Hi Steve, Not sure if it is a problem or not. Browsing Arbtrader Classifieds (which I like very much) and am a bit offput by sections saying they have miore adverts than they actually display. It also changes with the wind. e.g Arb Equipment...said 10 adverts (displays 7) @ 08:54 and after a refresh says 5 and displays 2 @ 08:56 Is it me? Cheers Bob

I'd love to know what the Stihl definition of "working hours 368.4 " is. Supposing it was a actual time in use or a Tacho generated hour count like Ag plant. Using the Ag value of 1hr-time at 1500 rpm gives i.e. 25 revs per second. 368.4hrs = 1326240 seconds x 25 revs = 33,156,000 revs of the engine.....now that is impressive. Alternatively 368.4hrs = 22104 minutes if you are revving the saw at an average of 1/2 it's revs for that time say 5500revs pm = 121,572,000 blimey! If they made cars (or Bikes) I'd buy Stihl...... :-)

I have had to order new baffle plates in the past for My Jotul F100. I was given a 3-4 week turn around. Seemed fair as it isn't a UK manufactured item. I feel the same way about Jap M/Cycle spares...i.e. I don't expect them to keep a massive UK stock of (in my case Old -vintage?- spares) However a UK manufactured item, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect a week or two...max dependant on the exclusivity of the item. I mean I can get a next day (or 2-day) service on my Worcester Bosch Oil Combi on most parts. Is that what you were after? or should I change my location to la la land? :-) -

Sorry to butt in: I built my Huztl over last Christmas whilst following Spuds advice on what to look out for. 98% Chinese it has a OEM brake band and spur drive circlip plus a few missing torx bits for bumper spikes. Put about 4 tanks of fuel through it without issue. I was hoping to put it on the mill but haven't had anything worthy of milling this year. That'll be the true test. Also running closer to 25:1 Oil mixture as specified on the Chinese engines..... Bob

Plus....the people on this Forum are not the real reason for the "wet wood" problem. The misinformed wood burner who picks up and burns any old sh1t or the fly by night casual log merchants who sell freshly felled "seasoned" conifer aren't going to know, or care a jot about this. Then as the guidelines carefully avoid kiln dried forecourt cr@p it seems another way to stifle a minority of the marketplace. Stinks! #rantover

I rate them.had 2 pairs of the bib/brace trousers. Hard wearing. Only downside was they were a tad warm this summer.

I do get you...but then If you still stick with re-building and repairing old saws ...you'd still be running stuff without chain brakes, AV or electronic ignition. There has to be progress and in some cases regress (Yes we've done something wrong/doesn't work/isprone to failure) or where would we be?

Sorry, had to comment...I have the X27 and it is perfect and so why would you change or get another axe??? unless you need two, of course! Then ...Woodworks is absolutely correct.. For "Display" reasons the Gransfors is by far the more attractive (? ?) axe. Bob

Considering increasing our Firewood prices
Bob_z_l replied to arboriculturist's topic in Firewood forum
Blimey! £100 Still reeling at £100 a load. Glad the stuff I but is for me and mine. I'd find it hard to buy in at that price. -
Haven't done sandwiches for years as eating at Work isn't a nice ... (rats/pigeons) so even with washed hands i'd prefer to eat something with a fork. Pasta of choice and basil pesto or chilli pesto Hot or cold makes no diff. Normally prepared night before takes 10 mins

I'm Jealous. Always thought they'd be a more practical mini-mog as it had VW power. Love to see pics and hear progress.

Agree.... try not to field sharpen. I have "spares" of different degree to hand. All sharpened on the bench.

I pick up sawmill slab wood in 1.5/2 ton bundles and cut, dry and stack as all my other firewood. It isn't "pretty" like quartered logs but burns fine. If you aren't bothered about this and the price is right you'll move it...my friends and family aren't bothered and so I get rid of a fair bit. Best of luck. Bob

It wasn't all about the Jews. His cleansing of the Untermench also included Romany's many were exterminated. But this wasn't what this thread was about, so sorry for the divert.

Although the logic behind your "breeding" licences makes a bit of sense..... it is also the same logic a chap from Austria tried in the 1930's Dangerous! There needs to be a different approach to raising the IQ. However listening to some of the conspiracy boys at work the gov't won't allow it as free thinking is discouraged. Whole different thread.

Nah...not me. Get a copy of the metro every now and then. Lasts depending on whether it's a good news day or no.

All of the above. Paper from the recycle (till reciepts) birch bark - yes and back up happy shopper fire lighters all with pallet kindling (produced by GenSet Steve) Try to be low impact and green ...try to do that burning wood rather than heating oil.

When you start going down the ban everything road ...things get tricky. Borderline unenforceable. Possibly they could Ban the sale of new non compliant/efficient wood burners and new installations- yes. But banning ALL woodburners and open fires? As others have said, there are greater contributors to particulates, but burning wood......?. Or, they could start at B&Q (insert other homewares chain here) and ban all BBQ's and Chimneas. Or, have I missed the point, is it only the particulates in home burn wet firewood? Madness

Nice one.... Very interesting. Heard something like this on the radio. So people buy "kiln dried" from their local Esso that has been sat on the forecourt for a month and is far, far wetter than anything in my shed that has been air dried. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/jan/19/log-fires-traffic-fumes-cause-bergen-air-pollution Editted.... as I found that the Scandinavians ARE regulating.

Hi All, Again, Thanks for this. My parts diagram doesn't show a fuel solenoid and I get no hits on any internet searches. Can anyone supply a part number , or better a link to the service manual. I have this one...but I don't think it deals with m-tronic. MS261_parts.pdf
