  1. Yeah they aren't being shy with those chogs Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Only ask cos there is one for 70quid for sale! Thanks will think on this. Also been offered a 150 near me used which will be cheap enough. Would like to have a shot on one really but not seen any for sale near me. Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Not tried either of those configurations and not used the sequioa only the Navajo which is horrendously uncomfortable. So far so good. I will report back after a few more weeks of using it Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. This one ate a screw from butterfly. Piston was shot but cylinder looks ok. And is smooth. Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. Yes have a spare cylinder that should be usable if you got a piston. Link to new oem cylinder kit for 55 quid. https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/genuine-cylinder-piston-assy-for-stihl-ms170.html Good luck. You will need some gasket sealent Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. What caused the piston to get like that? No 2 stroke oil? Check the butterflies on the carb. Looks to me like some metal has got I to cylinder and crunched piston. Maybe the screw on carb butterfly. Give me 2 mins I'll check if I have a usable 170 cylinder. Chinese ones are wick. Meteor are good. These saws are only 170 quid new so I def wouldn't buy a new oem cylinder Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Does The cs2600tes compare to 2511 or totally different kettle if fish?. Can't stretch to a new 2511 just yet. But Interesting to hear your reckon it's close to the 360tes. ( which I live and seems to come out to play more than the 200 these days) Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. I meant sorry I couldn't help before not could! Hope you get sorted or something works out Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Yeah get one you mean. Can't explain/ don't understand the physics. Obvs less stress if sling round a nice round object like a tree. Hopefully someone can explain or maybe we're just being thick Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. Yeah pretty quite just now on here. Soz could help Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. I get what you mean. If you were lifting a weight with a metal eye with the sling doubled going through the eye, I understand that the sling is doubled and each length is under less stress but at the point that it folds around the eye must be under most strain. I.e where it is single. That what your on about? Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Good ballsy stunt fell. Well Done! Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Just been to Tesco and swapped 50 raisins for 100 sultanas, can't believe the current exchange rate! Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. How does it compare in cutting ability to ms150? Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. Drt . Prussock. Can't get the hang of hitch climber. I'll get another ring ta Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. Just been given a harness to try. So singing rock. It only has one big ring on bridge. My dragonfly has 2. Am I best clipping a 2nd crab onto the same big ring or just straight onto bridge? Or does it not matter? Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Hot shizzle! Everyone's at it! Here is another left handed tool in disguise. I just tried using it with my right hand and I can't get to grips with it Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Honestly I'm slightly hurt that I've never been in invited to one of these left handed drinking games bbqs Just noticed that I accidentally got a left handed Makita mug. No wonder I have been spilling my tea mug Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Well you'll all be pleased to know that the carb boot had split. Causing an erratic idle and revs changing when held at a different angle. Haha!
  20. Even if I search for the exact thread title on the app it still does not find it "Tuning carbs with no L and H screws" For example Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Your a funny man mark. Bet they can remove chainsaw clutches correctly though Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. I found ripping chain to me negligibly faster but see leaving a smoother finish. Sharpness is the key with both Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. On my app going to the browse forum tab before searching Improves results. I can't see the option like that in the app Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. Also if anyone knows how to get these type of harnesses not to crush yet cajones I'd appreciate the tip. So far it's ok. Not as comfy for sitting around in bit easy leg movement than dragonfly Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
