  1. Yep don it for 2 or 3 seasons a while back . It was for a french pharmaceutical firm . It was just the new growth , inch or two . Eventually it did not pay . Maybe its on the up again ??
  2. We put a tawny decoy up a big something ( can't remember what now ) Thing is owls mostly hunt evening to first light . Maybe better with some other decoy like a peregrine or the like . I do think the birds eventually become accustomed to it when nothing happens though .
  3. Yea its a limit stop for the AV . Well spotted
  4. Any wood will burn green if you get a hot enough base to the fire ( bon fire is a good example ) but it is not good for your chimney as has been stated .
  5. Sure its not something that was on the bench and been picked up by the flywheel magnets when you have had the cover off ??
  6. If its got the chain pitch stamped on the bar ( which it has , 3/8 ) then it should have a nose sprocket ! You say its opened up a bit . My guesses would be the sprocket has disintegrated and is ling gone . If it was meant to be a hard nosed bar it would not have the chain pitch stamped on it . It would run any chain of the right gauge ( .058 in you case ) Sooo me thinks you need a new nose sprocket or better still a new bar !
  7. Ok . Side to side , as you suggest could be a narrow kirf chain in a wider bar groove . Most common width of the drive tangs is .050" then .058"then .063" . Another thing could be bar rails worn down / uneven . Try dressing of any burrs with a flat file . Could be oil hole in bar blocked or wrong bar for power head and oil outlet does not line up with hole in bar . Possibly .........
  8. First thing , is the chain sharp ??
  9. Jon don't piss about . He gets it done !!!!!
  10. My missus said when she heard Tom singing Delilah it was all oveer !
  11. Could it be the 12 pumps where you are going wrong ? mine is one or none if its less than a minute or two ....

    My missus said as soon as she heard Tom singing Delilah it was all over !
  13. Don't agree there bud . Mine is a stonker . Best 60cc saw I have ever had .
  14. What a cleaver dude with some vision !
  15. Ok bud , just a long shot . Got no idea why yours is being troublesome then . All I can say is mine is a peach ! Sorry .
  16. Sorry if you know this but just in case you don't ....The ignition is always in the ON position . Don't touch the red lever when starting from hot or you will flood it . it resets to ON when you push it down from choke .
  17. Don't think there is a best one . Not sure but think they might struggle with a 4 way head . Could be wrong !

  19. Usually yellow in coloure me thinks ??
  20. I know what you mean Jon , No worries matey !
  21. They float about like confetti here Jon . Getting some red and occasional black kites as well as hen harriers . Usual kestrels and sparrow hawks . Last summer I saw a hobby take a house martin just over my head . We also get the perigrins and their offspring from the cathedral bell tower in Chichester .....
