Good stuff Predator,it's been a nice day here, working out on the local estuary,the air & views were most invigorating!
-
Dont envy you that job,looked a nasty climb,great video & smooth work too.

Someone else will say it better,but the idle screw adjusts the off trigger (tickover)revs,by holding the carb buterfly partialy open,adjusting this screw opens or closes the carburettor opening. Th L screw adjusts the fuel/air mixture from tickover to maybe quarter or half throttle,so adjusting this will richen or lean out the low rev mixture,in some saws it will also have an effect on the H screw,which controls the mixture at high revs. Clear as mud.

Thats a good comment.

I for one would be gutted if aspen were to become unavailable. luckily more dealers are waking up to its existence.

Cheers Spud,aiming at a sunday pickup if alls ready.
-
I think that covers it in the above posts,nice find though.

Normaly a few on e bay,it might fetch £100,but not desirable to those in the know.

Vibratory old thing,not the best of the old stihl saws,but fun all the same.

Interesting post this,I use aspen in all my hand held kit. A reasonable sized take down,say a days work, might involve using from 5 to 10 litres,a generous alowance I think. Now the price difference between pump premix & aspen will be at most £10/20 on said job,If I am charging the client a most reasonable £450 for the task,I will have to charge between 2 & 4% more than the pump fuel user. Felling & clearing will be more,(but that is not my core work load). On these figures,(derived by myself I admit),which are an exageration of the cost difference,I think we can compete as aspen users,& in fact many do. Personaly I dont realy notice the extra cost,but I'm thick skinned & dull in the head, It would be interesting to hear how other aspen users feel on this.

Its not upside down on my screen,but I nicked the pic to invert it for you; photo%25204 by geoff321, on Flickr

Spot on.

Oh my poor old limp wrists sure I will get used to it.

I use aspen in all my hand held equipment,it is expensive,but what price your health,the saws seem to run very well on it,& no worries it I leave the 3120 in the shed for a couple of months & then expect it to slog its guts out with a long bar,or my spare top handle to sit idle then spring into life.

Pm me a price on it spud,if you want to sell the 345.

Best way to use the knot guide is to sit down with a bit of rope & tie the knots,helps learn them faster,& they stick in your head that way.
-
Thanks Spud,got a nice run of pop chogging waiting for it,after a gentle start of course.
-
Save some money & read up on here,loads to learn on the forum,try the knot guide & fungi directory for starters.

I'm off fancy dress party and need a chainsaw suit

Erm,yes,I can see how that might be the hardest part.. -
Was that my 200t Spud? looks good inside!
-
Yes,the 2t is for 2 strokes,& 4t for the four strokes. The little saws will do your job,but if you spend a bit more you will not regret in in the long run,in my opinion.
-
The stihl & husky will both be reliable,I would use aspen fuel as sugested or you will be liable to fuel problems,but for what its worth get a larger saw to make sure it can handle the larger pieces,those tiny domestic saws wont like dealing with regular cutting on stuff much over 8 inches,something like the stihl ms250 would be a very good reasonably priced saw. Try F.R. jones,for a good price.

No feedback score,selling for a mate,& a lifted pic of the wrong chipper = dodgy to me.

That screw loose is a known problem with the G9,but does not affect the later G series,pain in the pixels though.
