    Oh sod off

  2. Ever tried Niwaki?
  3. Fairly strong nightmare fuel.
  4. I disturbed some with a leaf blower while on the roof of mum and dad's house earlier this year. Was tied on to the chimney. Had to start thinking along the lines of unclipping so I could jump down onto the patio if needed. Massively unfunny.

    It's the sprung tensioning mechanism. Even has a little internal catch for remounting the bar. All well and good until it breaks.

    I did a few lifty and dead branches and some epicormic with it on first. Lack of vision annoying and you want the top of the bar for the really frizzy bits. You don't want to backbar heavily though. It's rough and it throws the chain if you haven't got the sidecover tight.
  7. Took the plunge. Dead handy.
  8. If there's one thing I've learnt from just watching the first four Terminator films, it's that we need more privately held grenade launchers.
  9. Bizarrely, I actually believe you, that you are a computer from Zanzibar. I'm fairly sure you're not a human in the UK who had finished an ash reduction "earlier in the day" and was then posting on here by 09:37.
  10. Now that's soldiering. Poles in the tree are great.
  11. Are you a human or a computer? What's your name and where do you come from?

    Clutch spring hack

    Footage from the successful (if loud) M-Tronic operation this morning. Why can’t car ECUs be that easy?
  13. Indeed. Not oak or douglas fir. First result on google says, "greenheart is one of the stiffest woods in the world." Curious if that's just an advantage in a timber framed house build or whether you need a bit of flex if the structure is meant to flex a bit. Presumably training for cutting them under tension and not standing in the wrong place while doing so? There are some horrible videos of people cutting steel RSJs. They've got loads of stress in them. Twang. Shin in thirty pieces.
  14. Sure it's not just falling out of the pipe(s) with gravity? Because, yeah, that sounds wrong. Unless there are two inputs and an output you haven't found yet?
  15. Novel. Pictures here if you get any of them going in please.
  16. Justified or erroneous revenge? i.e. Did you grass him up? Geddit? Grass!

    You beauty.
  18. Second most problematic probably.

    Clutch spring hack

    Much obliged. "It's all in the owner's manual." Obviously the (service) manual I have describes a slightly different procedure... And is for 2013-07 saws. My saw is 2018. Anybody got a manual with the right bit in please?

    @Steve Bullman Post the video from one of your Camberley visits please. The manual isn't especially clear.

    I imagine avoiding anything with my name on because I generally treat them like an unannounced DEFRA visit.

    Clutch spring hack

    Back to my 661, the reason I was doing clutch springs is that it's been running on very badly during some HEAVY use recently. Maintaining a really high idle until I slowed the chain on some wood and then blipped the throttle. Should I do the M tronic reset? The rev it for two minutes thing.
