:confused1::confused1:i was checking all the new posts this morning and have noticed a rise in smart a**** answer,s to wrong questions asked!! its shame really as some questions are very good but smart answers spoil it or have i got it all wrong and its just banter etc and nothing to do with the right answer just mates being mates etc i get confused at times with the wrong answer to the question being asked etc eg move the road n ramp answer to the tree question gets my wires crossed at times lol gets me all confused as a learner reading up on this forum as my heads a sponge at the moment

thanks for the info but only have a oregon bar raker that come in the file kits i ordered for my old 038 i dont have the saw anymore as it used more fuel than i liked compared to my ms260 unsure now confused on the max min depth of bar groove before its bin time can you help what the minimum is please so i can monitor it etc sorry to mither
-
so am i right in thinking a blue bar is a longer lasting harder wearing one as my ms260 has a 16" stihl bar fitted and is,nt blue etc so will have a shorter life span and on that note how long does a bar last like mine 1 year 2 years etc am i better buying a spare bar
-
I,ve noticed on ebay that a good deal of chainsaws for sale have the chain bars gone blue and as i,ve never had this on my saw whats the cause and does it affect the life of the bar or make no differance etc please be gentle as i,am no expert just a log burner bloke and what may seem a stupid question to you is a big help to me understanding/learning more and more and just greatfull for shared knowlege etc

-
How many of you use a chainsaw on your own n be honest as i wont/dont do it etc they frighten the hell out of me the damage they could do how would you get help bleeding to death etc so be honest and confess or am i being over the top with safety etc accidents are real and cause havoc to lives

Have you ever had a chimmney fire
predator replied to predator's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
thanks for all the posts very rewarding all the advice etc i,am now thinking if i did have a fire it would be the top 3rd that would get on fire etc how on earth did people get on in the old days with the cack that was burnt then i remember me mams fire n tar use to bubble out the coal etc and we never had a fire up there but it was a open fire though my mate had one in his liner and he said it was like a roman candle/jet engine and just let it burn out i will have to keep n eye on mine at the top end from now on every now n then i know its ok at the moment as i,ve recently had the chimmney re pointed/repaired so know its in good health i was just supprised how little ash there was at the bottom and any ash i do get from the fire goes on my garden and veg patch -

you supprise me bye fitting a liner i would think your going backwards making it worse but known to be wrong etc lol i think theres nothing better than a brick chimney liners are for toff,s n gas fires -
just a thought for today i got up this morning feeling i,am having a good day etc "" so far i live in hope trying to stay positive etc anyway i fitted my fire well over a year ago and opend the access hole in my register blanking plate whatever you call it thesedays and stuck my camera up took some picc,s to check the ash/soot build up in there and was very supprised to find hardly anything there so stuck the hoover in there quick suck suck etc all done nice n clean now again i was just very supprised how little ash there was etc i was always worried about chimmney fires etc with all the internet reading available but now my minds at rest etc well for me anyway how often should i clean it out please ?? as i would be greatful for any advice thanks
-
also is it running at normal temp as the stat stuck open wont help and you could try having the pump timing check and advanced a tad that will / should stop the smoke probbs also tweek the tick over up a bit as the old 500,s dont like idling under hiab load etc they suffered very low engine oil pressure some had a electric oil pump fitted on the turbo versions ps has it got inline pump or a rotary pump fitted check the timing lines are bang on or advance a tad clockwise past the line by a fraction where the pump mates up to timing cover its all just age/wear design and how its used related
-
funny you,ve said that because i,ve had troubles with chain tension and its thrown one chain off thank goodness for the chain catcher eh!! i wont/hav,nt used it off late but found the small file thing after deciding to re dress the chain up to get it ready for use etc thankyou for the good advice every days a school day for me learning cheers
-
i will when i have the moneys replace them etc i will re order 3 new chains and a 1 mtr pull starter cord as spares oh a oil cap for my ms 260 as it leaks chain oil thanks for the offer of help rob just not upto facing people at the moment etc thanks gents i will send justin my order very soon etc i got troubles with my banks at the moment closing barclays opening a new acc with tsb etc its all a pain
-
thanks lads that confirms my thoughts that the chains are wrong as it will only take a small 4.0 mm 0r 5/32 file from my 200t file kit 3/16 far too thick to use for dressing my 260 up
