    Fuel is the same though Yea . That's why I said oil filler Bill ?

    I thought the oil filler was smaller ?

    No Decomp and no primer plus Orange side cover wopuld indicate 45cc.
  4. It starts out fine , but , after a certain amount of use the plastic rollers ware down with the file going across them . As the rollers become smaller in diameter it drops the file down by the same amount thus putting the file too low . The file should be 1/5th of its diameter above the top plate . When the rollers ware this is reduced putting too much hook on the cutter .

    The only " woman " that I heard of with balls was Fatima Whitbread .
  6. Max revs should be between 13800 and 14200 . If you rev a saw with no bar and chain you can be privileged to see the clutch come off and shoot up the workshop at a rate of knots !
  7. I used them for a bit and went back to the Oregon flat plate type guide . The rollers ware out too fast and put the file to low .
  8. Spud did ...346XP 372XP 390XP . Petemate did my 560XP and the Walker saw shop my 395XP . Yes vast improvement . Picks up quicker drives harder , runs cooler ( helped by MM ) and just as , if not more reliable . EG my 346XP runs a 15" bar , full chiz chain driven by an 8 pin powermate rim .
  9. @spudulike Spud ported most of mine .
  10. Noticed a few dandelions already gone to seed .
  11. The clutch on a 346 is a LH thread . There are usually arrows cast on the clutch body indicating direction of " spin off " . You will need a soft copper drift and a mallet . Some like to put a string inside the plug hole as a piston stop . I find compression is enough . give it a sharp clout in the direction of the arrows and it will spin off . A puller wont do anything other than break something .

    No armed response ?
  13. It certainly did . Mustard !
  14. Wall to wall sun shine for the last 4 days .
  15. Yes there is . It will limit corrosion . Do it .
  16. My Grandfather served in WW1 . He survived , obviously , but would not talk about it . Became tearful if pressed . Later became a policeman in Hong Kong . He would talk about that . My Dad was on aircraft carriers in WW2 . Mostly he would talk about the planes . He did win the target shooting though . He had a Ross ( Canadian ) rifle that took the .303 rounds that the Lee Enfield used but was fussy about the accuracy ( of manufacture ) of the rounds . It had a longer barrel than the Lee so was more accurate . I dunno why he had it but he did .
  17. This . ......And I say this no matter how much Khriss ripps the piss outta me ?
  18. I tend to use Oregon powermate as well . There is large spline and small spline in .325 and 3/8 and large spline in .404 . They are all sintered . Don't know if different firms use different quality sintering material but Oregon has always been good for me .
  19. Just use the Waxoyle . If you can get a pipe with a nozzle and push it inside the chassis rails all the better . ( just thought you probably don't have a conventional rail chassis if its a van . )
  20. Have done several track days at Goodwood . 1:28 secs for me on a Blade .
  21. Also there is no such thing as a " chainsaw license "
