  1. Has anybody got the Orange gb bar on theirs? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. Cheers bud. Do you have the 150 bar on yours? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. Cheers Al, sounds good. Do you have the Stihl bar on it? Have you used an ms150? If so, how do you think they compare? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  4. How are folk finding these now they've had them for a while? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. A mate has a 150 that's gone through two plugs in a year, they just suddenly stopped working. Maybe mine is breaking down slower, I'll pop a new one in and see. Thanks chap. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  6. I've got an ms150 that's playing up a bit. It'll be fine one minute and then it'll run rough as though it's far to rich. The air filter is clean and I've had the carb of and apart and cleaned that up, but still the same. Any ideas? Also, sometimes it'll just cut out in the middle of a cut. I've checked the earth and it seems tight? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  7. Cheers for the info [emoji106]They do seem like a good bar, shame they won't do them here! Bet they'd be surprised how many they'd sell! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  8. Well it hasn't really helped! Maybe the flywheel has shifted a tad? Is the nut that side standard thread? Because I've ripped the last few elasto start handles clean off, it just has the cord going straight through with a washer on the end, I suppose that'll make the kick seem worse, but it is rather epic!

  9. Where did you get that bar from? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  10. Cool will try that tomorrow. Whilst you're here is there anything else it could be so I can have a look if that doesn't work? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  11. I do believe that gap should be the same as a business card? A have a few on the fridge but they are all different thicknesses, would spuds one be correct or a slightly thicker one? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. I run my 460 on a 25" with full skip and it's ace! I also like the fact it's twice as quick to sharpen. I do think it's strange the full skip has half the amount of cutters but is more expensive, I suppose because it's less common? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. Hello I've an Ms460 that kicks back real bad through the starter handle when starting. It doesn't happen every time, but does most of the time. I've pulled three handles off now and snapped the cord once. It's ok with the decomp but my 390xp is fine without, so was wondering if the could be something amiss? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  14. I heard about a study that showed that the best results with antidepressants were only 10% more effect than the placebo! It's fairly recently that science has discovered brain plasticity and the positive effect meditation/mindfulness does have. I'd say in years to come very few people will be popping pills anymore.

  15. Awesome, thank you very much [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  16. It's pretty amazing what it does to you. I've been meditating for quite a few years now and have reached some pretty amazing states. What I've found with the Wim Hof breathing is, if I do three rounds of it and then go straight into meditation, it's roughly the same as if I'd been meditating for around 50mins, but only takes about 15mins. There's been quite a lot of scientific tests done a folk that have done his method for four days and the results are very interesting! For a while I helped at the local buddhist centre with their meditation classes. The main thing that stuck out was that around 80% of the folk that came, came due to depression or stress, and over the 8 week course virtually all of them were transformed, some to the point where I could hardly recognise them. The ones that didn't seem to change had one thing in common, they didn't think they had the time to spend 20 mins a day meditating. It's amazing how much time meditation frees up in a day, which would usually be spent on pointless thinking [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. Hello dude, have a looksy on YouTube at vids about neuroplasticity and meditation. Think of the brain as a muscle, if you wanted bigger biceps, you'd lift weights and you'd defo get them, if you want to raise your baseline happiness, meditate and that will happen [emoji2] Also have a gander at the Wim Hof breathing method, it's pretty darn amazing [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. Same here most of the time on iPhone 5? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. It's a bit mad Spud, I got on really well with him before this and now he's just gone weird. One day I tried to ring him a few times and there was no answer so I rang from a mates phone and he picked up straight away, found out it was me, made some excuses and said he was sorting it, and then nothing! I notice on eBay he sells 3 bolts for £6, where as the pack of ten was only £7.20. I understand when he's just selling three on there but we came to the deal he would provide all the bolts for the same price as the other shop, but then kept them. There was an air baffle which he said he lost the first one so ordered another, then said he had it and was going to send it, but then I mentioned a refund for all the missing parts and that was it, he didn't send the baffle or give a refund! It's bonkers, he's as good as robbed me hasn't he!? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  20. It wasn't through eBay, which is a shame because there wouldn't be this trouble. His does look like the biggest dealer of genuine parts on eBay though but he dealt with me once through email when I was getting a part so he could save on eBay costs. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. Surely he is a dealer isn't he? The bolts that came were taped to part of a bit of paper which showed different categories of discount Stihl gives dealers. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. Hello there I was wondering what options I have when having trouble with a spare parts supplier? Before Christmas I needed some parts for one of my saws so I got a couple of prices. One was from a shop that's about an hour round trip away and the other from a chap who I'd dealt with before from eBay. The shop gave me a price with all parts listed, some of them were packs of ten screws, even though I only need a couple of each, but that was good because I like having spares. The eBay chap said he would match their price, and that included all the screws in the packs of ten because I made it clear I wanted them all. I ordered off him to save the trip to the shop to leave deposit and then having to go back to collect. It look ages for the parts to come through, about a month and when I received them, half were missing and he'd opened all the packs of ten, took a couple out and kept the rest. One of the things was a chain brake, two bushes and bolt to hold it on, which I payed for all for all of them, but it turned out the chain brake came with them all so that's all he sent. I phoned him to see what was going on and he said it was my fault for not realising the chain brake came with those parts, but the thing is he hasn't sent the extra bushes and bolts even though I've paid for them! I've asked him for a refund for the parts I've not received and he said he would look at it but every time I ring he just comes out with excuses why he hasn't. On one call he said it was all my fault and put the phone down on me. This has been going on two months now. What is there that I can do? Bit of a rant I suppose, which has been typed on my phone, so sorry if it's a load of gibberish! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. If someone asked me to climb that I'd have pretended to be deaf and rode off on my unicorn! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. No worries chap. Watch it in bits, there's a few eye openers in there. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  25. Hiya Paul, I saw this the other day and after reading the last while of your thread I thought it may interest you. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
