    268 update

    Right , checked flywheel key, all good there,checked for needle leak,all good there, leave the saw over night and there is fuel everywhere,took diapragm off and it seemed to be stuck down,thus keeping needle open?this is a new carb kit,could it be faulty?
  6. had a 15 inch oregon snap on me,but was probably due to inexperience many years ago,only damage was brother in law wondering why i had only cut one tree to his 10!!
  7. motivation and drive went out the window when the misses came in with a 4 pack of stella and a 5 pack of hamlet..ahhh

  14. if you filled crankcase up with fuel,could this be a method to test crank seals, ie if it leaks out over say 12 hours? or is it more of a pressure issue??
