  1. Yep they do . Just had a new carb, a hotter plug and a remap on my 560 under warranty . Sorted now as it happens . .
  2. Honestly , have you no sole ?
  3. O.K. yea I see what you mean . Perhaps I should have worded it better . Its the ton of lead / ton of feathers thing . If you had a sack of well seasoned bone dry hickory you would need , say 6 sacks of simarly well seasoned bone dry pop to generate the same amount of heat .
  4. What is a solititer ? Is it a kind of fish ?
  5. I think its a bit of a red herring
  6. I agree it does burn well if you look after it as you describe . How ever on a night that is blow zero burn a nights worth of pop then the next night burn a load of equally well seasoned ash or beech you wiil notice the difference in the calorific value , well I can tell any way . But essentially, I agree , if you can keep it dry it will burn .

    Has anyone thought of running .325 " pixal" chains ( Huskys narrow kerf ) ? I once bought a 385 from Canada and it had a 33" bar 3/8 pitch and it .050 guage ! Less wood to remove in the cut faster job ?
  8. Thats about the top and bottom of it . Totally agree .
  9. Never used one myself although I an a Husqvarna man . As far as I know it is a sorta semi pro farm type saw .
  10. Sounds like either there is a puncture in the crankcase half that forms the oil tank . Hard to tell without seeing it . Could you post a pic ?
  11. Re pollard a willow take down 2x huge syc . All on same sight.
  12. I would suggest something pro or semi pro ( depending on your budget ) arround the 50cc to 60cc size . In the husqvarna pro range a 346xp if you can get one, or its replacement the 550xp . Also a 357xp if you can get one, or its replacement the 560xp . There will be loads of other alternatives from Stihl etc etc . Good luck .
  13. Well done mate . You ate now an official member of the orange and silver club . Known to some as " the dark side "

    Fastest chainsaw I ever seen is the " predator " V8 on youtube. click on youtube and type in v8 chainsaw , Predator
  16. Actually just looked and there is nothing at the mo for 380CD . Sorry . There has been though . Mostly from U.S.
  17. Shed loads of " sold as seen" " for parts only " " non runner don't know whats wrong" " project saw " " fixer upper " on ebay ?
  18. Dissagree on the pop. Burns very slow cos its wet . Its always wet unless you go over the top to keep it dry . Then it burns too fast ! Agree it gives out little heat . Makes good kindling splits easy . Matches yes.
  19. Pop is the worst for soaking up moisture . You got to keep it bone dry . Makes good kindling as said . Not a very high calorific value but burns well when dry , too fast some say . They make matches from it .
  20. When I had my 357 ( just sold it got a 560 ) it did the same . Not enough to investigate but just enough to be mildly irritating ! Every Wednesday I would stand it on last weeks copy of motorcycle news . ( old inca tric )
  21. Old but still a cracker ! :lol:
  22. Slight de rail but not too far . Aspen . I have heard that if a saw starts its life on Aspen it can then run on conventional mix but if you start its life on conventional mix you can't then run it perminently on Aspen . Something to do with a coating on the components in the carb . The coating keeps the rubber soft and supple . Petrol strips the coating off but the petrol its self keeps them supple . If you use Aspen after the petrol has striped the coating then the rubber stiffens and cracks . New carb kit required. Or is this rubbish ?
  23. An all metal Jonsered with no a.v. and no brake I think . Bigish heavy longish bar . Also a very small Alko . That was yellow . We are talking 1970 something .
  24. Spud is yer man . When he reads this he will have an answer . Pr you could PM him .
