No, guy at the shop said with the less restrictive exhaust it was running lower, but higher with the stock exhaust after he had a go. Spud: i hope it does! I'll have a go tomorrow and see what it's like.

Installed this today and got it tuned. Tops out at around 12,800rpm, compared to the standard exhaust topping at 13,200 It seems like there's a lot more power available. Can't wait to cut some wood with it! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H4tBEMVhwM]YouTube - STIHL MS660 Dual Port Exhaust[/ame]

A nail driven firmly through the power button is a good fix for most problems. I would look on the keyboard, usually a FN button then somewhere else you press. Are you using a mouse with the laptop? There are settings to deactivate the touchpad when you plug in a mouse -
If I were making a list on how to kill yourself THAT would be at the top! What a tool!

For anyone thinking of making a chip box

You could go to b&q and pay £150 and get the materials to make it look like mine! It's high enough to nearly stand in. Makes a great rain shelter!

I've got a feeling a trip to the local saw boffins would probably save time and money if it went belly up! All this info is good for learning. My ear is not set so I would probably make a mistake!

The marks spread from passes to distinctions. I think it will be a high pass overall. Im happy I got through it anyway. The bridging modules are statistics and data handling. They were covered in the BSc course years one and two which overlapped a lot with the fd. I'm doing them both combined in 5 weeks! Ahh! Intense! I'll be heading for the BSc in arboriculture. In the long term im aiming to be in consultancy or running a successful firm. With maybe tree officer or teaching to fall back on as extra options. It's another year of even harder work. Still got no idea what to do my dissertation on!

As soon as I look at that picture my back aches from thinking of carrying all that firewood!

Found out today, got my results through from UCLAN and I have been awarded a foundation degree in arboriculture, in the process of bridging modules for the BSc so hopefully this time next year there will be another thread like this! Well pleased with myself. 2 years of work!
-
Thanks Geoff. I'll check it with the spark plug anyway. I'd rather have it running slightly rich so it gets more liquid in there!
-
I wouldn't bother with an osteo. My mum had a bad back for best part of a year and after numerous expensive osteopath visits, she went and got Bowen treatment, and was back to normal within 2 weeks! Look that up if you can!
-
Cheers. I've dropped on with my 260, runs brilliant and starts reliably. Just a little fiddle and it's been great for ages now. Ive bought a dual port muffler for the 660 so I'll have to richen it up a bit I think, there's a place nearby I could nip to if I'm unsure at all.

Those are old school ties. From about 5 years and 7 years ago now! I've got a pink one somewhere. I do like the idea of a homer tie though!
-
Oh yeah It's about £20 I think.
-
This thread is mainly for future reference, the screws on the carbs on stihl saws. Am I right that the h is for top end revs and the l is for rich/leanness? If I open up an exhaust on a saw and it needs richening, I turn the L screw up right? I'm a bit foggy with the details. Cheers!
-
My 660 is 2010 and came with the standard filter. Is it 2011 models that get special treatment then?

That too, the TO did look at my tree too and said I won't have to apply, I put it on a form with a few other trees anyway but phoned up as this ones got kretz and is unpredictable. What do you mean by history woodpicker? -
Experience is the best qualification. Other than that, b+e, 7.5t or more Hgv. More than cs38 and 39, everyone has those!

Apple have iOS 5 on their site now, iPhone 5 is sure to follow but nothing is certain till they say it is! I'm on O2 business unlimited texts, 1gb download, don't know how many minutes, 600 I think. More than enough! And some EU roaming package too!

She's got squarer shoulders than me! My abs hurt just watching that!

James @ Treeworker- Thank you!

I can see where you are coming from on that Hama, but the steel will eat chunks in the Ali. The best option would be a little cutaway sling, it would sit a bit lower but would be a lot less harmful to your shiny pinto! -
Good luck! I do aspire to get out there myself at some point!

If it's tpod and dangerous then couldn't you have called it dangerous to the TO and have it exempt from conditions? I did that to one today! And it looks in a much better condition than that. -
Nothing wrong there, the customer forgot the other guys, musnt have been memorable enough! i have followed up a few quotes before now and got the work, sometimes weeks later! small jobs its not as much of an issue, larger ones i try and push through, my higher price was chosen over another firm the other week because of my attitude when i quoted. Its not all down to your price!

That'll be my iPad showing the engelbert Strauss catalogue with the red pants! I had a feeling that would be picked up on, especially by eagle eyed Steve!
