I did say the pics were courtesy of....... Sorry - not mine!

There was a guy banging out spares on ebay but just checked and he is gone. Probably easier to get another non runner and rip the spares off but these saws don't go for much:thumbdown:

It sounds like the L screw may be wound in a bit much - it should be one turn out. Worth checking the gauze filter in the carb under the large single screw cover - that can cause this sort of issue. Air leaks in the inlet boot can also give this sort of fault as it leans the mix down too much.

Just a note to thank Rob D for decent service, ordered a new bar and two chain loops Thursday evening from his site Chainsawbars ? bars, chains and chainsaw accessories and they arrived tonight (Monday). Don't worry that the site only lists Stihl, he can also sort out Husky ones on request and probably others at a decent price. Cheers

Ebay is the biggest market place and where you are likely to get the best price. Personally I usually do a vid to show it working and a compression check to show the engine is OK. Not had any problems to date - I usually include the operators manual and strict instructions about how to mix the oil and fuel etc.

Just read the full post - not much help really, think it will be a case of digging out as much of the stone as possible and then using a crap chain and bar to do the work, solid tip bar may be a good option if you have an old one!
-
Not really my subject but generally builders use diamond tipped chain on specialised saws that use water as a coolant - seen them come up on ebay listed as ICS concrete cutters I believe. I am sure some of the other guys will know more - what are you intending on cutting?
-
Yes, just found this - Parcel Delivery from Interparcel They are again one of these outfits that use other people to courier - £6.50 is a fair price for a mid weight saw on a 3 day service.

Parcels2go don't do saws now, by some of the packing from some ebay traders that I have seen, I understand why:001_rolleyes: Best to google couriers and then go with one of these groupage traders, they basically get a damn good rate from a number of couriers based on the fact they will do a certain level of business with them and then offer the user (thats us) a reduced price on what we would get from the courier direct! Hermese and Yodel seem to be the cheapest on a three day service - but book through one of these discount courier sites - one that will take saws! Parcel2go will take engine parts - up to you if you want to take a chance - I always drain the fluids and bag in a plastic bag to avoid spillages!

Just spent 30 mins looking for an image of the single dog chain catcher but no joy - it will fit, trust me:thumbup1: The roller type will require two dogs as per my previous pics!

If you look at the parts list link I sent you, it is on there to the right hand side of the saw mounted one. The parts pic is courtesy of ebay and the other pic from the other Arb site!

No worries, it baffled me as well around three years ago:lol:
-
Thanks Si, it was a pleasure. We sorted the chain catcher out via PM but for the record, it attaches to the lower dog screw - a bit like the MS200T and others in this respect - pointed owner to the relevent parts list! Hope the saw will earn it's worth now:thumbup:

I like Oak for the length of time it burns for but if you burn it on its own, you need to open the dampers to give it a boost - best mixed with a soft wood or another wood that burns faster. Mixed is best, another wood to keep the embers glowing and Oak to make the fire last:thumbup:

It is - video of it courtesy of Burrell on "Boys day out" thread, it really rips!

Generally the seals can be removed without splitting the crankcases, like this -

What do people do in their spare time ?
spudulike replied to nathan marshall's topic in General chat
My spare time.......fixing all your busted saws or porting saws to make them a little bit quicker:thumbup: Apart from that, I don't have too much spare time but like a bit of motor sport! -
Yes, the worm drive is pushed on and can be quite tight, the oiul pump is removed by pulling out all the screws, inserting three in the tapped holes and using them to push the pump out - got a service manual somewhere if it helps but is pretty simple once you have worked it out.
-
Sounds reasonable to me and as long as it fills up the hole, sounds like a reasonable solution. If I am servicing a saw, I would offer a new one but on your own machine for a cheap fix:thumbup:
-
Yeah, Martins a decent fella and the saw looked pretty good on our last outing, should do you proud:thumbup:
-
Well thats the 020AV then, bit of a pig to work on compared to the 020T/MS200T, bit heavier, good amount of torque, not used one other than to test and it cut OK but probably a bit long in the tooth to use for climbing now! Saying that, got two in the workshop to do up for sale!
-
002AV:confused1: Are we talking 020AV or 012AV:confused1:

Personally I only started cutting a decent amount of my own firewood when I had petrol saws, the ability to go out and fill the boot of the wagon is gone with an electric saw. The advantages are they are quieter, spin slower so are more predictable and they need less technical knowledge to get them going - Oh, they are generally cheaper to purchase as well. Only used a Bosch and Black and Decker one, both were OK - the guy I sold the Black and Decker one to took down a big willow with it - I don't condone this but it did last up OK:thumbup: Best £25 he spent!
-
Burrell on this site is the bloke who is selling it, didn't sound as good as the MS200T but cut pretty well when we were having a play the other day! Looks pretty low miles to me! I think Al is commenting on the 335XPT, sounds like my analysis of the oiler weakness.
