Oh blimey yes . There are some legendary Stihls out there and no mistake . I have worked along side them . 460 , has to be up there . 260 , 660 yada yada yada . Its just his sweeping statement that all huskys are crap I have issue with .

I have to disagree . I have several saws ( Husqvarna ) and over the last 40 odd years the only crap one has been the EPA California version of the 338 topper . That was pants . Everything else has been great . 242 , 254 then onto 3 series up to 5 series today .

Hey VI . How you been ? Good I hope . I just wondered do you have any Ravens in your wood . Got quite a few near me . I just love them . 🙂 -

Would be very good marketing . I think you do them an injustice . They can engineer if required . Its just people expect cheap coz its Chinese .

Hard frost first thing . Cool and bright . Currently 7 degrees at 14:00 .

I know what you mean re the pale color for Field Maple but for me the sticks are too strait for Field Maple . I'm still going with Elm . 🙂

I think they are the saw of choice for the " re badging " merchants . Most of the garden center type saws start off as a Zomax . You get what you pay for . As has been said many times before if you aske the Chinese to make a saw for £50 so you can sell it for £100 they will oblige . If you ask them to make a saw that could reasonably be sold for £500 I'm sure they could do that also .

The cut face looks more like Elm to me and the bark has that greenish tinge like Elm . Usually Oak that diameter pale ring just under the bark and the the rest of the face is an even tan color . But just my stab at it from a photo 🙂

The oil in the early stuff made it smell a bit like a chip shop but they did something/changed something and you don't get that now , at least I don't notice it .

I think Ulmus .

I would say the blueish stain is ferrus Nails or similar . The dark brown is natural heartwood ? I'm no expert though .

All he needs to do is get Boris to represent him . Job done .😁

I see Andrew ( ex prince ) has elected to be tried by jury . I think he will get ripped to shreads by a profesional cross examination . He looked pretty shit in an interview he aranged with one of his mates ! Stand a better chance if it was trial by combate me thinks . 😀

Not Starting when hot is a symptom of possible low compression . When it gets hot the clearances open up to point where it wont support combustion . Pull the muffler off and have a look at the piston .

Don't hold your breath re the grant of probate . Took over a year for my old Dads . The estate accounts have only been finalized yesterday . So best part of 18 months to sort .
