  1. *micks Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Is that like the metering needle arm? How much to bend it? With that spark plug colour does it need richening? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. After how long? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. If you intend to return it via eBay/PayPal rules do not do any work or even mention you have changed plug etc. I bought a saw that was supposed to be a good runner and which didn't even spark, I lost eBay dispute as they said I had taken it to bits to see if it sparked. Annoying How old is the fuel you are using?is it ok in other saws? Sure you'll get it sorted, prob worth getting someone to have a look at it as could be something obvious that we/you are missing Or just buy mocks 076 and send it back Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. That's quite a long tidy up. Must have been pretty awkward. But yeah, obviously lots of jobs totally unsuited to lone working. Both for practically/safety (any rigging or where there would be a hideous mess)and also cos they can be hellish boring By yourself. I often do bits and bobs by myself in middle of nowhere, going around field edges removing lower limbs, felling etc and really enjoy the simplicity of working alone, but not usually a huge tidy up and usually I'll ask the farmer to be aware that I'm working alone and to be aware of this. If people really experienced, working for themselves and aware of risks, I see no problem with people working solo. However for me alot of the jobs I get would be horrible without a groundsman mostly on account of the tidy up Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Was that a bore cut or has the back cut nearly been finished? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Ha! Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. Thanks, wasn't sure If that was the big or little one.
  9. How cheap was it? Where from? Have you fiddled with carb settings or anything else? Don't fret, it will work eventually!
  10. Try leaving it with plug out till all nice and dry, then try again with no throttle lock.
  11. Hire one?
  12. ....and what sort of chain catcher should it have? L shaped one or straight across type? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Also I got some issue with my dawgs. Only one type listed on parts diagram but I got 1 huge and 1 normal size?this is unacceptable (saw came like this) so anyone know which part no the big one is? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. This filter fit for the bin? Looks like there may have been some felt on this at some point? Or its very clogged and I blew it off with airline? Anyone know? Is it just supposed to be mesh or mesh and finer stuff? Thanks Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

  16. Get a teenie makita dcs230t which is ok, but occasionally get a bit chain creep, this is pretty random but usually only when been used for a while. Have turned the s screw (only one) down a bit but then it cuts out when dangling off a strop after a minute or two. Also noticed that it's exceeding it's max rpm (11.5k) sometimes up to 11.8 or 12k. Can't seem to alter this on the s screw? Any advice? Also how to tune a bg55 blower?same one screw tuney thing. Ta Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Yes they do work different, I think you can just lock the throttle with a wee side button near handle? I would do as has been suggested. Tip saw and pull over til fuel stops passing out spark plug hole. Probably it's flooded of you've been pulling it over for a while. These saws are knackers and need to be pulled with conviction. It may help if you pull it over softly til you feel it nearly biting, then let the cord back in and give it a good heave. Watch your self as you'll be starting it with throttle lock and no chain brake. Generally if you can smell fuel out the exhaust you've flooded it. Sure you'll get it running once you get the technique. Did you have to pull it over for ages on choke before it fired? If you can get it to run with throttle lock on I would just let it do that for a bit til it's warmed up then click it off and let the revs fall slowly rather than straight down to idle. Also where did saw come from? Good luck Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. **** doesn't just fly round the sides if them? Look good Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Horribley smelly and rub forehead after a really sweaty day
  20. How quickly do people find the perspex glasses\goggles gey trashed when climbing? Never tried it but always get **** in my eye. When carving I use goggles both perspex and mesh kind but mesh is irritations nd perspex always steams up\scratches. Any magic solutions? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Yup seal ends. What might you use them for? Hard to say what thickness to mill them if you have no idea what they for..I wouldn't bother leaving them in woods until lighter. You will need some stickers for storing yet boars though. If I have enough idea what I will do With them I mill at 10ft long ish and between 1 3/4inch and 3inch. Watch for shake in end grain and mill accordingly. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. I don't wear no gloves, feel like I can't do things properly with gloves on and get on my nerves. Good for thorns though. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. Worth having a good shop about before you do courses also, seems to be a huge variation in price and some places have part funding/grants (unsure if still the case). Also well worth having someone take you out for a bit climb before doing your climbing ticket as some folk quickly realise that working from ground suits them very much better. Enjoy it!

  24. Alaskan should come with a a few spare nuts. Do not overnighter, being stainless/ally they thread easy. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. Where are you milling? If at home\in yard just give it a pop, if out in middle of woods, I would start it up, check it idles ok, clean air filter, check spark plug colour and gap (coffee brown not white) ideally cross cut some big butts check it's going ok.
