cheers mate:thumbup1:

c clips are fine as far as i can tell,no offence taken, its always good to have other opinions, the simple things are often overlooked, had similar problem with 266 many moons back,i think that was clutch springs, im gonna pull it apart tomorrow so ill let you know how i get on, thanks for the info
-
yes c clip spring, chain tight, adjusted tick over, never had any problems setting saws up before,
-
hmm, thanks mate, was working fine the last time i used it, so reckon gunged up internals might be the problem
-
i got my 340 out of the shed today and fired her up, and the chain will not stop running on idle. ive adjusted the hi and lo screws properly 1 and 1 and a quarter but cannot get the chain to stop running. turned idle screw down to its lowest possible setting without the saw stalling. Any ideas, i can do my all my other equipment ok but this 340 has got me, thought id ask on here before i take it to the shop cheers mike
-
can you engage 4x4 on the move or does the vehicle have to be stationary??
-
im near southampton, need to know correct 4x4 operation, service intervals, etc, picking truck up next week, it has no handbook, and cant seem to find one anywhere, any help would be great, mike
-
does anyone have an owners manual for ford ranger 03 reg, that i could buy, borrow, what have you? cheers in advance mike
-
husky 245 0r 250, great tools, although my 240 goes through anything that you put in front of it,runs for about an hour and 15 minites flat out with the lines on in heavy stuff so might be worth a look
-
yeah , used my mates 170 for cutting sleepers etc, no probs, ate through them, think this saw could be a duffy one, dont want to mess with it incase it has to go back to dealer and messes warrenty up
-
think i might tho lol
-
first cut into new sleeper and it died, so chain is sharp?? these are not old sleepers, they are new softwood 2.4x125x200 mm sleepers for retaining walls etc, so no crap in them!?
-
no new sleepers, chain tension is fine, 2010 stamped on chain brake handle so not old stock!
-
bought a new ms 170 for cutting new sleepers and topping posts etc, but dies when any load is put on it, runs ok flat out with no load?? any ideas apart from taking it back to dealer, cheers
-
govenor spring most likely if you ran it into a hedge
-
anyone have a big jonsered for sale, 65-80 cc,willing to spend about £200 maybe a bit more for the right saw.
-
Do any of you put your rates up yearly and if so how much?2% 3% etc or more on particular jobs?? Cheers mike
-
cheers mate, ill give that a go
-
is that a moheda trailer??
-
my husky 323 has started playing up, it wont rev past about half way, i have stripped and cleaned the carb, with no obvious signs of damage to gaskets etc, new plug and fuel, the high adjustment screw will only let you turn it half a turn, have gone right through it adjusting lo screw, but seems to die at half throttle or above??? any ideas, cheers
-
153 mate with 30" stihl duromatic bar, had to drill the adjuster holes out a tad to get it to fit.ps, thats the wife in the picture, not me
-
Had some problems with the drive on my 48 pro, so thought i would have a go at fixing it myself, looked a bit daunting to start with but i took the whole drive assembly and front wheels off and found the chain case had a whole in it, which has let loads of grass, muck and stuff in, cleaned it all up, repaired the case and refitted it , jobs a good un,worth having a go yourself i think, repair shop would of charged a fair bit for that i reckon, cost me 2 pop rivets and some araldite, although chain case is only about 12 quid but labour would have been a oner i expect, cheers mike
-
cool, very nice, yeah definately include landline:thumbup1:
-
i run a 28" on my 371 no problems, so reckon the 390 will be ok with 36"
-
cheers mate, yeah running 2 hayters, 2 strimmers, 2 of everything really, transit, oil , fuel, strimmer line etc, all adds up dont it, reckon im on about 4 quid an hour, lol
