Damn, cyber theft
-
See yours is looking fine

It was a pic of my trusty 357xp and now it has vanished. It was a pic I had uploaded to make it my personalised Avatar rather than one I had got from cyberspace to make me look good. And it is raining

Probably cocked up on fuel pipe diameter or wrong grommet. Got to be one or the other!
-
Mines gone, not fair, think I may have to sue....bloody flippin heck and bugger, where has the little thingy gone? Not liking this one little bit
-
Where has me bloody avatar gone....flippin heck!!!!!!

Get used to it, it pisses me off when people squeeze decent info gleaned from years of experience, fix their issue and then piss off on to the distance with no thanks, happy in their ignorance but that is life and seems to be the norm, no thanks, no lump of cake, no beers, no bloody decorum. The OP will probably come back now pissing on my fireworks.....what a life, laugh at it and it will laugh back! Smile, it is the weekend

Most likely the grommet has shrunk, like the other bloke said, pressurising the tank and putting a bit of bubbly water around the union will soon find the leak.

Back releife and musle flexablity
spudulike replied to Aaron Johnstone's topic in Training & education
Your spine is like a pile of Jenga blocks, all wibbly wobbly and held in place with muscle, cartilage, tendons and the like. You need to improve your core muscles and you will notice a big difference. Sit-ups, planks and the like will help you. My back used to get really bad just standing at a bench all day, started doing sit-ups and within a few weeks, it was sorted. I haven't had the sharp excruciating pain I used to get in many years and it just gets a little tight if I have really pushed it. Just keep those exercises going and overall physical fitness doesn't mean your core is strong! -
We have Dragon Trees in the UK, around a foot high and an indoor plant!

Never seen a post with so many nipples in it!
-
You can keep the 020.....just down to the fact you have to dismantle the whole machine to get to the carb and that makes them the spawn of the devil! 340 - nice saw, good AV and the 024 should be nice when done. Make the 031 in to a coffee table!
-
Allegedly, we may find out soon
-
I need to Mullet over, do a bit of Sole searching, don't want to Flounder on this one!
-
And it isn't even Friday!!!

L&S list some parts as out of stock but they will order it in from their supplier when you order it so it may take 1-3 days longer but they do chase and follow it up - been a good supplier to my business!

Worked in a tannery as a summer job, the fat got cut off the skins, heads and hoofs in steel drums, rock salt on the skins and then folded on to pallets. The stench in he summer heat was unbearable, everything got washed on a daily basis as it stunk. I did get £70 a week back in the late 70s which was decent money in those days!

That beast in your Avatar looks a bit like Boris Johnson to me.....some sort of Alpaca?
-
Yup, dealers won't use this method but have had saws fixed like this last years of professional abuse so there you go. Try to avoid rubbing up and down the bore in one small area as you can produce a slight cavity in the bore that will lose you compression if above the exhaust port. Going around the bore is better as it will allow the piston to bed in on the slightly rough bore surface.
-
Yes - nipped up means a slight seize but enough to run afterwards. Etch means chemical removal, aluminium transfer can be oxidised and therefore chemically removed with acid or alkalie as both will work. You basically apply the chemical, the aluminium goes black, you abrade the black oxide away and repeat until the bore is clean.
-
Looks like it has nipped up so fuel, air leak, carb settings need to be checked. I would etch and abrade that transfer away, lightly hone and then fit a new piston, may be a bit hobsons choice on the piston but see what you can get.

Cheers, a £150 chainsaw with an iffy condition - that gives me loads of options
-
I always thought a 30hp Rotax kart engine may be interesting on a saw! Sounds so much better than 10hp
-
Just looked at your listing, I would have started it at £1 on a ten day listing ending on Sunday night around 8pm, you would haul in a lot of interest that way! See your not far from me in Northampton!
-
Probably got a single fuel line and separate breather plus one of those earlier carbs where the H&L screw are further away from each other but without the pump. Should be a good saw for someone, hope the sale works out. Looks tidier than many that come my way!
