i have both, both on a 18'' .325. both are excellent, but i don't know which prefer. the husky seems to be coming out to play more more lately.

yes they do DOLMAR - Heated handles

i am looking for uk supplier of tht and beast x rings, can only find shizll antal and arbpro, would like to but proper x rings to support it need some help! does anyone splice themselves?

357 is a good all rounder...how much is second hand?

don't overlook the Dolmar/Makita and Echo saws!

its basically worded in way that you have to nearly be a lawyer to understand, but i think; 3.5t plus 750kg is ok on standard post 97 licence (not really recent either) as long as your vehicle is rated to tow up to 750kg (most vehicles have a braked and un braked trailer rating, for my old hilux this was a whopping 450kg unbraked and about 1450kgs braked). however the laden weight of said hilux was about 2500kg (1500 unladen) and i could i think there for tow a braked trailer with the max load (including its own weight) or 1000kg as this then took me up to 3500kg. but with this there are rules about your kerbweight vehicle v.s laden trailer weight and i forget them. don;t quote me on this check it for your self, but this is how i interpretted it "A full car licence already lets you tow trailers weighing no more than 750 kg. You can also tow heavier trailers with a car as long as the total weight of vehicle and trailer isn’t more than 3,500 kg." -https://www.gov.uk/towing-rules

thats annoying of it

don't miss hadrians wall and the pennines - some good spots there, high force waterfall is worth a visit too, though not technically northumberland. i live nr allendale, where there are too many pubs, some of which are dog friendly and have good local crack allenbanks is also a great spot for walk.

no idea sorry. i think there is a good chance its earthing somehow if it was working well before you changed the rings

anyone know the crack with removing the cat thing on the muffler? will it need a retune after? can you just whip that bit of the exhaust out and put it back together?

i think coils are hard to test. check the gap between the flywheel and coil (business card apart), you can also test the earth with a multimeter, i think from the coil to the machine (try switching the switch). can you borrow a known working coil from someone? check all your wires have no breaks or splits as the ht lead will earth out easily!

fond of the 020's?

yeah agree, think it looks nice with the light uncarved wood in centre. spot on

great stuff, very enjoyable. did you switch to using a block when you were negative rigging?

i reckon the jotul 602 is one of the best stoves i've ever used. heats up dead fast, chucks the heat out, well made, hot plate, nice old fashioned look, clean burn option, wood only, no fire bricks just replacable cast plates. well worth a look IMO

just had a quick look, revving up to 13200-13400 - so reckon thats fine, could get the rev's to change by wrenching the handle about, but when the saw is hanging or tipped so the flywheel side is facing down the idle speed goes up to 3500 (from sitting at 2800). sounds to me like crank seal is on its way out?

whats the best way to check crank seals? will a visual inspection of carb boot achieve anything?

the Tes is £100 more than the Wes! please let me know how you get on with it on a 14'' thanks

hi, noticed my 200 idling up and down a wee bit when dangling on a strop and occaisonally would cut out. it used to idle all day no bother. is the first thing to check the carb boot and fuel lines (for splits) or is there any other likely candidates. thanks

any particular diameter/ type you would reccomend?

do i have to have a cord with eyes or would that work with knots on a length of the right diameter prussuk cord? is it 10mm? 8mm? think i better give this hitch climber a go

cos they are helpin you everytime you thrust

nah you've persuaded me to at least look into it!

can you post a link of the sort of thing you mean?

my experience of the oregon ripping chain was that it was a waste of time. it achieved a smoother cut but didn;t seem faster. i wouldn;t bother with it
