  1. if you put any flyers out to houses,just make sure they got a chimney:thumbup: & as for green wood,i personally think that alot of green wood will be sold this year as supply & demand is higher,if its green or got more moisture content than it really should,just be honest & truthfull with your costumers,honesty will get you repeat sales..

  7. thats a good price for the recoil,think you will struggle to find the plastic m8,i'd try & find that first before you spend on it,might be worth trying to buy a complete saw thats dead
  8. couldnt agree more,chainsaws are probably the most dangerous tool you will ever use & people do take them for granted,thanks for the information saved me some pennys
  9. i take there no good then:lol: we all know its down to the saw operator too,i was just looking at these chains & thought if they were any good then i would try one.anything that can help towards safety is a plus, isnt it?
  10. has anyone tryed the low kick back chains,i have some old saws no chain brake etc,which i do like to run & cut now & again.would these chains be of use to me ?? any feedback would be great.
  11. i think you are overpaid only joking just put up with it m8 for your training,you got to think how much your going to earn the guy,i'd just bite the bullet & think of the rewards when you pass,its not as if you are going to work for this guy fulltime & think in the future you might be the one training guys would you pay top bucks to someone on work experience? dont want to sound harsh but we've all been there,just make sure you do well all the best:thumbup:

  19. whats the 1% doing as an old stihl when hot & stalls can be very hard to start (3-4 pulls is pretty good on restart),adjust the idle screw a tad it must be warm to do this,the idle screw is the brass one on the side of the carb turn it in very slightly it will alter idle speed to stop engine stalling .try this & if no joy let me know good luck
