  5. if i have wrecked a chain i use an electric grinder for a quick sharpen i use a file guide but sometimes i find that after i use the electric grinder it hardens the cutter and the file just skites off and doesnt do nowt
  6. usually on diesels the power components are different between turbo and non turbo ie piston cooling nozzles ,camshaft , injectors , pistons ,valves ,fuel pump etc. its not usually power that kills an engine its rpm and too much heat you would be better to leave well alone or find another engine to fit
  7. translated this means the set up has a poor design the wheel should not have a big gap on the spigot it should be a snug fit:thumbup:
  8. i suppose i should drink more but im always tempted not to because when you are up in a tree its not to handy to come back down for the bog and its not always easy to piss from the top of a tree in a back garden when the neighbours are watching:001_rolleyes:

  10. why do i sometimes get cramps when i am climbing it can be a right pain in the **** and can be quite dangerous especially when you are a saw am i just getting old? somebody told me it was a lack of salt in my diet but i am scottish so my unhealthy diet of chips and diet irn-bru should have plenty:confused1:
  11. have a look on fleetgaurds website for prefilters and main filters these are what we use on industrial / plant engines and are usually very good at filtering out crap small engines are notorius for having marginal fuel filtration

  18. put a new chain on today kicked off the bar found the problem have a look see if you can find it
  19. i knowthat the 2 stroke mix is important but its the air/fuel mix i want to know about setting when you change the airflow in the engine:thumbup1:
  20. not the 2 stroke mixture the actual air / fuel mix . when an engine is tuned i would expect it to run faster under load ie because it has more power but how do you set the mixture for a tuned engine because you wouldnt have the same airflow as a standard engine so the normal setting that were in the manual wouldnt be relevant or would they:confused1:
  21. as the titlesays what do you need to do to increase the power output of a chainsaw and how do you know when the mixture is correct:confused1:
  22. do you use vented bags for your logs
