    Sick transit

    it did feel like it had lost compression tbh, kept going till i dipped the clutch
  2. 3 pins,for instance, driven in slightly angled,(in a line) strop from top of pin to bottom of next one,etc etc,very effective, then you can add pins and strops for extra anchorage

    wonder what the new ones are like, now they are made out of turkey,i mean in turkey lol
  4. yeah those 281's have massive compression, i used to run a 2101xp that was easy to start compared to a 281xp
  5. Great bits of kit, the 32 is a lump ,used a mates to pull a nasty old oak that had split,not recommended but have a bit of scaffold tube for extra pulling power lol, and dont use the hook back around the cable,use a strop etc (grandmother and eggs) Buy one !

    cheers for replies,its down the garage now but they cant look at it till tomorrow, ive got it dead and buried but hopefully its curable for not too many pennies
  8. Transit 2.2 08 plate died on me today. lost power and when i stopped and dipped clutch it died and wouldnt start again.no warning lights on dash. was making strange droning sound as it lost power Anyone else had same problem ? cheers
  9. i still use a husky 288xp, parts are readily available
  10. All the best with your new venture steve, well deserved i reckon, always ready with advice and tips, will book my 371 in soon for some magic ! cheers
  11. yep, thats what i started with,but in white with rear light guards , dont you know:thumbup:
  12. dont forget the obvious ! good water supply ?maybe pump is too fast for water flow ? just a thought
  13. b+s 675 i think
  14. have a look at the lawnflite lf48, i have one stationed at a property, does 2.5 hours a week,£499 i think, rear roller tho
  15. im a husky/jonsered man for saws,but prefer stihl for hedge cutters and blowers,its all about personal choice really, all are good/bad in their own right,see if you can have a try with the big dolmar and the echo before you buy,i think you would be more than pleased with either
  16. heavy but solidly built,not the fastest saw but tons of torque,no prob with a 28" i used to run mine on a 30, but get a sprocket nose bar for it
  17. like this a lot, top job there mate
  18. binned my 153 when i couldnt get parts,gutted such a good saw,i also had a stihl duro bar on mine,just had to drill adjuster holes out a bit
  19. as above,ending tonight:thumbup:
  20. if it was a business venture,what would the rate be ?no petrol tools, just looking after beds/borders/pots etc, im thinking about taking on extra help with these things,a good knowledge of plants/flowers etc
  21. Nice !
  22. is the file biting into the tooth, you should feel it bite in, if you have hit a flint etc it will really harden the cutting edge and make it hard to sharpen, as others have said put a grinder on it or get your local shop to do it then use file next time you sharpen
  23. corona !

    Saw tuning

    that 395 not fast enough for you ???? lol
