Had my clamps made by local fabricator, gave them 7 years flat out work and then 5 part time. No problems at all but they are a bit heavier than the off the shelf types I've picked up. I've got Hayes chains on them, great chains but the springs are starting to get a bit slack now. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Hi Barrie Interesting article will be good to see what the details actually are. If this turnaround by stihl means that dealers can once again offer parts online then I'm happy, We have no stihl dealership here meaning I was struggling with parts for my stihl machines and had been contemplating selling them in favour of husqvarna.

A mate has just bought a husky 372 and got me to take a look at it for him, the saw seems in reasonable nick externally but I'm suspicious about the cylinder, its just too clean, looks as if its a recent replacement. If its an OEM part what markings would it have on it, (makers names etc) as this seems to have none. Also its holding revs a little bit after throttle release so I guessing an airleak as well.

Watched the highlights last night, can see what you lot mean about the commentary, those guys just didn't seem interested, some of the worst ever! Couple that with trying to fit too much into an hour and you end up with something that just isn't worth watching. Hope Cals OK but I won't be watching again to find out.

Looks good but I really don't see the point. I've cut sub 12" using my 660 and 30" bar with no problems, anything less than this wouldn't really be worth milling. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Had this once, was a new Carlton chain, binned it and put the old Stihl chain back on and all was well. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Hi Justin Wow that's an old thread! Had to re read it just to remind myself what I did. Unfortunately if you've read the thread then you've read my whole expertise with these systems so I can't really help you I'm afraid, don't even know if the TW25 shares the same system as the county. If it does all I can suggest is get the top off the back end (on the county it was just a case of remove the seat and then unbolt the cover) and then just see what you can see, that's pretty much what we did.

Twaddle wasn't quite what I thought at the time he said it 😁 As I said I won't be going back in there, some dealers are better than others Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yes it is, hunting with more than 2 (I think) dogs is illegal. So if you get a dogs head version just make sure you only use 2 at a time 😁 Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

I was told by a dealer the other day that if I bought a 550xp that I would have to use husky chain oil or the warranty would be void and also that there was a sensor in the tank so when plugged into a laptop will tell husky what has been used! I had never been in the shop before and will never go back. Some dealers are a wee bit better than others. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Couple of questions about building my new log store.
bobh replied to mr_magicfingers's topic in General chat
I asked the way question some time back http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/42932-log-shed-air-gap.html In the end I went for 6" boards with 2" gap, this was on a very exposed site and works very well I've since built another one with 2 1/2" board and 2 1/2" gap which is more sheltered and also seems to be working well. One tip is to use screws rather than nails to fix the boards so it is easy to move them if needed. I'd always use pallets on the floor to get some air circulating under the logs, you can always change the size of gap on the pallets so its better to walk on.
