Sygic truck gps app may he reasonable. I'd road test it in a car mind

Try a knut knot. Had the same as you 10mm op with 13mm yale or new England . Hitch needed setting every time. Someone suggest a knut. Works well not looked back. The op will bed in after a bit -
Eggs, had some interesting times with the 811 in Europe with the sat nav directing me into extraordinarily narrow one way roads in medieval Italy etc. Total nightmare. The Garmin I had which had a truck setting was mildly better but basically totally unreliable. Id get on some trucker forums find out what the hgv drivers use.

Anyone know a James Heely? Wiltshire /west Sussex
billpierce replied to billpierce's topic in General chat
aye, had a couple chats on the phone, got an invoice, seemed decent. usually you get the gist of someone.....he may still be a decent bloke just dead busty stressed etc. or i got done. after a few weeks i managed to get in touch with him and he said there had been a cock up and sent saws to wrong person and he would refund me...... irriating scenario. dont need any lectures from anyone on internet buying etc, cant really be arsed to go into details etc. anyways if anyone knows him please send details of give him a really good dead leg from me -
Had a drawn out deal in buying a couple saws off him. Not getting any response from him or his partner. Seems on the phone like a decent fella. Could really do with any contacts pm'd either work or home , email , address if anyone knows him. Says he owns/works for acorn tree services. Who knows. Thanks to anyone that can help

Mine will start with the brake on. Just either get a bit chain creep/ won't idle on the strop/ won't start without a bit throttle. Not the end of the world I know as pretty easy to start/pull but would be nice if it just behaved like a normal saw. Still seem to pick it up over the ms 150. Which isn't a twat to start. What's annoying as said it only seems to do it after 1/2 an hour or so, so hard to sort it at home in the workshop.
-
Anyone ever get to the bottom of the 2511 needing a bit throttle when warm starting? Kinda pisses me off that it needs that. Have tweaked the L screw and the tick over a bit to no avail. Ferkin loving it apart from that

Looks like just a farm jack with the top taken off. Used one recently when disking up a big beech. Handy as anything. Stuff didn't roll about but it was big . Farm jacks are about 45quid like

I often ask what the top budget is. Stating clearly the more time I get to carve the better and more detailed it will be. 3k should get you a very decent amount of carving time id say
-
Thanks. Had a look through that but as it never mentioned it in the carb settings page I assumed it wasn't it there. Appreciate you looking it up
-
Thanks!

Anyone know?

Oh and the other one is people insisting on cutting brash with my 18'' saw when there is a perfectly good 12'' to use then blunting it and not telling me
-
When the customer says "gosh, is that all you want for it, that's cheap I pay my cleaner that much". Ffs!
-
The kit was cheaper than the tuning screw driver from echo which was about 20quid or something ridiculous. My local echo man also said he wasn't supposed to sell it. Really I don't know what echo are thinking!
-
Use an oil spout for petrol. Lasts longer. Tbh even the stihl hunnersdorf Oregon ones all break too, just not quite as quickly
-
Or a kit that looked similar

Lidl / Florabest cordless saws - anyone chanced one?
billpierce replied to djbobbins's topic in Chainsaws
The florabest electric sharpener I was given nearly new lasted about 4 chains before the plastic thread that holds the disc on fashed itself and now it vibrates heavily and sharpens on the piss. Not overwhelmed by it's quality. So personally wouldnt bother with other florabest kit -
These look like a good way of getting a proper 4x4 van?http://www.rotodama.co.uk/cab-configs/

When a saw is in bits I find it impossible to do anything else other than try fixing it! I get weirdly into it even if got more pressing things to do.
-
Have just made a paper gasket anyways. Runs good!
-
A 346 bought as spares. Decent comp and after adjustment of coil decent spark. Won't run. Found the impulse line weren't pulsing. On further investigation one of the pot bolts was sheared and others were loose. Pretty filthy. Managed to get the sheared one out when pot was off. Gasket is knackered. Pot and piston look good. Can I rebuild with no gasket just a bit of squidge?

Hard to tell, but why was it even being rigged?
