  1. I am pretty careless when it comes to fueling. I fill my 5l cans with whatever funnel comes to hand first, not often with a gauze and rarely clean inside. I do not wipe around my fuel cap before opening ( heard some people keep a special paint brush in their combi for this?). Their appears to be some muck inside fuel tanks floating around always. I have never had a blocked fuel pickup filter ever. Better things to worry about I reckon. Aspen sounds excellent. When I left the country for 6 months I wazzed some in all my saws etc. But I have never had a problem with pump fuel going stale. I do use ethanol shield which you sling 7ml in 5l ( £10 for 300ml) which says increases fuel life to a year or so.....probably snake oil but costs so little. I really enjoyed the aspen I did have, less smelly was the main thing for me!
  2. Agree I would say there us a broken wire or poor connectuon on the earth/stop switch somewhere meaning it can't switch off. Got a multimeter?
  3. Sounds very fair. If I needed one id pull yer arm off!
  4. Go on and make an ignore person one Steve too
  5. What cc is the timberpro?
  6. Always been pretty bad with remembering fungus id.. trying more to get my head around it......any help appreciated. Honey fungus? Obv a puffball but which one?stump puff ball? On a healthy looking syc Dryads saddle? On a healthy looking syc ( different)
  7. It really is incredible isn't it.....to be fair this thread has discussed brexit a bit and not just immigration. But know exactly what you mean.... I encourage everyone sick of the immigration debate to ignore it and get other threads going- don't be put off arbtalk, it's awesome still, just liberally use the ignore button if a thread is doing your head in!
  8. Surely some one was having a laugh? Is there a non autotune 576 you can just nick a carb off then?
  9. Best not to I think. If your not firm with them at first they'll never learn. Seriously though I think you can create a glaze or something on cylinder if you pussy foot about when new.
  10. I bought a backhandle ms201 from a tree surgeon who said all his lads use them in the tree as he reckons it's loads safer.....id never even considered not using a top handle til then
  11. Personally I can't stand it when people immigrate from another county into Northumberland. They've never even paid council tax here before then expect a school for their kids. Sometimes they may work for less too also I hear. Everyone should just stick to within a few miles of their birth place
  12. I'd be into leaf blower ticket if part of the training included firing it Into your open mouth test
  13. Relieved to to hear not everyone doing waste carriers licence.
  14. Right enough that was another appauling accident......they sounded similar enough for me to assume it was the same.....jeez
  15. I assumed this was the same accident?
  16. Never stop never stopping
  17. What's the point in it? Why do they bother making you have one?
  18. Sounds sensible. I usually just swear and fire stuff around the workshop for a bit
  19. If the bark has been rolled on mud hack it off of its clean just lash on. Mush sap wood won't hurt the mill. The oak won't have rotted any 2 a couple years..... Enjoy! And get a winch for yer mill
  20. Scares the shit out of me reading this and knowing how easily done an accident like this would be. Just a moment's lapse in concentration......sad times
  21. https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/cylinder-with-piston-47-mm-for-stihl-ms362-ms362c-part-no-1140-020-1200.html You may only need a piston depending on how damaged your cylinder is.....they a pretty tough. Have a read on the what's on my bench today...alot on there about cleaning up cylinder. You will need to find the cause of the sieze so it doesn't happen again!
  22. Aye mighty hiab!
  23. What do you sell 54 cans at?
  24. Think last time a talked to Rob d about it he said speed difference with and 880 on lo pro and 404 was pretty marginal also....
