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

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.

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
