  8. Have you unscrewed the de comp valve and cleaned it with some WD40 and a tooth brush ? failing that just fit a new one .
  9. I do if I have a 4.8 to hand . This is with any make of chain .
  10. Ok . Lets know what your findings are .
  11. Joking aside , its all in the preparation . ๐Ÿ™‚
  12. Can't see why . Actually not sure what you mean but if the flue goes strait up then no .
  13. The blues has been done to death by the likes of G.M , S.R.V. etall so for it to get my attention it has to be top banana . This is . Some of the chord progressions are a bit Dave Gilmour .
  14. Excellent . I am a big fan of " less is more " . The room , I think , is a studio ? ๐Ÿ™‚
  15. Ok . some different scenarios ... There you are striding out to the site with your big saw on your shoulder your smaller saw in your left hand , tool belt small axe etc etc a bit of stubble on your face , a couple of neck rolls , fire her up and you are into wood . Or , its pissing down , cold rain , steep bank lots of slippery wet poles from previous thinning , although its cold you are still sweating you fire her up and you are into wood . Or ( down south maybe not Scotland ) its 28 - 30c the sun is beating down again you are sweating light bulbs drinking water all day but never having a piss ( one gallon of water weighs 10lbs and you got to carry it ) being eaten alive by this and that , you fire her up and you are into wood . Your knees , hips forearms , shoulders and lower back take a hammering . You get home wondering if you managed to break even , get in the shower ( you really should be giving your saws a once over but fcuk that ) come down stairs , have a bit to eat and fall asleep watching the news . In the morning you wake up thinking you must have been wrestling polar bears but you godda do it all again tomorrow . Don't want to be the angel of doom but it can be like this . I think the ideal hand cutter is a bloke with 12 or 15 years + experience with a body 12 or 15 years younger than when he attained that experience . Hope this helps ๐Ÿ˜
  16. Don't discount other makes . I am a Husqvarna man myself but Echo or Dolmar as well as Stihl can do the job . What does your nearest dealer/sevice shop cover ?

  18. If you don't it will anger TCD ! ๐Ÿ˜ Also as you say less wastage ( although some want the root flare trimming for stacking on the forwarder ) but also we don't want machinery having their hydraulic pipes torn off .
