You seen the pics just posted?? lol
-
the "marks" horizontal on the piston are the casting marks and how they come. however the other picture shows damage to the cylinder, pitting etc. imo wants to be sent back, its imo not worth fixing, might get shot down for that but i don't think it is.
-
time to send it back i'm afraid
-
where abouts are these ones? it'd be good to have a look
-
The stihl helmets arn't up to the job, rubbish ear defenders, wish i'd have got the husky one first time round!!
-
I just put in between 100ml and 125ml, ususally 125ml to 5 litres, swill container out with fuel to get all the oil out and away you go
-
i've sold a few saws and regretted it!! sold an 2001 044 for £160.00 sold a 024 for £100.00 and swapped a stihl ms390 for a strimmer once Gutted when i look back

sent you a pm
-
Husqvarna 350 is also a good saw
-
Hi there, Some people don't seem to understand that people cannot afford new sometimes.... Is there any reason that you picked the 029 saw? These are not a pro user saw, and these are a clam shell engine. An 026 would be better choice, plenty of spares out there, pro saw and within your budget of second hand
-
Such a shame Looked a nice job for you though, bet you had some fun
-
You need to remove the exhaust to check that the piston is not damaged etc as this would happen if no 2 stroke was in the fuel as no lubrication. Some chainsaw owners out there will not use stihl 2 stroke oil, so colour may vary if other oil is used. I hope the saw is ok for you and you have just possibly flooded it etc
-
Good job even if it was ages ago lol
-
Used to be 361 with 18" but now on 15", have 2 dead 034's i'm going to resurect at some point
-
So the little pumps you sometimes see on the saws next to the rear handle are for the user to pump extra oil into the system? even though it is an automatic oiler? cheers
-
Hey, are you copying me?? or am i copying you lol same saws with same bars
-

-

-
How do you get motivation though when your bored? lol I've been sat on the settee looking out the window over christmas and not at all interested in going outside some days
-
Yes i'm bored Just waiting for the phone to ring In the meanwhile, i've split all my wood i have (bar a little bit which will need a proper splitter when i purchase one) for next year, and just going through a big list of odd's and sods i have to do, might aswell
-

Not tried a husky, but i own a 441, i'm very pleased with it, was looking at either the stihl 460 or the 441, i went for the 441 due to low vibrations, i've also used a 460 and that was a very good saw too, 460 is an old tried tested design, the 441 is newer technology. I'm happy with the 441, but some don't rate it against the 460. 20" bar on the 441 is a good match, bit of a wuss on the 25" bar
