First thinning of new woodland

You could try something like this.... -
Does anyone run another business? Or not do tree work full time?
spudulike replied to Cordata's topic in Business Management
Yup, got to have a niche that other people aren't doing or aren't doing well. The old adage that if you turn a hobby you enjoy in to a job, it will never feel like work is very true. From my years fixing and tuning saws, I had very little local or countrywide competition that impacted on my business and the above was very true. -
Happy Christmas👍

Never seen a spark arrestor on a BG86. In my experience, purge/primer issues are usually sorted by working out which part isn't sucking, blowing or sealing....usually pretty frustrating little feckers at best. Testing with a Mityvac often helps me.
-
The cases haven't been split have they? It may be a crankcase locating dowel.
-
Usually only seen around church/cathedral spires around here being the tallest cliff like structures available. More likely sparrowhawk's in the average UK garden.

Turning the screws out further will richen the fuel delivery and, on the H screw, will drop the high speed revs a bit so, no, the adjustment will not damage the engine. You may like to look at the plug colour after an hour or two, it should be a tan colour on the end electrode.

These ones...yours does look a bit longer...oh er missus....
-
Looking at the parts list, it is possibly the location dowel that should fit in the crankcase, starter side, top right hand corner close to the screw hole. See if it is missing.

She bakes a fine cake, that I do know......I think it was a flapjack. Jon...try putting a pic up otherwise I haven't a clue

Man, that is a bad one

If the saw is holding decent revs in the cut but the chain is not spinning then the clutch is slipping. If this is the case, the clutch may not be opening up as it should or the shoes/drum may be worn...sometimes the friction surfaces wear unevenly. Probably best to strip the thing down and inspect it. If the saw is bogging in the cut then that may be a carb or engine issue.

That's him, I fixed up an 880 for him and went to the cash point with him to pay for the work, me in a pinstripe suit and him barefoot wearing a Stetson and dungarees....sort of amused me at the time....would have made a good pic!

They use similar to plug domestic drain pipes on sewers. Who was the fella that turns skittles on here? I met him once a long time ago, not sure if he could help. Based around the west outskirts of London I think, built like a brick s%it house.

Miss Scarlet, in the garden, with a chainsaw.....you could make a game out of this!
-
Someone, please shoot me....on the other hand.....shoot him!!!

Too much ash.

There was a bloke on here recently that swore that couldn't happen. It must have been a miracle....or he was a twat.....one of those ponderables!!
-
Definitely a scam, apologies, a dodgy Google news feed!!

Haven't heard that sort of language since my primary school days...spacky would have done.

The neighbour has broken two laws:- Trespass which is a civil law so the police won't help unless he damaged property or broke in. And Criminal damage which they may well assist with. If criminal damage is proved in court, the neighbour may well be told to replace the tree with one as similar as is possible plus costs. The neighbour is an arsehole and you just need to work out what you need to do to ensure he knows it and knows you aren't a pushover. Legal action is bloody expensive and perhaps a solicitors cease and desist letter to basically squeeze his gonads, pointing out the laws he broke and then replace the tree if it doesn't survive...a Robina may be a good choice. The twat needs to know he has broken laws and they have consequences. Some neighbours are complete bell ends!

Got two Air arms, one springer, one PCP, no complaints at all.

I took it as legit as I recognized the supermarket brand but perhaps it is just a black Friday swizz☹️

If the neighbour came on to your side of the boundary or cut the tree on your side of the boundary without your agreement, he needs a bit of a wake up in regards of garden law!
