    Delighted you have kept it old school. Was about to suggest a mk4 DC hilux for sale near me with 80k fella wants 3k for it. But reckon you have a belta there. Pics? Take it you have seen that landcruiser on Ebay? Low miles but £10k or something daft. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283264663246 Hilux: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/298032071044003/

    Came back to this, started first pull, ran fine for 10mins. Restarts fine hot or cold. Must be a gremlin somewhere but seems fine the now

    Just whacked a cheap 13quid coil in that arrived today. Appears to be running normally again. Tried adjusting flywheel gap on the OEM one that was giving me bother and ended up with no spark, even when set back up to normal business card gap! So guess it was on the way out. Couldn't bare to spend nearly 90quid on oem coil if they only last a few years! Could early failure be linked to flywheel or anything else?

    They are great saws and much more powerful than a 365. Mine always starts reliably which is more than I can saw for some stihls and Huskies I have!

    Rye chainsaw oil is well tacky. But tbh I stick all my oilers to max when carving. More oil on the tip means less wear to bar and chain which happens pretty fast with carving bars. Not usually much oil on a carving by the time you've hit it with a sander or whatever I have found.

    Got my monies worth out of thissun
  10. billpierce
    I'd say so yes, but as rob says getting set up can take surprisingly longer
  11. billpierce
    Yes, I'd put the bigger saw on the cutting side
  12. billpierce
    Rob, have you tried it with an old like a 076 and 880? I stopped doing this as when I let go the 076 throttle it was still going, and sounded to me like it was screaming. This is in the cut....be interesting to know how you found it. My preference was for saws more closely matched I.e a 88 and 66 or 076 and 050 etc

    Many many thanks

    cheers spud. dont know where i pulled woodchuck from, long day. perhaps that 361 you mentioned was mine? you did my coil about 3 years ago, so would be pretty disappointing if its failed again. i'll try giving it a bit more gap. thats pretty good news if that sorts it.
  16. billpierce
    how do you ignore user? cant see the setting. my life is about to get better
  17. billpierce
    My beloved 361 started playing up today. Kept pulling the starter out my hand and is behaving like an 064. Starting has really hard and seems to fire early and RIP the starter out your hands. Did manage to start it but didn't feel like it was revving up proper job. Piston is well. There is a slight playing in the flywheel woodchuck. Perhaps it has slipped slightly. Tried adjusting it and was easy to pull for a few pulls. Then back to tough. Disappointingly it seems the woodchuck key is forged into the flywheel rather than a replaceable part. So there goes 80quid. Anyone got any advice or anything to check before I shell out? Turning the flywheel the bearing did feel a bit lumpy like a 50p rather than super smooth, again dont know if that's super bad?

    Aye, thought the one pictured was a different one? Thought it was due to be a 35cc one or something? Meybs I got confused.

    Any news on this one?
  20. billpierce
    If you end up getting a tirfor style definitely buy a 4t ratchet puller cheapo Chinese winch too. They are 25quid and I will do alot to use that rather that getting the tirfor out. They are excellent tools but a pig to heave about setup.

    Please don't eggs

    Cheers for the thoughts. I'll persevere with the geckos a bit longer. Just hate that feeling once you start thinking your going to gaff out all the time.
  23. billpierce
    Some comparison pics. I will probs have a go at sharpening the geckos but it sounds like it's just a stance thing. The kliens have a much steeper angle on the spike which looks to me like more of my weight will be pushed into the tree once you have stuck them in. Hopefully i will get used to them!
  24. billpierce
    Nah didn't say mine are sharper! Just that I don't gaff out in them and they aren't sharp. Or that's what I meant anyways.
  25. billpierce
    Been on ye olde kleins for a decade or so, got some used ally geckos recently as was curious if more comfort could be found. Yes, more comfortable but gaffes out about 6 times of a wee holy dismantle so swapped back to kleins for rest of day which I have never sharpened in 10years. Do I A) just need to grow a pair and stick at it, stance is different and I'll get used to it. Seem to recall gaffing out alot when I had a go on steins x2 and some treehogs, so could def just be me. B) need to sharpen them. If so please point me to useful video/thread or give an incredible description of how Thanks
