  1. I have led a sheltered life . Please tell me what " caras " means ?
  2. When you have nothing else to compare it to it all seems the bollox !๐Ÿ™‚ To be fair to it , it never let me down .
  3. I know I said I would not go back in history but ... In the beginning ( and no in between ) I started with a small yellow Alco top handle ( with no AV ) and a Jonsered 625 all metal body for a felling saw .
  4. At the risk of boring everyone ..... Currently ( not going to go back in history ) Husqvarna 242XP H 346XP ported , H 560XP ported , H 372XP ported , H 390XP ported H 395XP ported and recently sold H 3120XP ---to heavy for me lately !
  5. Saw and cars it seems
  6. Well that's good then , for you , seems like there is some inconsistency in QC ?
  7. Are they like a soft top sports car , sunny days only ?
  8. Looks very much like Pop to me also .
  9. You should dress the bar and flip it every , say, 3 sharpens . This will make better use of it .
  10. Have always found Oak ( Quercus Robur ) Slow , and , takes a long time to season ( 3 years min ) and even then always mix it with Syc, Ash or Beech . Holm Oak is a different kettle of fish though . I would suspect your " kiln dried " bit .
  11. Beautiful figure there Saul . ๐Ÿ‘
  12. That's a corker Mick ๐Ÿ˜
  13. Pissed it down the last few days and stopped about 06:00 am this morning . Bright sunshine now and 15 degrees .
  14. What ever it is it has crappy form Deodar " down bits " , Lebanon " level bits " and Atlas " up bits " . Thats why I thought it might be a Macrocarpa ( Monterey cypress ) .
  15. Yes , A Lebanon . Coz it looked a bit skanky I thought it might be a mac but I expect I am wrong .
  16. Sounds very similar to the early Stihl 261 syndrome . Oval crank or something like that I think it was .
  17. I would hate to be with you when your on your own mate .
  18. I know mate , I was pulling your pisser ๐Ÿ™‚
  19. I never realised procurement of fire wood was so involved and complex . I have a stove , and a splitter . That's all . ๐Ÿ™‚
  20. Out of Strangeways wasn't it Egger ? ๐Ÿ™‚
  21. It will still leave carbon deposits in your engine though unlike an Alkylate fuel , but yes a good option .
  22. They certainly do . ๐Ÿ™‚ Ricinus Communis . Castor bean plant .
  23. This I have done many moons a go in some of my old British iron .
  24. R40 I seem to remember is a " castor bean/vegetable " based oil made for 4 stroke engines and should changed more often than a mineral or synthetic oil . Red line 2t is a fully synthetic I believe designed for 2 stroke engines .
