    Got some big lumps of mahogany that you could look at. Kev I bought it from a man in colchester who had been storing it for 10 plus years

    I've got an alaskan you can borrow (if you leave a deposit or something), and do it yourself? I'm in Coulsdon. Kev

    Ispent a few minutes in thy dry cleaning the cap and then looking at how it actually "fits" my problem was mostly caused by trying to get it on in heavy rain when I was soaking and fed up!! Amazing how easy a bit of sunshine makes things

    Hi, Managed to get the 034 working much better and idling perfectly... I just adjusted the idle settings, and within 2 minutes it was running much more "smoothly" while idling and restarted easily when warm. The replacement cap also seems to be much easier to "lock" down, I spent 10 minutes in the dry trying loads of different ways of putting both old and new on, and it does feel like there was something wrong with the old one.... but maybe thats just me wishful thinking!! I don't think I was lining it up right. Again thanks for the help. Kev

    thanks for the replies.... I don't fill it up (generally only 3/4 full with chain oil), i've had it since new and its always been difficult (the petrol cap isnt)... i've just bought a spare cap to see if that works (only a few quid). the 034 runs fine but when you finish cutting with it and put it down then it will just cut out after a short while (20 seconds ish), does'nt stall ever when in use. No odd sounds or anything else.... you can hear it slowly "give up" rather than dieing suddenly (like when you hit the kill switch). Kev

    Has anyone got any ideas on the chain oil filler cap on a 181? I just can't get mine to fit without 10 minutes of pain... Is this a design fault or is it that my cap is buggered? the lift up "tab" turns insidethe cap and won't lock down. Trying to shut it last night in the pissing rain, I'm tempted to sell the saw and buy something else... Also I've got an 034 that won't idle - it runs ok for 5 minutes and then will just die and wont restart. It works fine when you use it (revs up, loads of power) but as soon as I put it down and it idles for a couple of minutes it just dies. I've not tried anything yet but I was going to up the idle speed a bit using the LA screw (until the chain runs then back off a quarter turn). Good, bad or ugly advice welcomed! Thanks in advance!

    Make sure you get paid regardless of the sale of the wood... You almost need this in writing in the quote based on what you have said. Kev

    slighlty off topic but when I needed one I ended up hiring a minidigger which was cheaper... You'd get a micro digger down a 32 inch walkway. Kev

    Congrats! We've got 2, 2yrs and 8months! Hope you've got a sleeper there. I was up with our young one for games and partying from 3-5 am on Friday night! After you get to the point where they def are not going back to sleep it's lovely1-2-1 time! Kev

    From my basic knowledge it does sound like fuel, but because it was cutting fine on same fuel before maybe some issue with delivery of fuel into cylinder. Kev

    Hi Hannah, Can you post up some of the course details? Full time/part time, duration costs etc? I might be interested if it can be done part time? Kevin

    If you want cheap railway sleepers call mark at sevenoaks sleepers (google will find the details). He's cheap and a good supplier. Kev

    I was qted £80 for a day's hire (in south london) and it weighed 110kgs. So I hired a 1.5 ton mini digger for £85 which made light work of getting the roots out completely. Kev

    Ive got some mahogany spare would need milling but its in 13ft - 13inch by 7inch timbers. kev

    Hi, I bought it from a chap in clacton who has had it in his garden for about 10 years. He bought it from someone who imported it from s america a few years before that. Its a lovely red timber, faded on the outsides. Very hard and difficult to cut. I also have some (what are definately) mahogany railway sleepers from brazil that are slightly redder and pretty battered. but look great. I'll take some photos of the work so far and the offcuts so you can see the colours. I don't have the time to flog it and swap with some thing else - I was looking at azobe or jarrah sleepers to do the garden with but they were going to cost quite a bit more. I've found someone fairly local with a mobile mizer whos quoted me a reasonable rate so I'm going to book him in to chop it up once I know what is left over. Thanks, Kev
