  1. I bought it through a third party who received it for the Stihl dealer in Northampton via a home insurance claim. I could very easily take it back, but it's a bit of a trek for something I'm sure is easily fixed.
  2. Yes thanks
  3. Help! My brand new MS391 I topped up with fresh (Makita) chainsaw oil, and off I went to try it. Despite turning up the oil feed to near maximum, all it does is soak the exhaust, inside and outside of side cover, and the chains as dry as a lizards tongue. Chain was very hot when I stopped to investigate. This is with a brand new Stihl 16" bar and chain, so can't be due to clogging or anything. Still only half way through my first tank, if that. There was fresh oil showing in little trench where it feeds the bar, but for some reason it's not getting into the bar, but going everywhere else, mostly the exhaust. Worrying thought. I've read that the feed tubes for the pump on some stilhls can leak, but this is ridiculous. Any ideas, or this things going to be used to power a bicycle instead.
  4. They'd better hurry up then, there's only four months left
  5. In that case, I'll be immune.
  6. Doesn't work on iPad.
  7. Bugger. I nearly bought that. Was gutted when it vanished from the bay.
  8. Hi Biggy J, Could you publish a picture of what one of these pallets looks like please?
  9. Just out of interest Saw Troll, since you pop up on every forum relating to chainsaws the world over, saying pretty much the same thing... May I ask what your profession is and what saws you own? Just curious, as I cant help thinking the answers are: Marketing Executive - Husqvarna None - are you kidding me? Those big oily things are really heavy man!
  10. Is this the one that was on ebay, photographed in a sunny garden about a year ago?
  11. Because Iveco Rock. Nissan Cabstar road tests and car reviews And Nissan suck.
  12. The ideal length is the same as the length of a piece of string.
  13. Popcorn maker now ordered. Hopefully not a fake
  14. When did you last grease the head/gearbox assembly?
  15. Screw a couple of blocks of wood to the base of your planks to act as spacers. Lay flat across the flat roof and secure with long screws to the edge of the flat roof timber frame. You now have a flat level platform below the worksite to secure a ladder. Attach a safety line through the open window to something solid within the house just in case.
  16. Tefal Spider or to use the Latin name 'arachnus mekonicus' The bite can cause swelling like this fella has...
  17. Get me one while you're at it. A Stihl FS-560 C-EM would tickle my pickle.
  18. Or they had a massive deposit/cheap house. He DOES count!
  19. I'm not a pro user so take this with a pinch of salt, but I bought some Haix Tibet Forest boots which have had light use. They do however feel comfy, extremely well made and very protective (read mega chunky). They will take some breaking in, but I rate them and would buy another pair if mine were stolen (I'll never wear them out lol)
  20. According to the website no. There is no OEM saw blade listed. HUSQVARNA 143R-II - Brushcutters However if one fits in theory it's feasable. It's a brushcutter, designed to run either nylon trimmer line or a grass blade. Clearing saws have shorter shafts, beefier engines and small hard guards behind the blade to stop you chopping your toes, shins, legs off. Buy a clearing saw if you're cutting saplings, save the Brushcutter for weeds, thistles and grass.
  21. Would something like this contraption bolted to the bottom of a ladder work on the dog house roof? http://www.stabiladder.com/images/DSC00079.JPG Must admit, I'd be terrified it would slip, but I'm a massive wimp.
  22. Within reason anything can be fabricated. However if there's an on the shelf part it might be a lot less hassle. I'm sure spud is the best person to answer this, as he's The Saw Whisperer by all accounts.
  23. Just a pot shot. For a less aggressive grass deterrent, a few shovels of rock salt might do the trick if re-applied every few weeks. Cheap and safe for the fluffy bunnies and tree pixies. I know there's a few on here that advocate this method for killing neighbours lawns....
  24. Never, I'll scuttle up 3 feet with my chisels, bash down the mainsail and then wittle the core away with my penknife, piece of piss.
