right then here is an interesting one. got a another coil from a spares repair dcs5000. it arrived, i check spark in machine, good strong spark, fit to dcs5000 with faulty coil and great it works good spark in saw that wasn't sparking, its late at night so i fire it up but don't really razz it, thought that'll wait until the morning. in morning no spark, wierd? take starter coil off and check distances, about a busniness card from fly wheel. more fiddling and weak spark, little fire on full choke, then back to no spark. fit coil back to spares repair saw where it worked when i first tested coil, no spark, then a little one then nothing. am i missing something? i have obviously checked the kill switch wire and ht wire for wear etc. should i never try and fix a saw again as i seem doomed to perpetually waste money? has the flywheel somehow broken the 2nd coil? WTF!

Repeated scored pistons on Stihls - time to switch to Aspen?!
billpierce replied to Andrew Barrett's topic in Chainsaws
had a chat with the fella at local husky dealer yesterday (david dixons) who'd just been to meet husky people and was told that they are no longer aloud to blame siezures/problems on not using the posh husky 2 stoke oil as other brands of oil (stihl, oregon etc) are as good - more to do with whether its a semi sythetic etc. -
saw that for sale back in the summer, why would they copy a 070 not a more modern saw though? is it a fake?
-
i don't trust the one on the makta 230t either so i just pop the strap round the handle. works fine!
-
i've got a makita dcs 4201 and it rocks! light enough and plenty grunt for 42cc!

The Burning Issue - Truck MPG becoming a major headache...
billpierce replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Arb-Trucks
think its a XA20 (2000–2005)but not sure. its a 5 dr. internet says in mixed driving it'll do 40mpg? -
any other makes make something like a back handle ms150. i got the makita 230t which i love but can;t get back handle. its for carving. echo do anything in the pro range similar? or any others? i want it to be pro spec i think as i know it'll last better. thanks

i'm sure those stats are right and i'm sorry to hear your 15k down:thumbdown: i'm saying anything bad about the police either but if i had to stereotype they not too keen on "travellers" so it doesn;t surprise me that they are able to find stuff on sites or travelllers motors as i expect they spend more time searching these places. i went on a camping holiday with my family a few summers back, with the horse, we had visits from the coppers every night, often waking us up and getting our names and addresses (once at 1am!). i was pretty shocked!

like 034's you mean? yep anything with stihl on sells. check ebay and gumtree, you wont' get stihl for under £100 whatever condition
-
my kids slam it all the time, not smashed anything yet. i figured if i am making it from one bit of wood, it'll need to be good and chunky
-
if you have time, stick a slab or two in your bathroom for 3 months or so first
-
i'd go 15 all day with a saw that size, far handier

one piece of oak for seat then the bit the hinge fits to at the back has the grain running the other way i.e seat grain runs front to back, bit at back left to right as you look at it. was a piece of oak been cut for a couple years but knocking around yard in rain, so i'd guess 25% if your going for 1 piece of wood keep it good and chunky i would say!
-
made this from oak. bit too green so split a bit but works fine. 2'', thick, carving chainsaw, sander, 180 grit finish, tung oil x8 coats. the hinges are annoying but prob ok if your good at hinges.
-
i'll give it a go! oh and the rails have enough depth thanks
-
i have had this exact same problem and are yet to solve it. it has on an elderly husky bar and what spud says about splayed rails was my conclusion as i like you it was happening on a new chain. my bar looks good with a steel ruler against it and right angle on the rails but when buried in a cut catches and feels like its really badly burred. do you reckon the bar has been around for a good bit?

thatch, woodburner, insurance, pain in the *
billpierce replied to woodland dweller's topic in General chat
different insurers? -
very sorry you had stuff nicked. its horrible that it happens. i'd like to mention that not everything that get nicked should immediately be blamed on travelers.
-
go on then, explain why you would do that?
-
aye you wouldn't really want to pay top dollar for one with 250k on it. if though reckon its a bargain then your ok. they seem pretty resellable whatever condition!
-
yep my hilux has done 310k and still going strong so i wouldn't let 250k put you off. depends i recon on final cost. i think i would be tempted to get an old bj or hj pickup if i had cash sloshing about. i know its a petrol but this is class
-
would either fit or do i need to stick to the red? guess that means you won't be able to get one any cheaper then? thanks bill
-
doesn't look like it
-
yeah checked the gap its cock on. thanks new coil £115 from makita!
-
plug looked fine so sadly i reckon the coil is goosed. is there anything i haven;t checked?
