Aye padlocks frozen on my land.Finally got in and slipped on my blinking backside right down the lane haha.
-
I know I will go against the grain with this one but general grabber used to be great. Last pair had on navarra were utter tripe.horrid noise on road very very poor mileage and I found in wet mud were atrocious. But tires are such a personal preference thing I think it's hardto advise.
-
Yo mark get her done.they will offer better traction,however not only that you can run them lower pressure in the rough stuff. And as far as legality goes,so long as they ain't fouling the arches or scubbing,and there is no protrusion from arches the MOT won't matter diddly I passed few transits with BF's when I did MOT's only problem is the gearing on transits is absolute pap. But if you just want a more surefooted ride inthe roof stuff then yup I suggest hoss on with it bud
-
check the hp and torque figures and they will say otherwise.My old l200 with standard lump was a joke now has turbo and intercooled shogun lump in it and it's ok.The new ones are horrid had more go in a metro. Disco's are nice not overly grunty tho.Horses for courses tho ain't it. Fourtraks as mentioned are cracking little motors.
-
You want power and towing ability then get the navarra.the l200 is gutless Both navarra and l200 have horrid turning circles and are rubbish off road due to way to soft front ends with minimal ground clearance. Toyota hilux 4x4 with a set of heavier springs would be good choice failing that try find an old l200 like in my profile pic. If you could find one in your budget the rangers are a nice alternative.If your over 6ft3 then all of the choices above will be uncomfertable bud

Quick update chaps.She lives! Quick clean of carb new fuel filter in and a tweak of the mixture and I finally managed to get it back to its former glory thanks again for all the help and advice,if I could send a cold one your way I would.Ben
-
So should I order a carb repair kit for it and whap that in and see if it fixes it or just send it to the dealer? Never done a carb on a chainsaw before
-
Fingers crossed raker haha.you can't exactly strip these things before buying to inspect them eah haha. Trust it to happen right in middle of big job. Thanks for all the help guys really appreciated. Tis a shame aswell as it seemed a really nice saw when working had a nice bit of poke for it's size
-
thanks for words of encouragement guys
-
Regards to the air bleed valve would that cause the fuel to leak? As it's seeping fuel out when left on worktop over night,and when cap is opened on fuel tank there seems to be alot of pressure released would that also cause in to run dodgy like it is? Sorry for noob questions never ownd a stihl,and I'm beginng to see why
-
How much wood hodge? And What lngth I may have a drop off early this coming week up near that end
-
I still have loads.sadly Market in my area has become shockingly over saturated,Even the local greasy burger vendor has started selling logs.Who knows they may not be back next year. All I know is the idiots have tried out bidding one another with prices,and it has Driven the prices so low I cannot compete it has ruined my sales this year,ruined being understatement ib has slaughtered my sales! And left me a very cheesed off character
-
Where abouts would this impulse hose be located bud? Also how would I know if it's knackerd? Would a visual inspection work for that or would I need to remove the pipe and inspect? I'm trying everything to avoid the dealership,as I don't fancy getting robbed by them
-
Bore and piston look lovely spark plug nice brown tarnish as all two strokes should be air filter got blasted out and everything cleaned now when case is off carb and air cleaner the retainer that pushes choke on dosnt seem to engage anything when start is flicked,so I defo know th choke isn't working.Warmed the plug up and fires first pull didn't want to start tweaking mixture screws incase I messed her up so all seems to point to carb problems,as all seals on carb to air filter are okey as is the fuel pickup and filter. Tickle throttle and ease revs on and it will scream like a real un but try givig her a fistful just bogs down and dies still
-
Cheers bud. I accidently ran it out of fuel once hope it hasn't scored the bore is that somthing I should possibly be thinking bout. Could the plug gap need tweaking? a few peope said to me could be diaphragm ? Ran great when first got it last week it is a second hand saw
-
How much roughly at for carb rebuild kit for that raker?
-
It's even doing it when flat on workbench now guess it ain't looking good
-
50-65 I've seen it change hands for of late
-
Cheers woodland glad sombody replied haha.Air filter was caked in crap havnt had time to turn it over again tho as out the house would a clogged up airfilter give these symptoms? I guess on a vehicle it would do so possibly would on a 2stroke chainsaw
-
Hey chaps.saw keeps spluttering and coughing and shutting off when laid flat cutting on it's side or basically any other way apart from flat. Any ideas?
-
Get alot of time wasters I found
-
Place I'm at the moment resembles a swamp.Started off was mossy and bit of grass and weeds now it's sloppy,dirty iron ore filled mud up to my knees does America have ppe regulations like us Brits?
-
Old farmer next door to my spot just started selling at 2 pound for a large net.Rediculous,also taking alot of custom off me.
-
