  1. Yah yah I will use 076 over my 660 for milling Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Yup ms361 .325 on a 9 pin. or ms440 3/8 8 pin Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Reckon it's all personal preference. I get on the handle chisels asap. Much prefer it to chainsawing and often feel I've been wasting time trying to do too much with powertools or saws when it's quicker more pleasant and nicer to use hand tools Flexcut box sets are the shizzle Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. That seems astonishingly cheap. Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. I'd say if your cutting all day a 346 is light and plenty pokey. All depends what your used to though I knocked about the woods for years with a ms361 and thought nothing of it, now I'll stick to a backhandle 200 for as long as i can. Ported 346 if say Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Also check gasket and diagrams are back in correct order. See parts diagrams. Did you remove the l and h screws? If so wind them gently all the way in then out 1 turn for general settings. Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/stihl-ms192t-cylinder-differences.17932/ Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. No idea. But if you look through the parts diagrams you should be able to match the inlet manifold with your one then read the part number off. Assuming you have taken yours off already? Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Just been waiting for 2 weeks for echo parts from abbey Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. Can't see them on his website and every time I search then open the link in arbtalk app it seems to just land on home page. And search function on the app always seems to return either millions of results or nothing. Link? Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Can anyone point me to exactly a winch that will fit Alaskan? Don't want to buy one that I have to change or somehow doesn't work. Thanks Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Any suggestions for spark hole connector or carb connector. Just bought mitty vac 8500. Sorry if already been asked. Ta Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Hunersdorff combi cans fit but its very tight. Think they make the oregon ones so should be the same Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. Spend the day milling a nice big old oak that I climbed and felled a few weeks back. Lovely door sized slabs coming off, and first time I've run a 076 and 084 together. Many much times faster. Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. Ahhh, just seen quite few Little wood worm holes is a kitchen surface I made from a big slab o elm. Best treatment?bit nervous as it's next to sink etc in kitchen so keen for least toxic option. Its got many layers of tung oil on it Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. This one look any good? on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362000136612 Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Reckon therell be a few gooden s about for that money. Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Spud, yes looks like same shenanigans on the 660. Did you split the case to jb weld it? Was it on the gasket? He golf piston rings are OK, but do oem shatter easily too? Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Can see a bit better here. Just to left of crank rod, above bearing dark hole size o yer thumb nail right on the gasket. Thought about epoxy, but would it take the pressure? Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Had pal over to yard to do some alaskan milling together today. His 880 wouldn't start. So checked spark, no spark, checked flywheel gap, no gap flywheel had been battering coil. Set gap reassembled, couldn't find 8mm nut for carb assumed it bounced away into sawdust. Started saw fired up. Yes we thought! But no. No no no no Said nut had magically popped into carb boot, sucked into pot. Siezed not so bad I hear you say? Well might get away with just a new piston, will have to see but pot doesn't look great some pretty nasty burrs. Ah the piston skirt is smashed and the crank is full of chain oil. Oh Goody the piston skirt got popped through the crankcase and into the oil tank. Seems to be a golf piston Ffs! Not good day milling! Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Cheers, will check all of that carb stuff this weekend. Appreciate the help Bill Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. fecked around with this saw again, fuel lines look good, no pinching or splits, cuts and revs fine but either chain creep (fast spin) when saw is level or if backed off til no chain creep, saw dies when hanging on strop. full of fuel. real puzzle. you can alter the revs bypushing/twisting the trigger handle, but i think this is just the carb lever getting pulled slightly. no other ideas? or clues? thanks
  23. confusingly im actually quite impressed with her. there are many videos of similarly unskilled 20 something year old americans doing similar tree "fells" and i dont see what she is doing is any worse. cant help but smile at how pleased she seems. obviously would have been a pretty different story had it not been as successful
  24. Not really understanding the doubling force thing your talking about. Can you explain I different words? Might be wrong but seems that certainly in the first mewp vid the stem that broke was totallyaide loaded as the rope between the other block and the brake tried to get as straight as possible which is why it broke. Obv timber is stronger when the force is directly vertical down a stem rather than bending it. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. Why do you prefer a semi on the 880? Less sharpening ringing up dirty stems? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
