Apparently its actually against the law to start a mower up on a Sunday in Guernsey .

Not seen em yet but not been looking to be honest . Black cap warbler on the bird feeder today though .

If it was you and you are the boss then you can do what you like ! If it was my boss/mate he would be blaming me for not reminding him the chipper was on !

As Jon says . Lots of air . Be ready next winter if you keep it dry and aired .

Spud !

How old is it ? if not that old just take it back . If you have had it for a long time / its done a bit , could be a number of things . The idle circuit is working ok obviously but the other jets could be out of adjustment . Air filter could be blocked . Tank vent could be blocked throttle linkage could be a problem , plug could be at fault , . Try the gauze filter in the carb , sounds like there might be some crud in there . Garden or Spud will be along soon to sort it !

How many types of fungi can you find on 1 tree?
Stubby replied to Matthew Corran's topic in Fungi Pictures
Don't care , just want some work ! ....sorry . -
Fingers crossed bud , fingers crossed !

This is what I do cos I got no choice . All my wood is stacked in lengths ( bark side up , like a stack of cord ) in the open . It gets rained on . I split what I can and fill my log stores . Split wood will dry / season quicker than un processed wood but only if you can keep it dry and aired . What I cant store in this way I leave as log lengths to minimize water up take . It works for me but it could be more efficient if I had more storage . does this make sense ?

Assorted blowers and other stuff . Where is all the WORK !!! We are doing a day here and 2 days there . Its grim !"

I think the EPA saws are similar ( just different the stickers ) . Its the California specific saws that are stricter on emissions . So much so that the already " pants " Husky 338 had to have the capacity upped to 45cc to try and get some sort of performance out of it . It was still worse than the 38cc one .

Walnut can be tricky , early sap riser

Ok lets finish this like all the other threads on thias subject . All dry wood burns .
-
If its the one on fleabay the motor is not powerful enough , and its belt drive . My opinion of course but based on experience .
-
That was me I think
-
If you are going to make it like mine with its own engine you will need 25hp min and chain drive not belt .Its the torque that you need . My cone splitter is faster than my hydraulic one until you get a gnarly old bit of something which stalls it . Then you loose all the time you gained cutting it off the cone . Once you get up around 25-30hp there is enough torque to avoid this . If you run one off a tractor then never a problem .
-
Agreed
-
Sounds like low compression . Quits when it gets hot .
-
Yep . Sorted . Mine had as follows new carb and remapped the electricery stuff . There was also a new coil ( to aid hot starting ) and a modified starter pull mech . I think the dodgy ones were all 2012 saws . ( 2012 in the serial plate that is ) 2013 onwards should be all up to date . The thing to remember is ignition is always ON . When starting from hot don't touch the red lever . One pump of primer and de comp in and pull . ( de comp pops out just from compression so I push it in every time I pull it over even if it does not fire. This lessons the strain on the starter pull ) You must set the auto tune as per the book . Do read it ! It is the best 60cc I have used and I am 60 years old !
