# Erm - compression is always more on a cold engine due to the fuel/oil coating covering the piston and cylinder being thicker when cold and more liquid when warm. Things I would check - make sure the choke is fully closed when the choke is engaged, make sure the throttle opener for starting the saw is opening the throttle when you take the saw choke lever off full choke and on to the next position. Sometimes sterting the saw whilst holding the throttle wide open will get it going. Agree with the earlier suggestion that the L screw may be turned in too much, if you undo it a little, the idle will need adjusting.

Yup - what he said if you want the saw to be in top nick and ready for a lot of work.

We had the rule that the first one home gets the evening meal and since she stopped full time work......meal on the table each night:thumbup: No washing up - got a dishwasher:001_tt2:

I did hear of a guy who got so fed up with having his car broken in to he put a seat cover on the driving seat............with a board with nails driven in to it protruding from the top underneath........ouch:blushing: ......of course I don't condone this sort of irresponsible behaviour:001_rolleyes:

Yup, the 345 and 350 are the poor mans 346xp and are good saws IMO the mufflers are suposed to come loose but never experienced this with my 345. I muffler modded my 345 and tuned it to 13,500rpm, lovely little saw and goes like stink.

Another one to add to the statistics Grantham Area

Yup - ****** and low lifes, my brother almost had his kit get pinched when he was working near his van, fortunately he caught them having a good look and he looks like you wouldn't want to argue with him. -
I sort of agree, I trade on ebay and offer out good working kit but purchase off ebay knowing that the items may fall well short of what I would call "serviceable". Some traders are not quite as reliable!

The seller is having a laugh - that is a £60 Zomax and what are the bidders on, haven't they seen a MS440:confused1: I like the way he says the original buyer was a time waster, more like a wise guy! Seen these come up as 395XP Huskys - I always report them!
-
Sounds about right - taking the carb off a 441 is a right old job.

Felco No 2 now on order:thumbup:
-
What No are they - was looking at the classic No 2:confused1:
-
Well it looks like Felco get the vote of the pros - they will be a birthday pressie so not worried about the cost....too much. Cheers for the reviews etc

Cost of running a wood burner
spudulike replied to wisewood's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
I was basing my comment on a non back boiler stove so heating one room or a bit more if you leave the door open - there are always exceptions to the rule! I have no doubt you are right in what you say! -
Right - I need a new set of secateurs for normal pruning but am usually a bit lazy and use them for thicker branches when perhaps I shouldn't! I have been drawn toward the Felco No2 and the Wolf Garten RR5000 - so it is a Swiss v German battle:001_rolleyes: What do you guys use - they will be a present so am looking for decent and want something that will last - the wife broke the last pair that had done 15 years! The Wolf Garten ones £22 and the Felco - £35 - best price, the Felco ones have spare parts available.

Same as the 020T but think that is it!

Cost of running a wood burner
spudulike replied to wisewood's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Yup.....free wood = free heat. If you pay for the logs a wood burner isn't a cheap way to heat a house but makes the eco types feel happy. She will need to get hold of a source of free wood and old pallets make good kindling - it aint easy but beats paying the oil/gas/leccy companies! -
Pretty much my thoughts - just took a 441 apart and found some sort of twin choke carb - made taking the head off a much longer job than usual and reassembly was interesting. Most of this stuff is down to the US EPA laws - they feel the love of the catalytic convertor over the water - most of them seem to rip the things out as soon as they can! Going off topic - I see the 125cc Moto GP is being stopped and 250 four strokes taking over - are we going to see 4 stroke or diesel chainsaws:001_rolleyes:
-
Yup - Samuel has been in touch and it is the AV mount that has gone - as per the previous post - £5 but removing the threaded section from the saw may be difficult but should come out OK.

Compression Check - 170psi - a very good compression reading
