  1. Ah yes ofcourse. Forgot how waspy they are.
  2. Ideally you could just borrow a known good one. I had a bother with a saw and the spark seemed good but just went weak sometimes. I guess you could wait til it stops working, pull the plug and check spark then.
  3. Also anyone know about these lombardini engines? They need timing belts doing or are they non interference?
  4. Was the bird sounds off the music or recorded by drone?
  5. Sounds pretty damning. What year / model was it? D22?
  6. How much cutting was involved to open it? Did it need welding/brazing back together? Got me a dremel and not afraid to use it. On a side not I just found my 2511 air filter lying on the workbench. Sheet, guess that's been off for a couple days since I last cleaned it. Sigh
  7. Expect I'll have to get the exhaust off mine now I know it's worth doing
  8. Let us know how you get on with the toiny chain. Thought about doing this but always thought it might be a bit much for using on 35cc saws. Also pita to sharpen!
  9. That's a great offer!
  10. What was the job then? You cant just say all that and not tell!
  11. The ones that export for top dollar are usually the solidest most reliable ones. Pre d4ď Hilux, old shape mazda/rangers are the ones I know of making strong export money. Which is also handy as when your finished with them you can sell them for decent cash as well. 6k should get you something well decent I'd say. I'd be more interested in well looked after low miles pre dpf older pickup than a newer one with alloys and heated seats myself
  12. When I'm subbing I'll be there when asked to. If its radge work and long hours just make sure your paid accordingly. If you dont like starting early, just do what you have agreed then stop! I'm not Into being up before 6. And ideally it'll not be much before 7. but when I am i usually appreciate being up and about that time of day. Breakfast and brew in a nice quiet for once house, sun coming up etc.
  13. Great, looks good. Hopefully this will fill the gap while the arbtalk tree fungi app is down. Nudge nudge
  14. Great watch thanks for sharing
  15. Dont really understand wants going on but you might be able to click the image and follow a link to flickr
  16. 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
  17. Dont think he is the seller just pointing you to a diagram.
  18. Looking good. Did you end up lapping them? Boards look good and tight together
  19. Yes I didn't think the throttle could be doing that. Will check it next time I have a minute
  20. 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?
  21. Generally I dont bother unless a saw is playing up. Keep a spare couple in the truck!
  22. 'For a Toyota' indeed.
  23. Rollers wont hurt it eh? Came with and I changed from steel to plasma as a mate was giving it away.
  24. 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.
