Rebuild a few from crank up but don't have the knowledge to do that despite seeing enough over the pond videos. Think i have two stripped so would love a wild 346 if i could get someone to port.

Where are you ?

What a great saw, power to weight ratio is excellent.

And a Spud ported one on a 15" bar driven by as 8 pin is even better .

Ordered this the other night off of Crocky. 
🤠

That is/will be a corker of a saw if he works his magic on it . I have one ported by him 👍

Morning all . 5c and torrential rain in intervals .

I would have , and have burned  Leylandii in the past and think it is really good fire wood .  The secret I think is not to season it for more than a year . ( down here in the south anyway )  Once it becomes  " feather light " you have lost the spunk out of it and it will burn the way you describe . One summer and its good stuff .

Horses maybe, but they're considered pets so don't need id.

All the horses we have owned have had a " passport " .

I think that back in the day the difference was that Stihl were slower revving saws but produced more torque so you could " lean " on them more and Husqvarnas were more revvy and fast . Today however I think that they have both been moving more toward each other becoming similar in their characteristics .

Singapore-registered container ship hits bridge in Baltimore US, 20 confirmed missing from the bridge so far, car drivers and construction workers.

Can't you back off the emojis? They're beginning to wear a bit thin now, and no longer proving anything and losing their significance,  please.

It would seem not ...

I think the 592 would be up to the task . I have an older 395 that runs a 36" .404 full skip ok . ( ported by Crocky by the way ) 

Morning troops . Mucking Funday again ! 🙂

I have had a good amount of Oregon files straight out the box and just will not sharpen a thing. Dull as ever. 
 

Vallorbe is defos worth the money. 

I have found " Save Edge " to be the best at removing material if you have had a pile up on flint or metal . Then finish of with stroke with an Oregon or Valorb or whatever .

No,no,no I've got a 261.I want a 241c.m.Dont make me stamp my feet/scream and scream till I make myself sick!

Well go and buy one FFS . You don't need our permission .

Is it cos the worm drive that turns the oil pump only turns one way?

Dunno really, just speculation. 

It will turn both ways but will only push oil out going forward . For sharpening it does not matter one way nor the other .

Can I ask the reason?

I've never really thought about it, I just put the file in the gullet of the next cutter and pull it back to a comfy position. Hope I'm not committing a heinous act while sharpening!

I do the same only pull it forward into a comfy position . It doesn't matter a fcuk .

I never pull the chain back, only forward.

I do the same but the above still applies .

Noo,I meant a lightweight all round PRO saw.Is that one of those little placcy jobs you see in a retail box with see thru window at a main dealer shops at xmas-marketed at your 10 yr old son-realistic noises but totally harmless?

If you want a 45/50cc pro saw its got to be a Husqvarna 550 MK2 .

Tripped over last night leaving my mates house, wouldn’t mind but I hadn’t had a drink because I was driving back, five hours up the hospital, one wrist in plaster and a cracking black eye from face planting my self. 

Wow , Sorry Egger . Was it a " dinner fork " fracture ? I have had broken wrists on a few occasions , at one time I remember having both wrists in plaster and grinding some of it away so that I could reach and work the clutch and front brake 🙂   Mend up buddy .

I have a client who owns a fuel station. He was quizzing the fuel company rep about how many stations they're buying, and he asked them if they were going over to electric charging points. Answer? " Nah mate, hydrogen". JCB are already running hydrogen engines, it's the only sensible option, in my humble and fairly ignorant opinion. 

And that's a yes from me ! 🙂

A lot of egg on a lot of faces me thinks if that ever gains traction. 

I hope it does . I would not buy one . The feckers catch fire ! You also have to factor in the cost of the mining of the lithium , dragging it a cross the ocean in a hurking great ship  then , later on the disposal of the dud batteries .
