Quelle Surprise!

Here is the latest "toy". Have to say I am enjoying it but not sure the neighbours concur! The neck is a work of art!

Solenoid!

One fella at my school had some Italian thing called a Gitane, that would pull 70mph and was 50cc. A little bit hot that bike was!

Not sure if I am preaching to the converted but have found a tab site called Songsterr where you can listen to the tab as it plays, helps you with timing and knowing which part of the song you are playing.

He is a big fella so wouldn't take the proverbial out of him....unless you fancy being beaten with a skittle!

The Ibanez necks are 43mm on the nut, flatter and thinner than most so tend to be comfortable and fast. Just got the S970, nice bit of kit.

No idea what you are talking about but certain mistakes in written English do grate....or is that great?

I would start with learning English, the thread should read "their English" and not "there English"?

Most carbs don't need US cleaning but the ones that still play up after a GOOD overhaul can often be cured with a good boil in a US tank.

LGBT, is that something like a BLT?

Er - most MS200s that come in to me have a chain brake so full of shyte that slows down the action, can break the return spring and eventually causes the brake band to rub on the drum, especially if the bands seats are also soiled. The brake band can be checked for wear before it breaks. If it is typically under 0.75mm thickness when originally 1mm thick, it needs replacing. Wear in various components can be found by actuating the brake from the right side nearest the drum and then on the extreme end of the brake guard to make sure it actuates as it should. Makita 7900s had an issue with this as do some MS201s and others. You can of course leave it and only find out it is shagged when it hits you on the head up a tree Sorry, I don't mean to get at you but I just hate safety devices not being looked after especially brakes and chain catchers....nothing personal but just putting things right as they should be for the record!

excepted should be accepted Excepted is to be excluded, accepted is to accept or to approve whatever is being discussed!

The thing is, I don't need it, looking at taking it easy after the last few months I have had!

Yeah yeah...some of our spelling and use of the Queens language is pretty suspect at the best of times!

So whipping the covers off and cleaning the covers and engine, cleaning the outside of the saw, checking the sprocket rim, making sure the tank is clear of chip, the chain brake works and that nothing is falling off isn't worthwhile? I get fed up with getting saws in that are shagged, knackered, unloved and generally buggered with the owner thinking all it needs is a port job and this will make up for 5 years lack of maintenance. I think some owners should wake up and realise that these tools make their living and a little TLC is needed on a regular basis!

Being serious....I did complain when the "C" word was being used a bit too liberally.....oh, and it wasn't "Cod" on some of the fish based threads.

Glad it is sorted, we are always interested in what the issue ended up being just to double check how good we actually are. Carb issues make up around 75% of the issues saws tend to have when not running or running badly.

Feck off

Ive mullet this over and halibut to say it is cods...wallop...Oh yea...pollocks some may say!

It is like waking up and finding someone has pinched your undercrackers!

Got it back, I can sleep tonight!

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
