Or the tensioner stud . Does it go all the way into the bar and not hang up on the taper ?
-
Mine are Spud ported . Thought that was a given ! ?
-
When I said " its less sharpening because there are less cutters for a given bar length " I was just stating the maths of it . I don't necessarily mean its better . Personally ( and it is a personal thing ) I use .325 on 50cc and 60cc saws . I only step up to 3/8 on 70-90 cc saws . over 90cc I go .404 .
-
I would say more like a heat treatment issue . A husky bar for example would bend there and take a set , it being softer .
-
Odd . I don't have a Stihl so cant help . Never had this on any of my saws . ( had the odd one break but not repeatedly like this ) . Would be interested in the outcome though . Hope you get it sorted . Must be frustrating .

Its less sharpening coz its less cutters for a given bar length .

You will need a 3/8 " small spline " rim .
-
Magnolia and Cheery out here . Dog put a Snipe up out in the fields near me and the little black and red wood peckers are giving it large !
-
Could there be a problem with the bar causing the chain to pull to one side , in turn having this affect on the rim ?
-
Sounds like Brexit ...?
-
Yea . I wondered that . Were do chippers get used other than here that would be economical to export even though they are stolen ?
-
That looks like a better version of what I've got, does it throw out the line if you get caught up in brambles or snag a twig? No . ?

Encouraging natural generation after clearfell
Stubby replied to Big J's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Don't know if this has any relevance but after the 87 storm the natural re gen did much better than the planted up areas . Around here anyways . -
Happy birthday Paul . I too would still be doing my bit for fitness had I not been smashed to bits at the age of 50 . I was ( though , obviously I am biased ) a pretty useful squash player , a 9 at RFU and cricket in the summer . Alas my now 66 year old body ( with all its metal work , muscle loss and fat gain ) can not do what my brain still wants to do . You keep at it bud and you wont get old ! Respect !

Cheap Chinese carburettors for the BR400 Blower
Stubby replied to Arctostaphylos uva-ursi's topic in Maintenance help
I think the OEM ones are Chinese any way . Zamma or similar ? -
Great when all costs are covered in the price . Did the driver have a banks man included ?
-
I would not use anything else but, hey ho , as you say its a personal thing . What was the problem you found ? .
-
What about an Oregon Jet Fit head ?
-
We have just had 3 days of 12-14 degrees C in the day and minus 2 at night . Sharp frost this morning but shirt sleeves in the day . Black thorn , Haw thorn and Magnolia in full flower . West Sussex , South Downs National Park .
-
Only 3 of us . but it did seem a bit weird to start with .
-
We were felling near some lines and we did not touch them . All of a sudden the line went slack ! Thought bloody hell how did that happen ? Went back along the line to find a big old beach on a dodgy bank had just fallen onto the line about a couple of hundred yards from were we were working . We got the blame to start with but showed them what happened and all was sorted FOC . It was out in the sticks . Just village stuff .

Stubby replied to Big J's topic in General chat
That's a dream surely ? ? -
All my saws have Sugi pro light bars I have tried loads over the years including GB , Windsor , Husky , Canon , Oregon etc etc and these are the most hard wearing bars ever ,in the wold , X 10 ! . .
-
Don't you use the " German prison camp guard voice " with the Stihl bar ?
-
Ah . Thanks Stuart ... Andy . ( stubby )
