  2. yes can slow the engine back to tick over by a light touch so its not stuck, will check the bolt to see if it is loose, gonna put new spring on as well

    how do you reckon this will cope with a 36" bar, only going to be using it it for ringing up butts really and the odd big fell, compression is 180 psi on her so all seems good there, thoughts please, currently running 28" with no problems
  8. mower was working fine, went for a cup of tea,started mower back up and it raced its nuts off??, nothing stuck anywhere, govenor spring looked fine, any ideas , cheers

    stihl ms 180

    as above, cant get dads saw to idle, fires on choke, starts on half throttle but wont idle, tried all configurations with the idle screw,no other adjusment screw are fitted:confused1:
  10. thanks mate, the only thing i havent tried is pulling it over with throttle fully open, need to get the misses to hold her flat out for me, that seems to work with blowers etc wen they wont catch, the beer count is getting quite big now , lol, appreiciate all the advice you give, cheers mike
  11. plug is wet, not really wet tho, no backfiring
  12. used 268 for about an hour this morning ringing up some ash, got home about 2 hours later and it wouldnt start, got fuel,spark,cleaned the air filter, reset hi/lo, whipped exhaust off, all ok there, help!!!!!!!!!!
  13. they are about 7 quid each
  14. glad im not doing too much of that work at the moment, ground is bone dry and not going to get much better for a while
  15. youre right, but i think the yanks call it copper cremated arsenic
  16. its arsenic, cca =copper cremated arsenic
  17. forgot to mention strainers and struts, told you i havent done any for a while,go in with £5-£5.50 per metre
  18. was gonna say that, lovely hinge there
  19. no worries, im in hampshire, hope you get the job
  20. posts every 2.4 meters allow £4.00 each,50m of stock wire is near £50 a go now, box of staples is £30.00 so just over £4800 in material, leaves you £2350 for labour, yeah id go £4.50 per metre
  21. its 111 cc i think but not as fast as new saws as already mentioned, should have a decomp and manual oiler too
  22. no worries mate, def think about the chain brake, my brother in law used to use one on the estate many moons ago, pretty much unstoppable even with a 30 inch bar on her
  23. havent done any for a while, but i reckon you should be looking at £4.00 per metre supplied and erected, i was charging £3.00 per metre 7 years ago and got most jobs i quoted
  24. i remember me and my mate ringing up a huge sycamore but , 395 and 371 next to each other, stopped to refill the saws and noticed a very annoyed neihbour having quiet drinks in the garden with some very posh friends...oops
  25. thanks, will be left for the wildlife to live in then, bet the beetles will love it
