On a biggish job to take out 28 decent Connie's. Lad from premier came past said they were shutting the road to do some lighting and more than happy for us to crack on. Just after lunch we realised they had blocked both ends of road. So managed to flop 4 out one after the other. Left my phone at home so only got vid from groundies phone. Pretty pleased with the time saving

Dont think he is the seller just pointing you to a diagram.

Looking good. Did you end up lapping them? Boards look good and tight together
-
Yes I didn't think the throttle could be doing that. Will check it next time I have a minute

A hateful bg55 blower. Wouldnt start after running fine. Had a fiddle today, was completely hydro locked when I looked at it. Cleaned that all out, cleaned carb, seemed ok, meter arm and needle not sticking, found loose engine mount bolt. Refitted. all back together. Ran for few seconds then cut out. Seems to be a lot of fuel knocking about. Throttle cable works but a bit coarse could it be just that sticking on slightly?

Generally I dont bother unless a saw is playing up. Keep a spare couple in the truck!

'For a Toyota' indeed.

Rollers wont hurt it eh? Came with and I changed from steel to plasma as a mate was giving it away.

Ah think it's good if you want to learn how to put a saw together. Personally I'd rather buy a spares or repair decent saw and spent time and money fixing that up so there is a chance you'll have something that will be long lasting, but each to their own.

What a video! Did he just demonstrate that they oil?

Temporarily forgotten name. I have asked a pal who should remember.

Also depends a bit how often you work for them? Odd days here and there I would expect to charge more. Steady days every week might well be a bit less.... Good luck getting anyone to agree on subbies rates on here! Good Groundie with aerial rescue and a saw 100 to 125 quid a day. Good climber with plenty kit and saws 150 to 200 per day depending on how much a beast of a day it is. But you know it'll vary depending on where in country you are, what competition is and what people are used to paying.

Just got round to fitting a winch. Will get a splice on the plasma when I get a chance.

Correct , its not easy. I will be in touch before I go and bare you in mind if I come across anything else

Get a ms361, pop a 9 pin 325 sprocket on you'll never look back

I'd just wait until your handle breaks and then send it back for a free fix

Yes, they a decent for sure. Feel a bit heavier than 440 but def gutsier. Few threads on them on hear already. Rad more tucker doing them cheap atm. There has been a recall on brake handles and I think the one above which is new on Ebay wont have been done but this is foc

Second proper one seems fine. Its Only come out to play for a few days so far though

School Children getting paid for work experience
billpierce replied to Darrin Turnbull's topic in The Lounge
I did mine with a tree surgeon/ wood Carver when. Had a belter of a time. Dragged branches for 2 weeks and had good craic. Had to pay to go his insurance, had a go and spiking up a stem of two. Watched some class big fells. Didn't get a penny, but had a belter of a time. Turned out to have been an effective work experience. -
I bought a used one. They did the recall no bother didn't even ask. Bit of a fanny on but got sorted eventually. Tbh the part they changed seemed totally fine before anyway. But the new price from radmore isn't that much dearer is it?
-
Pleased you at least have recovered this!

Did you blow the extra 25quid?
