Ok Robs back, i thought it was quiet! heres another easy one then its going to get very hard. trees found in the uk are too easy

Here is one for you.

I have also had parrot hands free , they are very good, you have to know what your doing to fit one your self tho. I would recomend having it fitted by a pro unless you kow you can do it.

Is this a Norfolk Island Pine? Araucaria excelsa

Yes at first all the latin names of trees seem very complicated and over whelming but after learning about the different meanings they all cleverly relate to some aspect of the tree to the point where you can almost guess some (well nearly:001_smile:)
-
I would put my money on this being = casuarina equisetifolia, other common names being, whistling pine, australian pine, beefwood and she oak mentioned before.

What about this one. must be bored.....

Good point Al, fortunatley I have already experienced this and checked first. I am sure my problem is low compression, probably down to light seize as mentioned above. Going to strip down over xmas and fit new rings if its recoverable. thanks

I have an MS 441 that starts ok an will run and cut for a short time then cuts out and will not start again. First thing that i thought initially was the coil breaking down as it got warm and loosing spark. So i attached my ht lead with the indicator window on it which showed a strong spark. Then it occurred to me that the compression felt poor when pulling the starter cord. I havnt got a pressure tester so cant do that but It miserably fails the test of holding it up with the cord- the saw falls down quite easily. So I am now thinking piston rings. So the question being: Can worn piston rings/ low compression give these symptoms of not starting when warm? In my mind I would have thought that with such an issue it would be hard to start when cold, then if you did manage to start-- the compression would improve as the piston warmed and expanded. what are your thoughts please Matt

Your question is still not answered Mike! they may not state LOLER trained but they say competent person which if you can argue you are competent and have a reputable knowledge for inspecting equipment used in lowering and lifting operations then maybe. I dont know either and if i wasnt so tired id look further into it- maybe tomorrow. regards
-
Thas perfectly right, it is your responsibility to check your equipment eveytime you use it and if you feel something is not right then you dont use it. But the HSE state that your climbing kit which you use for work should be inspected and the findings recorded/action taken every six months (climbing kit) and 12 months lowering kit etc by a qualified/tained LOLER inspector who knows what he is looking for, and to what condition it can be deemed safe.

I would say Oak, its so hard to tell when you cant hold it and feel weight and texture of the wood.

Well done V!
