I'm thinking of the 620 too, my 360 has been nothing but a joy to use, it took a few tank fulls to sort itself out, but it is getting stronger in the cut as it gets used, no racing machine, but torquey, I'm running a Sugi carve bar & Stihl full chisel,& quite happy with the performance. I think there is some torpor going on with people reluctant to accept Echo as viable, that I feel will change in light of the declining competition, & as us 'saw pioneers' show them in their true light!

3 Yorkshire lads and 3 Cockney blokes were in a ticket queue at York Central train station heading to Euston for a Scotland - England International at Wembley. The 3 Cockneys each bought a ticket and watched as the 3 Yorkies bought just one ticket between them. "How are the 3 of you going to travel on 1 ticket?" asked one of the Cockneys. "Thall av t watch and learn" answered one of the boys from the North. When the 6 travellers boarded the train, the 3 Londoners sat down, but the 3 Northerners crammed into a toilet together and closed the door. Shortly after the train set off the conductor came around to collect tickets. He knocked on the toilet door and said, "tickets please." The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The Conductor took it and moved on into the next car. The Southerners saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea. Indeed, so clever that they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save themselves some money. That evening after the game, when they all got to Euston, the Cockney blokes bought a single ticket for the return trip, while to their astonishment, the 3 Yorkshire lads didn't even buy 1 ticket. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one of the perplexed Cockneys. "A tell thee, tha has t watch and learn", answered one of the Tykes. When they boarded the train the 3 Cockneys crammed themselves into a toilet and the 3 Yorkies crammed themselves into another toilet. Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Tykes left their toilet and walked over to the Cockney's toilet. He knocked on the door and said "ticket please".

So how does it work if you go for a Loler test on the cracked zigzag, it's going to fail, surely a case of 'not fit for purpose', yet Petzl say it's ok, its not life threatening, hmm...have I missed something here?

Form an orderly queue!

That is breathtaking.

As Treequip says, if not a top end refresh can be anything from new rings & bore hone, to rebore & valve lap, replacement, but check the external stuff before spending money.

Tired engines get hot, if it's burning oil, etc, sounds like it could do with a refresh on the top end.

Can you not cut & weld an extension?

It will only show hard frost, absorbs the rain so wont shine,is insensitive to the wind, & in fog you might bump your head on it! There's a lot of research goes into these things!

Beet ya to it, & got thanked!

One of the pitfalls of poverty is breeding, it's cheep entertainment Sh8gging...

Time for an Echo then?

Actually, that is bloody good stuff.

Let the petrol evaporate, lots of hot water & clothes washing liquid, pour the liquid cleaner on, & brush it about, let it have a bit of time to break up the oil, then hot water & brushing again. If the tarmac is soft from the petrol you might be better letting it evaporate for a day or so before. wash a large area & it will likely blend in.

If you go out in the rain or frost, look on the ground & if you see a stone that corresponds to the conditions prevailing, chances are it's a good one, if it has a hole in it then it's easier to hang mate! Failing that, for a marginal fee I can send you one!

Just get a 'weather stone', & hang it outside, failproof & accurate. If the stone is wet its raining. If it's white it's frosty. If its white on top it's snowing. If its swinging around it's windy. If you can't see the bloody thing it's foggy. Simples...

Congratulations, lovely babies.

Welcome back after what sounds like a long heartbreaking journey to a better place.

Nice honest post mate!

Sorry to hear this mate, not good.

Bloody good post mate, this subject gets swept under the carpet by so many in all walks of society, & depression is debilitating. I know a lady who for years has denounced anyone suffering with it, thinks it doesn't exist! Guess what... for the last couple of months she has been miserable, tired etc, & has been diagnosed as a sufferer, how the worm turns!

Simply stunning work...had to look a couple of times... I hope you get over that illness quick,

That is most likely your fault on the machine, try Cautrac, they are in colchester & are good people for bits. Cautrac | Tracked Dumpers | Leading Construction Machines & Parts Supplier

They are concentrating on policing towns, so the cop told me when I got hit, not the resources for the rural areas, in Essex at least. Now watch me get a speeding ticket tomorrow...

Sorry to hear this, these people know their targets, & will gain access in difficult circumstances, they are a professional, organised network of thieves, it's about time the powers that be concentrated on breaking them, and dishing out severe punishment.
