  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. You live nearby or getting delivered?
  9. Haven't really started yet eggs, still waiting for garage to do a few things for mot etc. But getting things together, just bought a pure wine wave invertor 600w and have 2x 170ah lead crystal batteries. Will get some solar on the go also......hoping to get to Morocco with family in feb via ssspain and Portugal so got a few months to get sorted. Also eggs, gotthat 811 workshop manual from ma pal if you need me to send any copies etc?
  10. 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

    Potentially the one witha screw in the end is your tank breather rather than impulse?
  12. Sorry, lad on here rob d at chainsawbars.co.uk sells them have fun!
  13. I'd say that would be fine 084 and 660 was a ok combo for me. Can get a bar adapter plat from CSB
  14. 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
  15. 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!

    More oak

    Looks pretty tasty!
  17. Look forward to trying this out. Do you think this may sort the only starting with throttle on issue they seem to develop?
  18. Why on gods earth would stihl do that?
  19. Whoever told you that has never done any milling. Unless you planning on doing a a ton of boards for cladding or something?
  20. Is it spliced? What size is it? https://www.honeybros.com/Item/NOTCH_X-Rigging_Ring https://www.gustharts.com/arbpro-rigging-rings-p357
