I see what you did there ?

I just cut in between the nails and scoop them out with the ash later .

Looks good from a Google .

Maybe the UK should plant more....

There is a large walnut near me ( several actually that border the old Lavant/Midurst railway line ) . This tree is a biggun and has self seeded , with the help of the rooks , several young trees about 8 foot in height . All these youg trees have very blackened and shriveled leaves . I don't know if its early frost or recent drought but they don't look happy . The biggun however seems fine . -
Long standing joke goes back several years . People pick it up and run with it .....

But then you don't get the timber lengths ? -

Field Maple was used in furniture making and some musical instruments in the past but it is very slow growing and this factor made it loos its popularity as a commercial wood . -
I also do mine every three to four sharpens but my gauge is constant and not worn down . Its not the pennies , its the increasing inaccuracy that will accumulate till you buy a new one .
-
You should not leave the gauge on and file down to it ! Put the gauge on feel how much proud the raker is . Take the gauge off give it a few strokes put the gauge back on and check . After a short time you can usually know how many strokes to give it till its flush with the gauge . I am 67 years old and never worn out a raker depth gauge ?

Cause can be any number of things . Bad mix is one ( old fuel or wrong ratio of oil to petrol ) An air leak is another making it run lean and hot causing damage to the piston . Wrongly adjusted carb is another . Not saying it is low comp , just a suggestion . take the muffler off and have a look at the piston through the exhaust port .

low compression ?

You say " dust " . I don't mill but have always associated " dust " with a blunt chain .

Requirements for storing commercial qtys of firewood.

Don't know what , or indeed if there are any regs . Combustion needs 3 components . Fuel , Oxygen and heat . Keep the heat/ ignition out of it and the 02 and fuel should be safe . -
As I understand it , the reasoning is , with long bars buried the full length the fewer cutters you have the longer the tunnel in the kirf is . This allows the chip to be carried away and not jam up . With more cutters there is more chip and less room to discharge it . i don't do milling but this theory certainly stands up when felling with full skip or semi skip ( as opposed to hyper ) skip chains on long bars .
-
OK then . This leaves the possibility of damage to the piston and bore but unlikely as you say you have run it on the correct mix . If the screws have been " twiddled " the first thing to do is put them back to the standard factory settings . If this brings no joy you need to take/send it to someone who knows what they are doing . I can recommend Spud on here . @spudulike

She is not that type of dog . Have had other that would but she is everybodys friend .

My spaniel has been chasing squirrels in the woods today . She can't work out were they go . ( up the tree ) . This morning at about 05:00 we came across a small fox cub in the barley . He must have been no more the 8" long nose to tail . The dog went after him but not aggressively ( she wants everything to play with her ) . He went into cover and turned to face her . The cub made these sort of grunting noises at her . I called her away and she came . Later this afternoon we saw the vixen in the same place . Surprised as it was about 15:00 in afternoon . Sorry no pics .
