Why anybody is importing Ash in general is beyond me

Hi, yeah the L and H settings I didn't confuse. Another thing I've noticed is I have to use the choke on the saw more than often. Even after a minute of not using it the choke needs to be used. The spark plug is a nice browny colour. I'll take out the carb tonight and investigate!

censorship!

never tried it but i can see how it would make it go over easier. less fibres holding it up. any particular % of the hinge you cut away?
-
Cleaned whatever it was in those photos and lowered the L by a turn and abit, kept H at one screw out. With the L screwed in full the saw revs the tits off itself like it should. After putting L settin to previously said setting the saw does that limiting thing again. I cut up some hazel and the saw is lacking power maybe piston is just knakered? The saw is a 1998 model.

Wee village outside Lurgan.

Tell me about it lol I'm sick of cutting hedges in Cavan
-
Rookie question. am i looking in the right area?
-
Hey spud L and H settings have been set to one turn out. Should I be looking at possible dirt in the gauze filter?
-
Depends what you are like financially. Long term I'd go for the 17k job, is it possible to do estate work at weekends?

Hey all back again only this time it's with a husky 345 that I had bought years ago but never ran right and just sat in the garage. I've had a look inside the piston nowt really out of the ordinary there (to me anyway). I had lost the air filter so I chose to run it without to see if I could fiddle with the carb setting. It idles no problem but whenever I hit the throttle it just won't go to full revs. There's no cutting out anywhere along the lines. It can be likened to a limiter in a car whenever I hit the full throttle, it's not reaching full revs. Halfway and then it sounds like its bouncing off a limiter. The exhaust is abit smokey almost tinge of grey/blue and I think some speckles of petrol coming out the carb.

It was on the news tonight that ash dieback has arrived in counties Antrim and Down.
-
Thanks for the info never came across gano app/lipsiense before so was quite interesting.
-
The gano would eventually lead to trunk failure?
-
This Lime was 90 years old but wasn't overally massive, the canopy looked fine, all the leaves had dropped but otherwise looked sound. The photo was took inside of a cavity around head height on the trunk. I didn't touch it so can't answer that question
-
Found this on a Lime whilst strolling in the park, is it Artists bracket?
-
Vacuum with brush attachment

I find using Wd40 attracts the dirt, use 3in1 much better.

There's 12 mature Oaks on our ground and not a thing, same for the four or five chestnuts at roadside. It's just something that's been fiddling in the back of my mind for a few weeks. If a chestnut for example did attempt to spend its low energy reserves on fruiting would that path lead to it rendering itself ill possibly or open to the possibility of being susceptible to illness?
-
Apologies if this has been posted before but am I missing something? Not one Oak or Chestnut has fruited acorns or conkers around my way at all. Surely they should be out and all by now? Anyone else notice this?
-
Surely Microsoft Word would be capable of doing such things? Just needs abit creativity
-
Thanks spuds like, hopefully all this action is just the carb! Tune in tomorrow, same Arbtime! Same ArbChannel!
