  1. Anyone know?
  2. 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
  3. When the customer says "gosh, is that all you want for it, that's cheap I pay my cleaner that much". Ffs!
  4. 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!
  5. Use an oil spout for petrol. Lasts longer. Tbh even the stihl hunnersdorf Oregon ones all break too, just not quite as quickly
  6. Or a kit that looked similar
  7. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173253024014 This kit worked for.my 2511
  8. Anyone have a picture of the bit that overlays the operation lights? Mine is broken and come off so other thay glow plug I have no idea what they mean. No help in the manual. Thanks
  9. 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
  10. These look like a good way of getting a proper 4x4 van?http://www.rotodama.co.uk/cab-configs/
  11. 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.
  12. Have just made a paper gasket anyways. Runs good!
  13. 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?
  14. Hard to tell, but why was it even being rigged?
  15. Worth an ask on hpoc.co.uk
  16. I mix filtered wvo with normal chainsaw oil. Makes it tackier and stops caking issues
  17. Def needs to be on 1/4 sprocket running .043 chain
  18. Have both, the echo would get replaced immediately if nicked. The 150 would be replaced with an echo. Loads pokier and smaller/better shape
  19. Personally a 12 or 14 inch quarter pitch bar for your 180 would be a good start and good all rounder. You'll need a 1/4 sprocket also. Cannon and sugi are good. Not used the Oregon or stihl ones
  20. Aye sambo on here had a one for similar money in good Nick also. Meybs sold now
  21. Got a wide mouth litre one of these. Lifetime warranty. On my second. Drinks are consistently too hot to drink until after lunch.
  22. Poor memory for some reason. Just have been an old deal which had them sold with sugi, gb, and an echo bar and a few sprockets of something.
  23. https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product/echo-cs-2511-tes-10-3-8-lo-pro-050-bar-and-chain-combo-x12-available-at-this-price/
  24. Echo 2511 then I reckon. I think if I had bought this as a first saw I'd have been happy as ought. When you need something bigger just get yer ground saw sent up. It'll do everything you through at it up to 10" Cracking deal on them at chainsawbars.co.uk 265 quid or something with 40 bars
  25. Hmmmm will look into that Andrew. Ta
