  1. Mystery solved ! I had one of those back in about 1807 but it was yellow . No A.V. I seem to remember . Hope you are keeping well Andrew .
  2. Its in decline I would say but that can take years to complete .
  3. No . Go OEM if you want to do that but , Brick acid or similar can remove aluminum transfer quite easily and followed by a light hone can sometimes bring a cylinder back into action . A quality AM piston and Caber rings and jobs a goodun . Spud will be along to confirm if I am talking bollox or not ๐Ÿ™‚ @spudulike
  4. You may or may not have heard that there is a war going on in somewhere Russerish but , we here on ITV Meridion in the south are looking at " does sitting in your favorite comfy chair really rest your old legs .
  5. If its Andrew shavey then its probably a Dolmar . Could be an Echo as its that shade of red .
  6. There is a thread on here " Turkey Oak whats it good for " that describes the problems you are having . ...
  7. Surely that should be " Is one looking for staff in Windsor Area " ๐Ÿ™‚
  8. Yep I was around then and remember it happening . ๐Ÿ‘
  9. Cylinder may be saveable if its just aluminum transfer .
  10. Filled up my pickup at the local village filling station/CoOp shop and it was ยฃ87 . last time it was ยฃ103 so its come down a bit . Sorry I never look at the price/ltr .
  11. Get one out of the toilet after breakfast . That should do .
  12. This wood seasoning thing is just common sense really . Longer the better , keep dry , wind, and some sun if possible . At the end of the day if you are cold you godda burn what you got .
  13. And if they do happen to call you you can now ignore them also . Fcuking bandits .
  14. Result . ๐Ÿ‘ Customers seeing sense .
  15. I recon its an insurance jobbie ๐Ÿ˜„
  16. Just leave it and let the ivy do its job ! ๐Ÿ˜ ( another thread )
  17. I would say they are aftermarket dawgs/spikes and not OEM hence the problems . Honestly they are of no advantage on a 50-60cc saw , even if the bar studs were long enough . That size saw would be used for felling and snedding out trees maybe a max of 2x bar lenght . Big dawgs like that shorten your effective bar lenght and get in the way when snedding . They are " soft wood dawgs ( thick chunky bark ) and suitable for saws of 70cc and upwards . If you want to " pimp " your saw then go for it . If you want a tool to do the job keep the standard dawgs , get the outer one if you want ( as on mine ) but standard lenght and fitting . just me .
  18. It looks to me that you are trying to fit dawgs/spikes that should fit a 372.572/385.390 .
  19. I think we might need @adw .........Andrew , help here ?๐Ÿ™‚
  20. You might have to " spot " the holes through with a drill . I think its the same cover on your saw . Note the 562 cover is different in that the outer dawg mounting holes are further apart ( to account for the 3/8th running gear . Sooo if you buy a new set of dawgs get them for a 560 not a 562 . I think !
  21. If you take the clutch cover off and look inside are there not cavities cast for captive nuts to take the outside bucking dawg/bumper spike rather that the 372/385/390 one you are trying to fit ? ( as on my 560 below )
