ECHO 2511 Is a STIHL OR SUGIHARA Bar and Chain best ?
billpierce replied to arboriculturist's topic in General chat
? 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. -

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!
-
Looks like you had some fun there matty!
-
That's my house in the trees just down the "road" drift is an easy 12ft at top of hill. No sign of any ploughs for 4 days now
-
Noo Mark. I remember that but hasn't but 2 and 2 together. Hope you get snowed in!
-
Got it good here!
-
Send it to spud?
-
Make sure you post some pics
-
Ace vid btw!

Climate looks acceptable

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.

My smallest first chainsaw
-
I see. The carb bolts had a rubber tube fitted. Sadly perhaps not the issue....thanks anyway handy tip
-
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!

357 bought off my then boss in 2007. Still going strong!
-
Thanks will check that

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

Nice day dismantling then felling the remainder of a nice hollow sycamore. Was one of those ones where you not 100% if ok to fell as fairly hollow and in corner of field with a cesspit so had only on spot to fall in. But worked out fine. Landy winch gave it a help over

Would you say it's highly valuable?
