-
Possible been on before

Wish it were a joke

Am I right in thinking its 'chain guard' rather than brake handle? That did make me suspicious. Can you even get Chinese 090s? Or is it just an 070 with 090 top end ( is that even possible?)

Ideal chipper saw/ coppice saw/carving saw

I was pleasantly surprised recently to find a new OEM husky cylinder and piston kit for a 3120 only 150quid from dealer, so no complaints as long as they keep this up. Hope Stihl don't do what they did to the 084, limiting what spares are available

I agree with you apart from the 361. It's a decent no faff tough 60cc saw, pick mine up over the 357 most times

It would be the dream Jon. I'm on an old mk3 hilux, but one day I'll own a 80 series? Even if I have to chop the body off and make it a pickup myself. I was looking Into importing a 4x4 dyna recently. Surprisingly not that dear

Whats the best t-shirt for climbing trees?
billpierce replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Climbers talk
I'm not really interested in everyones personal experiences, I want the advice from someone who has 'researched' t shirts on the web really thoroughly -
Sheeeeeet. 3120 out of production also?
-
Looks good. Looks like highly valuable walnut.

Worth trying to hone it with some sand paper mate. Sometimes ally deposit can look alot like worn nikasil

Pretty sure that 5 th hole is the impulse. If you blow down it, it should connect with the carb, either through that pipe or via a hole the carb boot. I have never seen a saw without an impulse like, designs vary but they are and essential part of the engine. It may be stihl changed the design. I.e later 044 have a direct impulse into carb via boot on later cylinders or something. I agree with earlier comments through, I think with no impulse your saw wouldnt be running for a while then stopping, it would be obvious from the start. Have a good look at the various exploded diagrams and you should be able to see what the craic is with impulse lines on different year 044s Good luck

Must be why he knew to use an electric jigsaw. The amount of people that have claimed they used to be tree surgeons that i have worked for is uncanny.

How much were they mate?
-
Nooooooooo! Dont get rid of it you'll regret it forever!
-
Is it moving 5 to 10mm at the tip of bar? If so dont worry about it. Tension the chain until the tip moves up then tighten the nuts and it should be about right
-
I'd hands down get this over the husky or 181. Its decent like
-
I'd say try a shorter eye to eye. Or just make your own
-
Nice one!

PM shavey on here or get in touch with ajs chainsaws in Devon. He may have some or be happy to draw you a template. Good luck!

Also, having done a bit work experience in prisons 15years ago, there is absolutely no way they could be mistaken for a holiday camp. I dread to think what they are like now that they are privatised and even more underfunded

To effectively change a violent/criminal culture does involve significant investment. Whilst having a brutal punishment may be a deterrent it will not be 100% effective. A decade ago my dad taught in young offenders units, back then the reoffence rate was in the 90% region, obviously indicating its ineffective. As someone with a good bit of experience he was of the opinion the probation support was pretty much non existent, youth support in deprived areas (pre offence) was woefully inadequate and funding within prisons was inadequate. Obviously a massive investment in these services is hugely unpopular with many people as its seen as giving nice things to violent little scroats. And I get that, but imho to break a cycle of viiolence/crime in various areas is a worthy investment. Probably worth taking a deeks at how other countries do it. I heard something about Holland not having enough people I their prisons as rehabilitation has been pretty effective.
