When the air line and the detergent and the carb cleanmer and all fail I just buy a new one .

If you prune back to the next good node to promote regrowth surely in a year or twos time the man with the mower will come and " crown lift" again . Just take them back to the collar and every one will be happy ?
-
Cut em off clean just in front of the collar . They will doughnut over and heel .

All Husqvarna Top handle saw to date are total pants ! . The forth coming T540 looks to be a ripper so hang on for that . Husky ground saw are the billie bollox IMHO.

Pleased for you Charlie . Well donr bud !
-
Oh come ON ! I said that way back ! ! ! Quote " spud is your man ! "
-
No I am talking bollox of course I am thinking of a Stihl 3/8 lo pro chain
-
Usually a 1/4 Stihl "lo pro" 1/4 pitch chain is sharpened with a 4.0mm ( 5/32 in old money) dia file
-
I am totally ignorant of carving bars - chains - technique . But a 1/4 dia file sound a bit big . What pitch chain are you using ? Only want to learn not telling you your I know better !
-
Yea ! thats what I meant Al !
-
Second that one . I have BASC insurence so if my spaniel causes any mayhem whilst in the persuit of game we are covered for , I think , 10 million ? but vet bills are mine and at the moment I am well in front !
-
Don't know if this has been covered or not but check to see if the coil connections are on properly could be one flapping a bit and falls away from the spark unit when tipped that way - - - long shot

Ice road truckers is in the same " staged " vain .

I had this with a Husqvarna long reach hedge cutter . It used to " apparently run out of fuel when there was 1/3rd of a tank left . It also cut out when tilted one way , I can't remember which . It was , as suggested the fuel line in the tank . The filter had got trapped in a certain position lifting it out of the fuel when at 2/3rds empty or wen tilted in the position that left it un covered . Soooo could be that . Get a bit of welding rod or similar and make a hook and lift the filter out and reposition it , maybe ?? The only other thing that comes to mind is a dodgy stop switch / wire connection . It could be making then breaking when you tilt the saw . Just a thought . If it was me I would just give it to spud . He will sort it no danger !

I saw one episode were Shelby was up to his chest in water with his big Stihl running trying to cut a big log free from the mud ! I think they tried to blow it up in the end with home made bombs !
-
If I were you , which I am not , I would blank off the auto de comp and fit a blue button . I did it to one I had and found starting much better .
-
It very much depends on your budget . If you don't want to spend a lot Chinese made S.M.K. CO2 powered rifles are good value . Its worth spending a little extra sending it off to get fettled by some one like " Welsh Willie " or similar . He will finish it properly and fit better seals and generally get it working more efficiently . ( he is a bit like the "Spud" of the air gun world .) A decent scope and you are away at a fraction of the cost of a top flight piece but with the same accuracy .
-
Steve you need a cape and wear your shreddies out side of your tights and the big S on your chest will be for "SPUD" ! ! By the way have finished on the big red wood so can send the 395 for you to cast your eye over if you got space . Best regards Andy .

Lovely tree , well done . All I see round here is dead elm . Good fire wood but the last mature one where I live has to be when I was a boy ( 50 odd years ago ) Dutch elm has had the rest . For some reason the sea side town of Brighton ( 20 miles down from me ) has managed to keep the desiese out . Welcome bud .
-
Its godda breath . Really that's the top and bottom of it .
-
Imagine a box shaped section tunnel . The top leading edge of the cutter sitting in the bottom of the slot and the tie strap links forming the roof of the tunnel . The distance between two consecutive cutter fills with chip and is carried along till it meets fresh air .
-
Between one cutter and the next .
-
Hence skip chain:thumbup:
