Oregon "21" and "34" is 1.5mm/0.058" drive link gauge and 0.325" pitch. The equivalent Husky chains would be H21, H25, H38. Check the bar if that's what is specified.

Provided you can compare it to the similar feature on the FS 130 Brush Cutter, Stihl calls it a "fueld pump bulb", see http://www.stihlusa.com/stihl_ownersmanuals/FS130_Manual.pdf (page 37), where it states: The main function may, however, be to force out air.
-
Well, the PRO Stihl FS-130 (and KM-130) brush cutter 4-mix engine also uses a fuel primer, so even Stihl already use them for pro-range products. But why they choose to fill the carb fuel chamber using a primer pump, I don't know. Possibly it saves a few pulls when starting cold, so you don't have to have the carb membrane suck-in the fuel.
-
The MS192T also has a fuel primer

Bacho makes a short one (42 cm, 740 grams, see picture below) specifically for arborists, and a small telescopic lever also exists (28-48 cm, 828 grams, picture).

... which tastes equally horrible as the sap itself. Just more concentrated. I could tell you what it tastes like, but it would be against forum rules (foul language), so would possibly be deleted by forum moderators

I've had a MS 261 for a few months, and the only thing that annoys me a little, is that it is a little slow to reduce the revs when letting go of the gas. Possibly a carb adjustment problem - the idle factory setting is a little high, too. Havn't been concerned enough to do anything about it, yet. I started a 261 thread shortly after getting mine, see http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/24008-stihl-ms261-first-impressions.html

No, I never mix languages (unintentionally), but a funny thing is that back in 1987, when I'd been living in England for about a year (without family, so I only spoke English), I discovered that my dreams and thoughts started to be English language, too.

What is the weight of the lightest self-propelled chipper?
morten replied to morten's topic in Large equipment
A link to more information would be good... -
You wouldn't want hick Swedes as your groundsmen. TRUST ME!
-
How would that allow the plug to get wet (from fuel)?
-
Obviously, you'd have twice the weight on friction hitch on the single rope as you have on the doubled rope. The exact same condition that applies when you are performing a rescue on a doubled rope. Twice the weight on the friction hitch, thus using figure-8 with friction hitch as back-up for descend. The friction hitch (prussik) also tends to bind more easily with double load. No fun hanging halfway down with a blocked friction hitch and no way to loosen it since you wouldn't have the strength to take the weight off it.
-
I am considering getting a self-propelled chipper, that needs to be able to get through garden-gates (i.e. < 90 cm width). But they all seem to weigh a tonne (literally). Which leads to my question: What is the weight of the lightest self-propelled chipper? And what are the specs of it?
-
I think the biggest barrier for you is that most swedes speak English (and don't mind doing it, unlike most Frenchman). You your best bet is to start off by asking those around you (personal and work relations) to speak Swedish to you, even if you reply in English. That way you'll concentrate on the language and discover that you understand more and more (the "passive vocabulary). Ask about the words you don't understand and have them translated. Then later, you can start off speaking more swedish yourself. Start off by speaking the common daily phrases. And ask those near you to tell you what you just said, would sound like in Swedish. That way you'll quickly learn important nouns and verbs, this building up your so called "active vocabulary". Good luck! PS: My native language is Danish, but I also speak English, Swedish/Norweigian, German, Mandarin Chinese and a little Russian. And if I concentrate a little, that ballast actually means understand Dutch/Belgian too.
-
Nope. That would be inefficient and spew out unburnt fuel, and particles. Wouldn't like to be breathing the exhaust fumes.
-
The blake knot requires same (or similar) diameter friction cord as the climbing rope, so you shouldn't even consider 10/11 mm friction cord when climbing on 13 mm rope
-
Chainsaws are all about maximizing power to weight ratio. I don't think you'll find any 4-stroke chainsaws at all, due to the adde weight. Diesel engine would weigh twice as much, so I bet there won't be a diesel chainsaw, ever. Mind you, Stihl brought out the 4-mix engines for their brush cutters (FS 130/KM 130 - I've got them both). They are 4-stroke but running on fuel/oil mix. Better fuel economy and lower emissions, but higher weight. They may be forced down the 4-stroke road due to future emission regulations.
-
Yes, you could climb with just a doubled rope and a friction know. But when working with cutting tools (Silky or chainsaw) you must have a second support, so you don't fall if you accidentially cut one. If might be worth taking a look at this document http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/crr_pdf/2001/crr01402.pdf it may wet your appetite for arborist work, but don't go off trying out climbing with chainsaws until you've had your training (CS30/31/38/39)!

I have now placed an order for a similar green laser pointer (water proof) from a reportedly reputable webshop PowerCheck Laser: 25-30mW and 80-100mW Waterproof Green 532nm Laser - Detailed item view - OdicForce Lasers Online Shop Looking forward to receiving it

I paid via Credit Card (VISA) through PayPal, and assumed I was safe to claim my money back. But when making a claim with PayPal, I was told that they have a 45-day limitation on making a claims against a seller. The exact same delivery time I was given by the seller when asking for shipment details (coincidence? think not!) - and PayPal informed me that they would NOT take any action against the seller either. I guess they get their commision even on fraudulent charges I am fairly confident my £60 is lost. I just wish there was something I could do to have the xxx-xxxxxxxx.co.uk shop closed so they cannot continue their fraud.

The company claim to have a physical address, but it misspells "Glasgow" as "Glsagow" and the street address has no streed number, but is located in a residential area (checked Google Streetview). I have a feeling, it's a scam website set up from China, and that it isn't a UK-based entity at all. But the xxx-xxxxxxxx.co.uk website ought to be closed down. But I doubt the Trading Standards Committee will even touch a case where I can't even prove the identity of the business, or even that it IS a UK business.
-
Thanks, but they don't sell what I'm looking for. The products I'm after, a Romisen L-B030 Green Laser which is only sold by very few retailers in Europe.
-
They are selling (although not delivering), Green Laser Pointers, amongst many other things. I wanted a new one, since the green laser pointers are clearly visible in full daylight at a long distance. Great aid when pointing out reduction points with customers and groundsmen/climbers . I hope this does not reveal too much (forum rules), since a Google search of "laser pointer" combined with the postal code from my initial posting would reveal the website
-
Suggesting legal advice is only reasonable, or?
