Lol that seller is selling about 70 tractors for a friend!
-
Looks to good to be true. But decent feedback . Can always email them to see if they juat give you an address to come see the chipper....if there wanting payment upfront them def a scam I'd say
-
Pretty interested how long does it take to pump up with a bike pump?
-
Thanks just ordered also
-
Thanks Matty, not had any issues with the caber/ meteor ones before but seeing as they are only a 10er or so and it's a pals saw will prob stick a oem one on. Appreciate the offer. Also thanks for all the help everyone! Go team Arbtalk!

You always use a backhandle 201 in a tree?
-
I know I just can't bare spending money there! Will if Steven has something. Generally though is there a husky equivalent of l and s?
-
The lad runs it on huskies finest.

Meybs just my jazzy snaps. Defs a 550 like

Had a good few years carving full time with them....dont get me wrong I think they are great little saws for the money. Just hard thinking of going back to one once you have tasted the sweet sweet amber of a good 200! My local builders merchants was doing a special on them earlier this year were about 130 140 or something. Sounds like your better sticking with 170s than 181s

No scoring but piston ring is well worn. Whats peoples favourite husky parts place?
-
That gasket seal normal on these?
-
Yes but it won't fire even with a bit fuel popped down the spark hole....i guess one thing at a time....
-
I cleaned the filter....so wouldn't explain it not starting but may explain it having worn rings now if you see what I mean. Yes didn't pick up on low comp in the 5 mins I looked over it first time round
-
I got a gwo backhandle 201 for about 200 quid off eBay.....perso ally would rather that than a ms170 ( have gone through 3 of them and a 180)
-
Just checked saw. Not good comp at all. Basically no residence at all, gunsun says 50psi. Pulled exhaust piston doesn't look scored but big black stains on it. Hoping it may just be a piston ring as not much in the way of meteor pistons etc. Air Filter was filthy . Apparently saw not done much work. Will vac test.....
-
Sounds pretty complicated to me....i just put a loop with my normal ddrt prussock round the stem move it up with my flipline.
-
Might be tuned badly. They seem to come pretty lean. Good alternatives to the 170 and 181 is a 200 or 201 backhandle saw. Same weight ish and pro quality build and much more powerful. You won't look back!
-
Did try fuel and carb cleaner and it didn't fire once both on the filter and finally a drop down the cylinder. Still nothing. I will have a play and report back....
-
Haven't checked wiring harness yet. Has a good spark. Not getting wet though.
-
Great thanks. Gave it a quick squirt of carb cleaner just to see if I could get it to fire...no luck. I will pull exhaust/ compression test next. Ta

Stupid mistakes you've made doing tree work
billpierce replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Be a pretty good laugh if you were and old dear...wonder how many tree surgeon she's got with that one -
Pal has given a 550 to fettle. Won't start. New plug, good strong spark, clean air filter, good comp. Before I get started do I need to treat anything differently as it's autotune? Not worked on an autotune before. Is there a reset button on the carb? As it doesn't seem to be fueling.

Ja, het is uitzonderlijk eenvoudig om je te begrijpen, vriend
