not sure where the main jet check valve is.... still not idling, plus the recoil spring went the other day whilst playing so had to get a fresh one when the strimmer dies i have to either use primer bulb or choke to start it again......

i have a problem with my stihl fs400 strimmer..... i can't get it to idle at all!!! It runs and rev's ok but will just not idle The carb is a single screw adjustment one, have tried it every configuration possible I have tried a new carb kit in it and have tried new fuel pipe's and fuel primer yesterday to no avail Going to strip the carb and clean again but clutching at straws Piston and cylinder are ok, new plug What am i missing??

I see nothing wrong there skyhuck

sorry nothing technical, just don't like the fact its gone bigger and p[ossibly heavier..... just going off looking at the photo comparison..... i got a new 200t in september so it'll last a while yet

I don't like it

that would then leave a bit gap behind the anvil for stuff to fall down....or get stuck etc when feeding, did you experiance this or was all ok?? cheers Chris

Afternoon Just wondering if anyone can tell me the measurement for between the blades and the anvil on my little vermeer please?? Thanks very much

how long do you need a climber for? Cheers

will do thankyou

the beech is at the side of the canal and goes over the footpath and over the canal with some branches, it has a little silver round tag on also which i suppose means is tree preserved Do people not go round checking the public tree's etc for safety??

Evening all I'm new to all this fungus etc and want to further my tree health and theoretical side of arb so please bear with me Spotted these on a sycamore: http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey052.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey053.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey054.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey055.jpg Seen these on a horse chesnut: http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey040.jpg Is the above included bark where the 2 stems meet? therefore possability it may shed one of the stems? http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey041.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey044.jpg leaves don't look too well at all (not sure if you can tell from the pic) http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey045.jpg Also seen this on a more mature h/c http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey048.jpg Does this look like pyrotophra? bleeding canker? (as i said go easy, i'm a beginner) Also spotted all these brackets on a big beech! have plenty more pics but they take ages to upload!! Plenty of ouzzing and the brackets are all around the base of the tree. What effect will these be having on the tree? http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey086.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey083.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey089.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey091.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey092.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey093.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey094.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/kilnsey095.jpg its amazing what you see when you take the camera and have a real look!! I'll get a few books (can anyone reccomend any? both tree health and fungus ident) and come at least half armed with geusses as to what they are next time lol cheers chris

thats what i wanted to hear

my 064av appears to have a fresh piston and cylinder on aswell before you think its old and tired oregon 36" bars look cheap but thats pushing it

Afternoon all, Just wondering if the 064av can handle a 30" bar? Its good with the 25" just wondering on thoughts on the 30" or for a 30" bar would you go for a bigger saw? obvioursly 30" + you would go for a bigger saw cheers

Is that one man cutting and one chipping? Also ringing the wood up and removal and to clean the site also? your quick workers

customer wants to leave it as it is till the phone company can come and see it......

WELL NEWS FLASH: It dropped the limb earlier this morning or late last night..... pics to come it took both lines with it, limb still attatched to the tree

customer would most likely refuse to pay and say its only been half done, i appreciate what you say but come and tell this chap that

this job? or a previous one??

you can be competetive on price..... i never brag about my abilities..... the person i sub for can decide on the day just keep at it and do a better job than the others!!

you know him then lol, he's a strange one i must admit....... not keen on working for him but work is work....... have you been asked to look or just know him?

not really my client but i've been asked to do the job..... the client isn't too keen on parting with brass if you get me..... like you say.... if it shed a limb a while back it wanted attention..... it would have probabilly been cleared up and then tree left as it is....

wires deffo not holding it up just don't want the wires coming down with the limb if i'm on it as it'll be me that has to pay for it! that feeds a few houses for telephone etc..... can i go in and do it even if its preserved (not sure if it is just working with the fact it may be... but doubtful)

Afternoon all, I've been round and been asked to quote for removing a large damaged limb off an ash tree..... The limb is about 16-18 inch diameter and runs about 40 foot...... around 6 foot from the trunk there is a split/large crack that runs 8 foot this tree is on the side of a private drive..... it over hangs the drive and also there are 2 wires running through where the cracked limb over hangs.... one wire is telephone and the other is a black thicker one which i suspect to be electric... my electrician friend is going to have a look tomorrow.... If it is power, it will need to be dropped? who buy and roughly the costs The owner of the house says the tree isn't preserved but i do not take customers word for this but the council's are shut till tuesday.... few pics: http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/HITCHCLIMBER017.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/HITCHCLIMBER018.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/HITCHCLIMBER015.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/HITCHCLIMBER016.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/HITCHCLIMBER014.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/HITCHCLIMBER019.jpg the tree has been cracked for the last 2 weeks or so.... if protected can i remove the limb due to being dangerous.... needs to be done really as people walk dogs etc and there is a school at the other side of the field 400 yards any tips etc I was planning on anchoring in high then walking out, keeping wires held back (if not electric) and knocking the end off in bits, then piecing it back in..... Any other opinions/help?? Cheers Chris
