I also have a Fiskars X27 so can compare the two at some stage.

No, it came with it, it was just not finished very well.

Another find at the local antique/collectables/vintage shop. I noticed this, looked a bit too nice but on closer inspection, it turned out to be a Brades splitting axe, 5LB in weight. The handle had a coat of wood stain which I removed and used linseed oil on and looks to be hickory with a nice bit of shaping on it. The axe head had been removed and refitted upside down....no idea why people get it wrong - the flatter edge of the axe always goes to the top unless it is of a "Kent" design where there is no incorrect way as long as the mounting hole isn't tapered. I drilled out the original wedge, cleaned up the mount, smothered it with PVA and refitted with a home made ash wedge...nice tight fit. Looks pretty nice and oh, I forgot to mention the price.......£10!!

I once purchased a jerry can with a gallon of fuel in it, the fuel was worth £5 and I paid that sum for the can....work that one out

Sounds about right to me. Not particularly valuable to most. Model Profile: 08 WWW.ACRESINTERNET.COM

Does anyone run another business? Or not do tree work full time?
spudulike replied to Cordata's topic in Business Management
Yup, got to have a niche that other people aren't doing or aren't doing well. The old adage that if you turn a hobby you enjoy in to a job, it will never feel like work is very true. From my years fixing and tuning saws, I had very little local or countrywide competition that impacted on my business and the above was very true. -
Happy Christmas👍

Never seen a spark arrestor on a BG86. In my experience, purge/primer issues are usually sorted by working out which part isn't sucking, blowing or sealing....usually pretty frustrating little feckers at best. Testing with a Mityvac often helps me.
-
The cases haven't been split have they? It may be a crankcase locating dowel.
-
Usually only seen around church/cathedral spires around here being the tallest cliff like structures available. More likely sparrowhawk's in the average UK garden.

Turning the screws out further will richen the fuel delivery and, on the H screw, will drop the high speed revs a bit so, no, the adjustment will not damage the engine. You may like to look at the plug colour after an hour or two, it should be a tan colour on the end electrode.
-
These ones...yours does look a bit longer...oh er missus....
-
Looking at the parts list, it is possibly the location dowel that should fit in the crankcase, starter side, top right hand corner close to the screw hole. See if it is missing.

She bakes a fine cake, that I do know......I think it was a flapjack. Jon...try putting a pic up otherwise I haven't a clue

Man, that is a bad one
-
If the saw is holding decent revs in the cut but the chain is not spinning then the clutch is slipping. If this is the case, the clutch may not be opening up as it should or the shoes/drum may be worn...sometimes the friction surfaces wear unevenly. Probably best to strip the thing down and inspect it. If the saw is bogging in the cut then that may be a carb or engine issue.

That's him, I fixed up an 880 for him and went to the cash point with him to pay for the work, me in a pinstripe suit and him barefoot wearing a Stetson and dungarees....sort of amused me at the time....would have made a good pic!

They use similar to plug domestic drain pipes on sewers. Who was the fella that turns skittles on here? I met him once a long time ago, not sure if he could help. Based around the west outskirts of London I think, built like a brick s%it house.

Miss Scarlet, in the garden, with a chainsaw.....you could make a game out of this!

Someone, please shoot me....on the other hand.....shoot him!!!

Too much ash.

There was a bloke on here recently that swore that couldn't happen. It must have been a miracle....or he was a twat.....one of those ponderables!!

Definitely a scam, apologies, a dodgy Google news feed!!

Haven't heard that sort of language since my primary school days...spacky would have done.
