Why would it? With a simple muffler mod you are just opening up the restricted flow of gasses. Which will actually cool the pot & piston down

extra stress on the conrod/crank with faster acceleration i think was the excuse, to me it makes it more betterer an stuff..

they are a pain in the rs, the first time i filled one up it sheared off in my hand.. thankfully the local stihl dealer usually has a boxfull in stock..

used a makita for about 5yrs with a robin engine, never any probs, starts second pull everytime, treat it to a carb kit every year or so and it just keeps going.. unlike the stihl i bought new 12mth ago that takes up to 10pulls to get going and dies after ticking over for 30secs..(nice reach though)

someone once told me it might shorten the lifespan of the saw.. but who cares when its cutting fast..?

i use subbies a fair amount when needed, i'll take your number and keep it.. Ed.

sheesh, it broke opposite the gate..

looks like a bolette, i'll be shot down in a minute as a fungkicker by somebody who is funghugger no doubt.. are there any trees near it?

always worth modding for more performance, my 460 was a bit disapointing when new, but 3mths in i got the stihl exhaust mod minus the spark arrester and bigger dogs, the difference was amazing, revs up faster, cuts quicker and when started at 8am makes people really upset with the extra noise..

over ther its simple! you dont work ,you dont get any money ,so you starve ,that needs implamenting over here asap ,get them lazy chavs earning ther bread & butter:laugh1:

thought you were going to say 'its only got half a load in it'..

i have hired in loads of different machines but my tw190 beats them all, im well happy with it, could do with a removable tracked chassis to make it perfect..

extract of cypress? ..sap?

without the logs on board they would have been swept away.. wonder if that would work with vosa?

we like making as much noise as poss too, when the neighbours kids started yelling because chipper was ticking over after a bladechange i turned it up full rpm for 20mins haha, we had a vicar come out screaming when logging up for 4hrs with ms460.. he was soo mad, all red in the face.:thumbup:

by economy chapter 8 kit do you mean one mini roadcone without the sleeve? 2450kg

just over the hill the villages of thongsbridge, netherthong & upperthong.. well every part of a thong really..

whoa careful, your avatar is alight.. do you mean charging them for splitting the wood as well? i usually suggest i take away all the wood and then sell them some lovely seasoned wood instead..

not a bad reflection, you dont use them £5 hand job forecourts then?

only just read this thread, was thinking a santander was a lizard haha, i hate going into banks, supermarkets or even the town centre because you are expected to follow the dress code.. was in scotland a couple of months ago shopping for whiskey with my bro, we had just raced the dogs down the hill in 3ft snow and was a right state, the first whiskey shop suggested we went to the supermarket, then we found a decent shop and my bro spent £350 on a bottle with excellent service.. we did consider snowballing the guy in the first shop:thumbup:

extend the exhaust into a box full of roofing fluff, its heatproof and lets air through:thumbup1:

i have a beech stem to remove in the next 2wks, its 6ft diameter and about 8ft long before it splits into two stems, would this be any good for milling? if not im turning the lot into firewood..

cross dyke lane, never seen any angry lesbians there though, (halifax)

any chance of an unloaded pic? just want to see difference in ride height..

I work in an office, hence not practical.

 

1) Helped the lads load up a 20-25cm girth tree by hand, we could not lift it on the truck, it was pointed out, I was standing on the tail end of the rope wound around the rootball to assist lifting. I am not light.

 

2) A 21ft scaffold pole, scaffold clip at one end. waiting for a team to return late due to the M25, thought I would help by removing the clip. I lifted one end upto make the undoing of the clip easier. I achieved this, but as I did, the scaffold pole fell, onto my toe, in much pain I went home where my brother saw me take off my sock, blood was building up behind the nail, he said leave it to me I can sort this, he heated up a six inch nail, pierced the nail, blood hit the ceiling. Went to A&E cause it was still hurting, they said who did this (relieving the pressure), they could not believe it was a (non medically trained ) brother using a 6" nail. It was end of a shift, all of A & E came to see as well as all of the new shift. Went home, (with broken big toe) told by brother, he then revealed he had only ever read about it.

think your bro went overkill on that one.. we use 1mm drillbits heated up so hopefully sterilised and carefully drill just through the nail to relieve the pressure.

is the air filter clear? a blocked air filter means less air going in with the same amount of fuel, thats a rich mix to breathe in, blast it out with airline from inside with your eyes shut or wearing goggles.. might be worth cleaning the excess gunk off the plug too before you re-start it, wire brush and hold it in pliers over a flame.. Ed.

looking very nice, the paint on my car is so soft grass leaves a scratch, total crap and not like it used to be.

last time my paintwork was scratched by grass it was on its side on the motorway verge (not my fault). come on rob we need more piccies:thumbup:
