  9. Damn right I am. Nearly sold it as spares or repair! Thinking about it i cannot believe I didn't think to check the carb boot immediately! Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Stihl 046

    Yes I have now stopped that. Didn't feel good - like the 84 was pushing the rpm of 76 up and over revving it.mostly it was fine and fast just every now and the felt a bit weird . So looking forward to 84 and 88 next time I m milling. That cannon bar seems extremely durable Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Stihl 046

    Cannon. Have run 2 660s on it with spacers. More recently a 084 and 076. Just got an 880 to go with the 084 but not tried yet. Bought it off ed Robinson who lives near me ( think he first bought cannon bars to uk?) Was setup on 325 with a 9pin on a 660. Also got a dead saw to go on the other end for solo milling which acts as a oiler sprocket Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Well probably a good stretch yes! But after initial stretch all good. When I bought the mill it was on .325 running 2 660s on 9 pins.when I get through the chains I have I'll give 404 a shot. Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Hear what your saying. It's listed as a 440 part though and not a huge difference between 440 and 460. I run my 48'' doubled ended Alaskan on.325 and not snapped a chain yet Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app

    .325 though and I found you need and extra link to accommodate the larger sprocket. On a ms361 anyway Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Boots

    I take a 9.5 in scafells. I'm a 9 on mlst shoes and a hiax 9. If they feel tight if swap them while you can Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Nice one. Good suggestions Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. If I had to get it'll be me pinching the saw up a tree and yanking it to try and sort it. Will be more careful. The boot cost about £2.80 so I bought 2. Very surprisingly cheap. Running like a champ now. I would drill the exhaust but..... No l and h adjust! Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Or maybe he is a rock climber who enjoys climbing his trees and does some pruning with hand saw and is after some advice? Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Not necessary. I sometimes use a cambium saver which is a strip with rings in end that goes over the branch and your rope goes through rings. This reduces friction and wear on rope and tree. But totally nonessential. I o my use if moving through the canopy a lot of up and down on a big thin etc Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
