Ok so things have moved on

 

i changed the fuel rubbers but no change 

 

took it into a service centre and they say it’s the wrong fuel in it. 
 

I was using Aspen2(brand new).

 

Do Stihl chainsaws not like Aspen2? I was told it’s a direct replacement. Or am I opening a can of worms? 

BS .

I have a beat up old strat with bear knuckle " Irish Tour " pick ups in it . It don't make me Rory though ..... 🙂

If you get it running again I would use an Alkylate fuel and then you won't need to run it dry .

I can't really match your photos. A variety of pruning, interested by the 2nd photo which appears to show first pruning, how old can you start without killing the tree?

Napoleon cedar in Tours I think. Villandry gardens, 1100 limes plus others.

When I was a little boy ( 4 or 5 ) I remember my Granddad had 3 or 4 pear trees pleached along the boundary in his back garden . I thought at the time it was very lucky that they grew that way !

Morning all. Farming hat on here today. Off to a monthly farmers breakfast in a nearby cafe, a chance to meet a few like minded people who have severely diminished social skills since we are all working alone.

How civilized 🙂

How is the eye sight Mr stubby 🤞

Pretty  good thanks Les . The sight is brilliant . Occasionally it feels like I might have a bit of dust in it but that is normal apparently and will go in time .

Morning all . Light rain and currently 7c .

I have a felling license got for first thinning a small woodland with roughly half Norway and half Sitka spruce. I have already selected trees that I want to keep, these are painted with an orange band at roughly dbh. My question is what is the best way to mark rack lines and forked trees that will be coming out at first thinnings within the next 12 months or so?

 

Are there specific colours for trees that are to be felled. Would a blaze mark with an axe or billhook be better than a colour? I searched on the site but the threads on the topic are over 10 years old.

Red angled slash type mark round here .

So a bunch of lads turn 40 . Where shall we go to celebrate they say . Lets go to Weather spoons in Uttoxeter  coz the waitresses have big tits and short skirts . 10 years later they say now we are fifty where shall we go to celebrate . Lets go to spoons in Uttoxeter  coz the waitresses are easy on the eye and there is a great selection of beers . Ten years later they go to spoons again coz the food is reasonable and you can have a nice quiet meal with no loud music . 10 years later they are 70 . They decide to go to spoons again coz there is wheel chair access and disabled toilets . 10 years later they say where shall we go to celebrate . One says , I know . Lets go to Weather Spoons in Uttoxeter coz we have never been there before ...

Hello! Following some good advice from @spudulike @adw and @Stubby to not bother doing anything with a Husq 340 just because it was cheap, I failed the weakness test and got hold of an 034 because it was 'really' cheap and didn't 'look' in bad nick at all. Was hoping it'd be a shot fuel line or similar. It's a piston scored on the exhaust side only, and a small amount of transfer inside the cylinder (to my eyes anyway, I had never seen inside one until I looked at this one)... plan is to put an aftermarket cylinder and piston on it, and possibly the crankshaft oil seals since they come with the kit, and see how it goes. If I learn something about chainsaws and engines as a result I'll be happy...

Don't put a new pot and piston on it until you have determined what caused it to nip up in the first place . If it was an air leak and you don't fix it you will be back to square one again .

Any idia on why my stihl 660 isn't running so good..

It's seems to be low on power and gets bogged down easily,  I have an old 450 which easily outperforms it.

Also any opinions on the newer big saws such as the 500i.

I need something reliable with plenty of power for big timber.

Thanks.

Low comp ?
