slippery

found this, so it's not the first time its happened; http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/65733-sthil-ms170.html I put less and then more oil in the mix to see if it made any difference (it didnt) The mesh is fixed to the exhaust assembly, it doesn't appear to be blocked in any way. I will try change the spark plug....

Can anyone tell me why my ms170 is belching fire out of the exhaust? I have changed the fuel ratio, but doesn't seem to make a difference. The mesh over the exhaust is glowing and a jet of fire, perhaps 60mm cones out when it's been running a few minutes, any one know what's up?

thanks guys. If you ever need to know anything about buiding or joinery....

pictures were taken today, was thinking it would be easier in about two weeks! I don't think it's pear goaty, but I may be wrong

Thats what i was thinking, well along those lines, (damson)thanks stumpgrinder

Do you think this is safe to cut the roots all down one side when it has such a large sail? The building side of the problem is that we will have to dig down up to 3 meters to cast the footings, this brings in loads of problems and may even cause the customer to abandon the project is the costs are too great. Iv'e been in discussion with Building control and the first thing we need to establish is the species as this is needed for their calculations. Even if they can persuade their neighbours to cut it back or down, there are still lots of problems. Cheers for your help guys !

last time i bought a "cube", I was astonished at how little I got for £145 !, especially as when I stacked it, it only measured .6 of a meter! I complained and the bloke brought me some more but it was wet. He saide that the back of his truck was a cubic meter, I told him that I thought a cubic meter should really occupy well over a metre space but he he wasn't impressed. Suffice to say it was the LAST firewood I ever bought!, Now if I run low, I go to builders merchants and get pallets or scrap

yeah we got one but it is a long, boring,cold and smelly process, you can't help thinking you could have cut and split loads of timber in the same time, and it would burn properly!

want a good load of large logs delivered, ready to burn, will pay cash for right amount. also looking for a good load of wet stuff for next season contact chris 07811613562

ah, sorry guys, i don't have anything to do with the festival except buying a ticket, you will have to do the research yourself:001_tongue: good luck!!

at farmer phils festival, 13- 15 august " We are currently searching for a wood supplier for the event so watch this space for more details. You can buy wood at the Texico filling station in Bishops Castle '11 miles'." Home - Farmer Phil's Music Festival Shropshire UK camping is permitted for a week so this could be a lucrative event, just buy me a beer if you get the job ;.]
