  1. Sounds like the coil is buggered if the flywheel key is intact and the flywheel and gap are OK. I tend to swerve AM coils as they are hit and miss! It doesn't sound like this one will run as it is, not if it is backfiring. I could tell you how to measure the ignition timing but would get a virtual glaze of the eyes and send everyone to bed early!
  2. Better be OK for burning, got half a log store full of it for next year!
  3. Nope, it is the German way of saying AV mount. Not sure I will take up the description of Ring Puffer in my business, may attract some undesirables......there again, I get all sorts knocking on my door By the way....what is a butt plug some sort of gardening implement?
  4. but not a - gigot d'agneau that wouldn't fit!

    560xp problem

    13,500rpm Max on that saw, would try 12,000 - 12,500rpm until it is bedded in a bit and then up it to 13,000. It will speed up as the cylinder and bearings run in so keep an eye on it.
  6. It is an Annular Buffer or Ring Puffer in German.....better not ask for one of those eh
  7. Part 1135 791 2800 or you could try asking for a Butoir annulaire

    560xp problem

    And don't I know it, nothing changes, dunk it in the village pond 20 times, drag it through the local pile of cow shyte and then.....give it to Steve On the Hutzl - rev it flat out, turn the H screw out until it sounds really flubby and turn in until your trained earreckons it sounds about right - don't use a hammer

    560xp problem

    And so it goes on.....thought I had said goodbye to his saws when he moved well up north but the bugger still sends them in Not seen the Hutzl 660 yet though!
  10. That's good, glad it is still putting in the work!
  11. Good, glad it worked out. Is that 660 still bopping - that was a few years ago!
  12. TBH, the cost of doing the work probably outweighs the advantage and will be a large percentage of the new cost of the blower. The Echo blower probably has a CAT in the exhaust, drill it to bypass the CAT and retune the carb - should get it going better.
  13. Widened the ports, dropped the base gasket and opened the muffler a bit - didn't want it too loud, neighbours wouldn't like it!!
  14. Up until a few weeks ago, the ignition timing was wrong so not well but got it set to 30 degrees and should go a lot better now. Carb tuning is weird and think the expansion has had a fair bit of effect but need a big lump of timber to try it on now!
  15. No, not yet but it is about the loudest saw you are likely to hear.
  16. Yup, one of three I got from a local gardener, all non runners, fixed all three, sold two and ported one for me. The strimmer also has a muffler mod
  17. Yes, my own BG85, goes like a good one and has plenty more clout than standard
  18. Some mate - holding a party and not inviting you
  19. The older I get, the less I know who these "famous" people are and what the feck is TOWIE??? Some sort of towing assistance?

    No problem, you won't recognize it when you get it back!
  23. Everyone is different and have different views on investing money. From what I have seen, up to now it has been equity, bricks and mortar or cash being the mainstream investments. This Bitcoin thing is good until the market becomes saturated and prices top off or investors get the willies and pull out (so to speak). I have no idea when that will happen and am sure there is money to be made but guess it doesn't suit everybody.
  24. Many years ago, dodgy traders set up auctions in local village halls, basically they had some good gear and lots of shyte cheap crap. They had skilled sales guys building up a bit of fervour initially knocking out a small quantity of colour TVs at £20, music centres at £15 and a few other absolute bargains at silly prices and at that stage, people were desperate to buy ANYTHING, they knocked out the shyte and made a packet - my old man bought a Christmas tree that looked like a bog brush! I think a lot of this Crypto currency is a bit like that. I think if you took your kids left over Christmas chocolate coins down the pub, declared they were Bitcoin, some ijut would buy them for silly money. I have no doubt that you can make money at this game but now it is mainstream, the smart money has been made and now anything can happen. Got to say, I am watching prices now with interest but personally I am not in on this one!
  25. yup, the small ones are generally a bitch! Hope it solves your issues.
