  1. The diaphragm has a coating on it to keep it supple . Pump fuel will remove that coating but at the same time keep the diaphragm supple because it is very slowly dissolving it . Alkelite fuels such as Aspen , Motomix and the Husqvarna one don't remove that coating . So using an alkelite fuel from the get go will leave you with no problems in that area . switching to an alkelite fuel when a saw has been using pump fuel for a long time will show up problems caused by the pump fuel . And yes they can become brittle if left to dry out after using pump fuel .
  2. Yea . I use an Acme 211 1/2 . One long blast for stop . Continuous bep,bep....bep,bep....bep,bep.... for return . She quarters pretty much on her own .
  3. I have a corded Erbauer SDS Max roto stop monster of a drill . Never let me down . Never tried their cordless though .
  4. Try Rob D on here ( chainsawbars ) for a Sugihara pro lite .
  5. If you put this on the " Tip site directory " you might get a bigger audience .
  6. Went to my friends Dads send off today . Known him for at least 40 years . Borne in 1925 ( same as my Dad ) . He was a a Lancaster bomber pilot during WW2 and was shot down at some point . Such a nice guy , still talked with his RAF accent old boy ! They played the dam busters theme on the way out . RIP Alan Biffen .
  7. Bit like the bloke craned up whilst in his ride on mower to cut the top of his hedge .
  8. This . And try to end it on a positive . You can sense when to stop .

  10. I have the Joe Irving book but my Spaniels won't read it .
  11. Just put a pair of thick socks on . Should raise you up enough . ?
  12. Mmmmm . If you are buying new that , IMHO is not enough .
  13. I have made that " mistake " twice ! Getting 2 pups from the same litter . Unless you have 24 hours to your self every day you will be in trouble . You have to take them out and train them separately for months until you can get them both to sit and stay when the other is working . Will never do that again .
  14. First pic I was gonna say leave it be . When I saw the rest of them , as Mick says .....Its fucked .
  15. You are obviously not old enough to remember when the yellow saw was anything but shit ! The 125 with the cart engine will hold its own with an 880 I should think ....
  16. Have a look at Echo and Dolmar as well .
  17. A Sketchley dry cleaners card works sometimes .
