thats it isn't it! i am only on cannon bar 2 having hammered it hard over prob 7 years!
-
i have just clocked these guys on german ebay selling non OEM stihl parts, anyonw had and experience of them and their quality? thinking of getting some bars and other bits....
-
hi, got a dcs5000 spares or repair to nick some bits off, now i'm trying to fix it up, it has compression, a new coil (sparking good) and the carb is clean (screws are turned out 1) not firing, if i choke it or half throttle it it floods, after pulling for a long time (and periodically cleaning spark plug and pot) it will fire a couple of times, this appeared more frequent when the H and L were 1.5 to 2 turns out.) the only two things i can notice are - very very light scoring on piston (but i have seen much worse saws still run (even if only badly) and compression feels ok to good. also diaphram in carb is a wee bit stretched, but again i have seen much worse still run. anything else worth checking? doesn;t feel lumpy when pulling over, flywheel has no movement (other than roundways!) thanks in advance haven;t checked impulse line, but as its flooding i'm assuming its working?
-
yep, shaped it with a saw them anglegrinder sanding disc, then chisels (most enjoyable bit). thanks!
-
thanks, shame about the cracking back rest, but it has been cut for 2 years and air dried so hopefully won't get any worse. i can't help feel like spltting/green wood is a bit of an unspoken issue amongst us carvers? i have carved some stuff from oak in the round and watched it open up like a flower! redwood and larch seem to do it less though eh?
-
yeah i was thinking that! been translating from german websites and from what i read they are on par if not better than oregon.
-
carved oak bench what i made for some friends getting married. sorry about sidey ways images, couldn't figure out how to turn them
-
anyone tried these Sägenspezi bars? reet cheap and thats with a chain too! but i expect you get what you pay for. but they are nearly half the price of decent ones!
-
no idea about leaded fuel, never been around it
-
that'll be fairly big then?
-
saw this and thought someone would want it. i do and don't at the same time! Stihl Lightning Contra £320! think its not the 138cc one though what are they like for parts?
-
mind you i reckon my dcs5000 cuts better on .325!
-
lime is like carving wax, nice and creamy! but yes crap out doors!
-

i have a 22cc makita saw too. can't fault it, lighter than the 150 and it'll run a 1/4 picco chain lik ethe 150 too. strop is round the handle though, not he strop attachment - don;t trust it!
-
Is this cankers or this syringae thingy? No fruiting bodies that I can see and tree appears in good leaf but alot of cracks, with what appears to be dead wood. Suspect it needs removing as very close to a garage. Neighbouring tree has started to crack also. What is this? Will it comprise the tree's structure? Thanks Photos coming in a minute just struggling with phone
-
shane did you sort this? my ms361 is doing exactly what your describing!
-
yeah very good!
-
right sounds like give it a miss. snapping! FFS!
-

-
Convert a MS181 vs a MSA 200. What do you think?

Turning your rough boards into lovely smooth ones

i too use a 9'' makita grinder with 9'' discs. works great for out door furniture etc but obviously hard to get a dead flat planed surface you can get 24 grit discs which eats the chainsaw marks out reet quick.
