Hi all, I'm after a new 18g air nailer/stapler to replace my old one. Ideally i would like one with a soft no mark tip, but dont seem to find any. I am thinking about this one from machine mart https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-csn1d-2-in-1-air-staple-and-nail-gun-ki Unless anyone has any better ideas:001_smile: Cheers Harvey.

Hi all, Its a 2 stroke variant about 5 years old. Roughly the same model as b&q are now selling for about £90. Its just i hate not knowing what is wrong and how to fix it. I have tried starting with the choke on, but the machine just stubbornly refuses to start. Spud, i only have a basic kit, looks like im going to have to invest in some gear if i'm going to be any good at repairing stuff. Where/what is the best place to start for a compression tester and is there owt else i need to start looking out for, to add to a basic kit. cheers.

Hi, i need help with rectifying the same problem with 2 ryobi strimmers. The problem is that they both start fine from cold, but refuse to start when hot. I know they are only ryobi but they are only used to strim the allotments etc, so they are ok for what they are used for. However, when starting from scratch they start and run ok. But if you switch off after 10 /15 mins say, they just refuse to start again until sufficent time has passed for them to cool down. Any ideas ? cheers H.

cheers aspen, i dont use that much so i just mix 5ltr at a time. I will try this synthetic oil this time round, now i have bought it. Problem is, i use the same fuel in saws and strimmers alike, so i will see if there is any difference.
-
well i'm truly lost. I've just got some carlube fully synthetic jaso fc oil. I will try that.
-
I use carlube 2 stroke, it says jaso fb on the back. I take it this is not what you would recomend. They did have an orange one that said jaso fd. so which one is best and why. ( i do run dolmar / maks by the way )

No idea on the efco, but as said previously, the husqy is a capable little saw, my dad has one. But personally i prefer the makita / dolmar saw. -

My dad has a husqy 135, its a very capable little saw. However i am awaiting an arrival of a little dolmar 350, from shavey off here, another capable little saw. -
Yep, i saw that on countryfile. I wondered who had carved it. Bloody brilliant.
-
Hi teed, and welcome to the forum, it looks a gentile and picturesq place to live.
-
For me, i understand that some saws are better than others, in more ways than one. But, for me as long as the tool in question does the job that is required of it, then it is good enough for me, regardless of what price tag, name, colour, engine size or fancy things that come with it. People are just too hung up on names, colours, etc imo.

Land Rover 101 still earning its keep!!
harvey b davison replied to Scott Farmborough's topic in Arb-Trucks
Nice, thats a tidy looking setup. Whats the payload on a 101 -
:thumbup: No worries spud, i'm completely out of my depth and frustrated as well. Dont know what to do, trade it in or send it to you ( if thats possible )

I like that, and like the look of the office as well.

Ok, i have changed the spark plug, and i believe it has made a small difference. However after a few minutes reving, it still starts to sort of miss and sound like an automatic gun going off, also this time i have noticed the front top cover plastic getting extremely hot. Could this just be a damaged gaskit between exhaust and manifold. Also how do i find the correct settings for the 'H', 'L' and 'I' screws. I have looked/ felt at the flywheel ( not removed it, no tools ) and it doesnt seem damaged/ slipped, what am i meant to look at. Getting frustrated with myself for not knowing what to do now. Thanks
-
Cheers spud. I am going to try a new spark plug first and see if that makes any difference. Then it will of had a new plug and new coil. I seem to be getting in deeper and deeper without a clue of what im doing,but if its the only way to learn !!!!!!

Cheers barry, How do i check the fly wheel, dont forget i am a total novice at this.
