    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!

    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.

    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

    Had to die grind my exhaust hole below the deflector a bit bigger then rattled 8mm drill around in the cat til it was all gone. With a bit tune up runs much better on larger diameter and not noticeably louder neither

    Thanks rob. When you day back the screws off to 0 what do you mean? Mine wouldnt run at all with the screws wound right in, but this is pretty normal for any saw. I followed the instructions starting with the screws wound out to 1.5 each and seems much better. Still only starts with your finger on the throttle sometimes though.

    Aye had to cut quite a few within a hairs breadth and pick them out by hand. Also beware of the tiny bits of dead wood on tips. Thankfully managed not to twat anything.

    I'm jealous of your toys. Especially the land cruiser. Really noticing my 2.4 na in the hilux with chipper and full load of late.

    I'd get on the phone to chainsawbars and sure they can sort you out with a sprocket. Cheaper than new bar and chains anyways

    Nice subby day, big oak with a conservatory, tile roof and green house on 3 sides of it. The lad is planning to get the cs100 up the front steps and through the house, or drag brash through garage. Lost the light at end of day so stem remains.

    Might be remembering wrong but thought rob d told me that stihl do not make a lopro sprocket for 660 it's a GB rim sprocket required

    Pleased your impressed with the morso. Generally I have also been very impressed with them also. Liked the look of the 2b which is similar to the 602. I'm after a project stove for the new camper if you want to flog the 602?

    Impulse Hose

    billpierce replied to Koba's topic in Chainsaws

    Potentially the one witha screw in the end is your tank breather rather than impulse?

    Sorry, lad on here rob d at chainsawbars.co.uk sells them have fun!

    I'd say that would be fine 084 and 660 was a ok combo for me. Can get a bar adapter plat from CSB

    I have run an 076 and 880 on a double end mill. Power wise excellent but I noticed when you stopped throttling the 076 the clutch was still engaged I.e being driven by the 880 and was pushing the revs of the 076 very high. Have stopped doing this now. 076 was excellent milling by itself of with similar lower rpm saws, but didn't think the 88 and 76 was a good combo. Better to have a 66 and 88 or better still 2x 88's was my conclusion. Or at least 2 saws with vaguely similar max rpms

    Interesting idea. Gives me the Willies thinking about using one. Not done much rock climbing etc but coming straight from arb kit to Rick climbing kit I had difficult trusting it all! So light and thin!
  22. billpierce
    Cos it'll still be working in 10 years

    More oak

    billpierce replied to kav's topic in Milling Forum

    Looks pretty tasty!
  24. billpierce
    Look forward to trying this out. Do you think this may sort the only starting with throttle on issue they seem to develop?
  25. billpierce
    Why on gods earth would stihl do that?
