. Went fine, so it seems like it was the coil after all.

It's got decompression on the side, spud with a blue electronic ignition unit. Probably about 5 years old. I've had a really good look at the fuel line, pulled it out an inch or so. Can't see any sign of damage. Have stretched it a bit and it still looks ok. Petrol coming out of open carb end, but no sign of a split or leak near bit where it goes into fuel tank. I'm lucky as I have an old 372 that I run a Lewis winch off, so I've put the coil from that on to the problem saw. Have tried it. Starts and runs ok, but I really need to try it in timber for an hour or so, before I'll know if problem is fixed. Will keep anyone interested posted.

Cheers spud. First job in the morning. Will report back.
-
Thanks spud. Was hoping you'd comment. I've cleaned the carb gauze filter, so,i t's not that. The saw idles perfect. If it's a split fuel line, should there be fuel leaking?
-
Ok, my 372 has been playing up for a while, but it's got worse now. It first started by not going to full revs for a few seconds, then cleared itself. This had gradually got worse, until it seems to be choking itself, then goes fine, then chokes itself again. Seems like it's running on half power when the problem occurs. I thought it was a carb problem, have taken the carb off, taken jets out, cleaned gauze filter and rinsed with petrol. Problem still occurring. There's plenty of fuel getting through to carb. Have taken tank vent out and all seems ok. Beside, it still did it with petrol cap loosened. It has started suddenly stopping when cutting through wood. Not a slow stall, but very sudden. Have replaced spark plug with another and it's still occurring. Leads to coil seem OK, nothing frayed. A work colleague suggested the coil may be playing up, and I'm beginning to think he was right. Does it sound like a faulty coil to anyone else?

Just read all six parts. What a great read, and a piece of ww2 history. Made my day reading that.
-
I knows one people used to gather them up and chip them
-
Yes, holes in one were great. got me in the mood for this Friday's round already.
-
Doing really well Leicester. But what about Danny Willett, US masters champion. Great viewing last night, had to stop up to see the finish.

Replanting Site Advice
daveindales replied to BackoftheWoods's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
By yourself a planting bag, if plants are small enough. Look a bit like a newspaper delivery bag. -
Think that's a bit of sound advice.
-
The trouble is finding someone else. Many around here are local farmers, and are just starting lambing.
-
It was 'word of mouth' to him that it had to be finished and invoiced by end of March.
-
Trouble is, he hasn't finished any of the fencing, just got posts and strainers in.
-
I'm halfway through a planting and fencing contract. The job has to be finished and invoiced by the end of March. I am doing the planting and I've sub contracted the fencing. I am being constantly being fobbed off with one excuse or another by the fencer. He's halfway through the job and is hardly ever on site and even when he is, it's only half a day or so. I don't want to let my client down, but at this rate, the fencers not going to be finished in time. Can I impose a late completion fine or something half way through the job? First time I have used him. Anyone any ideas.
-
I got a new one for mine a couple of years ago. Think it was around £300. Including fitting from orange plant. If I were you, I'd try and do a deal that they fix it, if you buy it.
-
I've a ch25. Had it over 10 years. No plans to change it, as it will chip all day, is light to move, and has been fairly reliable. More power than the tw125. Great machine

Just bought a 'heavy duty' tarpaulin off the internet. When it arrived, the packaging said its guaranteed to be waterproof for '18 months'. Don't think it will last as long as the one I've been borrowing off my dad. Used it when we went on holiday in 1981, and it's still 100% waterproof.
