  7. Right, i have drained the aspen out of the blower, refilled with petrol and stihl 2 stroke oil ( i have used this for years with no problems ) i have tuned carb and is now running well Not blaming the aspen in any way, i was just curios as to weather i had a bad batch I will run a few tanks through and then go back to aspen to see what happens I will update soon
  8. thats what i have, stuff the aspen, im going back to regular 2 stroke, never had any problems in 30 years with pump fuel

    large cc saws

    I know that the old stihl 090 was 137cc, but why no modern saws that big, stihl 088/880 husky 3120 and dolmar 166 were all 120 ish cc, modern tech, the newer saws would eat the old 090, in terms of speed ( maybe not torque tho ) i suppose weight comes into it ? Just thinking like !
  16. Put a longer bar and chain on the makita,
  17. Delphiniums still in full flower
  18. Thiose 181/281 have massive compression hey, dont blame you fitting the 288 pot
  19. I would say that is a 288 pot as it has a decompressor, 281 never had one as far as i know
  20. Wayfarer, planted many of these in hedgerows, bastard to get the spirals on tho without a bit of pruning !
  21. Might be a triggers broom by now mate ! if i find out anything i will let you know ( big County fan ) cheers

  24. Twin prop shafts to front wheels, so when rear diff lock is in true 4 wheel drive
  25. Lost my dad 2 years ago to cancer, lost my old mum in april this year also to cancer, they were 90 and 93, never easy, keep your chin up mate and remember the good times and be there for your dad Sending my regards Mike
