Rose and Crown or The Three Tunns:lol:

Andy isn't kidding, his saw would wake the dead:lol:

Now theres a thought - think they used a charge of high explosive - be good in a car - James Bond like, I have had passengers I could have ejected at will - no sunroof though:blushing: Thats what I like on here - you come out with a comment and it lines you up for days of abuse in a comical sort of way:001_rolleyes::lol:

At work we have been through the previously mentioned manufactures and the one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest for fit, colour fastness and durabillity are Dickies - yup, they are by far the best! Ours are dark blue and despite wearing them every day, are still dark blue and are a nice non baggy fit, not stupid tight but just fit well with a slight taper down to the waist - sort of tailored. We have had Fruit of the loom and gildan and Dickies are far better. Some of the shirts sent over from the US were also damn good but will be harder to get hold of. We have typical Polo shirts for our company wear!

Think we had better lay off him now, he will be getting a complex about his age ......never mind Rich, nothing but Parker Knowle chairs to look forward to now - the ones that eject you are looking good:001_tt2::001_tt2:

:lol:

Parcel Monkey, iPost, Myparceldelivery - all middle men brokers but that way you get better prices - it must be dry of fuel and boxed well - even then many are sniffy about engines, saws etc! Check the prohibitive items before booking!

Mmmm - what can I say - he creases me up at times:lol: I reckon you two could do the Open All Hours scene - "fork handles nah four candles!

Congratulations Rich....Grandfather at 28...can't work that one out but glad everything is OK:thumbup:

Take a break from my earlier post - the lever on the starting lever should force the choke flap in to the base of the airfilter closest to the carb and seal the carb back on cold start. If it isn't doing this then it could be the issue. Another issue is as I stated earlier - the throttle valve not being held open enough to let the engine burst in to life - I have seen this on an 038 Magnum before!

To the parts list - http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/2062264/038-pl-pdf-july-12-2010-4-47-pm-446k?da=y it looks correct. The lever should open the choke in normal running. All you can do is to push the pictured base of the air filter in to place on the two carb mounting screws and make sure the choke is held fully closed in the cold start position and then it should open in the fast idle and normal running position. Check this out first!

Bloody Ffffrrrreeeezzzzzing here in rainy Herts, fire going like a good un most nights. Even if it is warm during the day it gets a bit parkey from 8.30pm onwards. Got through 1 1/2 log stores of wood - usually only do one store a year, still it is all free:thumbup:
-
Pretty much as Barrie says - the choke needs to be fully sealed to get the first shot of fuel vapour in to the engine which is why you are pulling 50 - 60 times to get it working:blushing: Sort the choke out first. The other thing I have had in the past is that the fast idle starting position, doesn't open the throttle valve enough, this can make starting a PITA! Easy to see if you have this by getting the saw running and making sure the saw revs up to mid revs when on the fast idle position - if it doesn't then you can make up for any wear by bending the throttle linkage a little:thumbup: Just make sure that the linkage is loose in normal idle position!

He has already been in touch:001_rolleyes:

Delivery costs more:lol:

Sounds like the needle valve in the carb isn't sealing properly, possible it is being held open. You can put a piece of fuel pipe on the fuel pipe connector and blow down it to see if you can get any air through (you shouldnt be able to). A pressure gauge to do this is a better option!

<p>Hi Andy,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Burrell (Martin) is the mechanic to my really stupid ideas - he turns, mills and welds anything I throw at him - usually in a haze of bad language:-)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looking at it I would expect you to be dead right - £10 buys you about 30 mins on a good day!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cheers</p>

Always worth holding a stock of gasket paper or hard to find gaskets. Once made a complete crankcase gasket Always useful when tuning saws as well
-
Had a few of these - decent small machines, the carbs on the ones I had were slide valves so the mix is adjusted by the needle height in the slide valve - bit like the carbs on motorcycles. I would personally just strip the carb down and give it a good clean as a starting point. If the engine won't pull past mid revs then it is either lacking fuel or too much air - possible air leak. Try running without an air filter and see if it makes it better of worse - if it makes it worse then you are running lean. Other than that - one I had, had a bad plug cap that would give you a nasty nip if you touched it!

The wifes got one of those duplex kidney thingys - only found out when she had a kidney infection a year ago!

You on drugs or alchohol M8:blushing: Hope it all works out in the end after re-habilitation:thumbup:

It is the OIL hose Rich needs, Part - 1117 647 9401 Billsmowers link looks like the right one or I am sure Rich may come up with a suitable alternative - always more than one way to skin a cat:thumbup:

Ah, not the same listing:001_rolleyes:

Aw crap, can't be a good feeling but guess you savour the successes and try to forget the failures - you can't get them all. Your life expectency isn't particularly high in water this time of year without some kind of flotation suit:thumbdown:
