  1. one thing I forgot to say was I had the next up hotter plug fitted . This was on Husky technical s recommendation for hot starting . .
  2. Once ( if you do ) get it running you need to set the auto tune by cutting the full length of your bar quite heavy in some big wood for 3-5mins continuously . I think Huky shopuld supply a chunk of evergreen oak with every saw they sell !
  3. 'bday placed outbof is .....guzurnonplatt gruhungersplud . I thought every one new that .
  4. Mmmm. the weather girl says its going to piss down tomorrow
  5. Yea I kinda thought it might be this years young still hanging around .
  6. Walking round a stubble field today with my spaniel . Partridge being shot a short way away . ( still to hot for game shooting to my thinking ) I hear the familiar "mewing" call of the buzzard . I look up and count 18 spiraling around above me . Is it me or are they on the increase ? I live at the foot of the south downs by the way .
  7. This is what I do with my 560 . Think it should be the same . Cold start is choke out decomp in 2-3 pumps on primer pull til it coughs . choke off decomp in again pull and it starts . reve to take off half throttle . Hot start one push of primer bulb and pull and it starts . Remember the ignition is always on . It resets to on as soon as you have switched off . If you are doing all this and it won't run it may be the auto tune paying up but you can't set the auto tune if you can't get it to run so take it in to your dealer . Oh the other thing it might be is if its been run on aspen and then on normal mix and then on aspen again it could have stiffened the carb rubber components .. may be .

  9. To understand and appreciate the futility of what they are doing they need to have a reasonable amount of intelligence ... .... alas .......
  10. Designed by the same chap who made the chocolate fire guard and tea pot it seems .

    I have one . Forget about the vacuum / shredder bit . Not worth the effort . As a blower in is superb . Take away all the curly pipes and the little shredder blades in the air intake and its the same as a BG85 . ( you can leave the little blades on ) . If you want a leaf vac you should be looking at a Billy Goat or similar . Thumbs up as a blower though .
  12. The Husky is pants . the Stihl has been doing a top job for ages now . get the Stihl then trade / sell it when the new Husky T540 is selling ...........
  13. Also it reminds me of the days we used to run our bikes on Castrol R 40 . It was a vegetable based racing oil . Fantastic smell .
  14. I tried aspen . It was in a saw that came back from husky after some warranty work (560) and I loved it . Just can't afford it that all . Wish I could .
