    Straight swap. You may want a new gasket in case your old one breaks. Worth finding the cause of the seizure. Some good in-depth vids on YouTube. Donnyboy is pretty good. Make sure piston is correct way and be careful with piston rings when placing cylinder over. Meteor are decent non original parts.

    ? You'll have to order 2 with northern if you want free delivery then wait for a fortnight. If you buy to with l and s it's 9.80 a chain or something of stihl ones. Or was last time I ordered. There is usually some other bits I need so the few quid postage isn't an issue.

    The ms150 chain northern arb do is 2 quid cheaper than the stihl ones from l and s engineers.
  4. billpierce
    That a stihl piston?
  5. billpierce
    L and s engineers do them bars and tiny stihl chains well cheap

    Just near Allendale mark, up the hill from ninebanks....about 14 houses on this road and no ploughs all week! Pretty unusual they are normally slightly over efficient with the ploughs!

    L and s engineers are good for stihl parts. Plenty bits available for 075. I run normal 404 semi chisel chain on my mill. Oregon milling chain is also good. Speak to Rob at chainsawbars.co.uk as he will advise you well.

    Sounds irritating. I sometimes ask my garage for a pre mot so they basically mot check it let me know what needs sorting I get it sorted then mot it and it def passes. Pretty easy solution is say.

    I see. The carb bolts had a rubber tube fitted. Sadly perhaps not the issue....thanks anyway handy tip
  19. billpierce
    Aye there is a sort of plastic tube that pushes on over the h and l screws. What s it for?

    Id use larch, will withstand damp and weather much much much better and is pretty light. Cedar lap boards would also be dead light and durable but perhaps not a choice for structure. You'll find larch easily. But make sure it's European ( I believe Japanese is less durable?) With cabins it's inevitable they will leak at some point in their life or will have condensation/dampness so personally i would stick to something durable.

    Me too, the one I have is taking quite a bit of fixing though.....looking forward to it being reliable enough to take out without a back up saw!

    Right so have vac and pressure tested this saw, fitted a new oem carb kit and done a thorough carb clean. Fitted all new gaskets and carb boot and fuel line ( one of the ones with with moulded in tapered bit....how is that supposed to go?). Mostly the saw is fine, revs and cuts well but is occasionally a rigjt bellend to start. Wants full choke then fires and cuts out won't rev. If anyone knows these saws well and can point me in the rigjt direction of be well pleased. Ta
