  1. You'll love the echo 2511 after the makita 230. I liked my 230 founding very reliable just slightly underpowered. Well worth putting a 10inch .43 wee brand chain on it. Pretty sure I have a 1/4 sprocket for 230t somewhere
  2. It appears to be a twiddler of some kind. The brass bit on the end turns out a few turns. If you have pumped the pump and the twiddled it out there is a small oily squirting sound from within but nothing seems to happen. I shall investigate further in the morning
  3. Yes pal have a new OEM piston and cylinder and a used good condition cylinder which spud has popped a helicoil in one of the exhaust threads, so that should be fine.
  4. No not tried this. Will have a go. Sure though if there is a pump there is another way?
  5. Have this ram on back of horsebox I'm converting to camper. The ram works good on the buttons but the manual pump does nothing ( moves ok but doesnt lift), and I cant see the usual release twiddler like what as on the tipper trailer I had. Any clues from anyone?
  6. Nice one!very merry lunge
  7. Annoyingly robs vid didnt sort mine. Tried tuning it quite a few times. Always starts well and revs up well fast but, often needs starting with throttle on and will only idle for 30seconds or so. Does my head in a bit as it would be a total belter if it didnt do that.
  8. I generally find I burn a surprising amount of logs jan and Feb and I'm nearing the middle of my stash, so anticipating running low. Made 2 new stores last year so hard to tell as yet if they are big enough. I suspect we aren't quite half way through the burning season yet
  9. Have a 9" kwikchip 222 diesel turntable chipper for sale if your half Interested send me a PM. Its 2900quid.
  10. Pulls like a train = atleast the engine works
  11. Probably last longer and have more torque as well
  12. Nothing that exciting for me, but splashed out and got my boy a new pickup. Nice old hilux. Already smashed both wing mirrors off
  13. Yes pita to sharpen but worth it. Stihl 10" chains are a tenner from l and s
  14. Pees me off the amount of tedious tarring with the same brush thing that goes on often on arbtalk. Yes dickheads that steal stuff is awful and needs addressing. However definitely not all gypsies are thieves, in my experience many are honest and I trust their word more than others. Dont give a monkeys if people decide to get unprofessionals in to top their Connies
  15. Cant remember how wide you said it is but cuts real nice. You could defs make to with a 66 on a big bar should you want to. Obvs good excuse to buy an 88 though.
  16. You can buy them with carb adjust on. Replaced a few on ms170s a while back and made sure I had the ones with h and l jets. Prolly got a stash somewhere if you want me to post you one?
  17. If you leave your harness on when on the ground it doesnt count anyways
  18. I suspect it's a more rounded long term view of his attitude and approach. Many people including me swear on here from time to time, some people however just seem to go out of their way to wind people up and generally trash literally every thread they're involved in. Really brings the forum down imo. I tried just blocking posts from some users but doesnt seem to work on the app. Have got used to just swiping past them, but tbh would rather I didnt have to. I guess there will always be debate over barring people, but i reckons this is a good thing and forum will be better off for it. Thank God matlock has self censored himself off somewhere else.
  19. I often seen to clip myself onto branches with mine. Really annoying, but also real handy. Wire gate removed? Who does this and do they rain pulleys down frequently?
  20. Does seem pretty slow, I used a non feed lumag recently and it seemed to chip much faster than that.
  21. Aye the 361 only gets hot if your logging stuff really. And then it's too hot without gloves. Still good though.
  22. Man that's rough. Often wondered with is Bobby d covers etc whether he knows it's funny or is serious? Hard to tell
  23. All time Christmas favourite
  24. Pleased you got sorted! Satisfying
