  1. Don't get chainsaw willies . THE most uncomfortable things I ever remember warring .
  2. Sounds to me like they have been bullied by the neighbour ........

    Well every one is going for Hedera Helix but I have looked through as many types as I can find and non have this leaf shape or form .

    Leaf looks the wrong shape for ivy to me . Ivy has a maple type shape . This looks more like bamboo .

    Clutch

    There has been a very musical theme to some of your technical replies lately Steve
  8. Sure its not for a T540 Husky . They have more drive links for the same size bar as a Stihl .
  9. Dont start it up again with that " old mix " in it . Make some fresh . Try just using the compression it has first to get the clutch off . Don't forget its a LH thread . Get a ring spanner on there and give it a sharp whack with a mallet . If that does not work be very careful with any type of piston stop be it hard or soft .
  10. No its a " hard nosed " bar . Old school and power sapping . Have to run the chain a bit tighter with that bad boy .

    Clutch

    Well the thing is you have " assumed " its from the clutch and told us its a " zoooooom " sorta sound . I take that the clutch is not slipping when in the cut ? If not I cant see how it can be . The bearing might need a dab of grease but I doubt its that . You need to investigate a bit more .
  12. I'm elderly ......so yea
  13. I just bought a No5 copper and hide mallet to put the second sweep hand back on my Rolex .
  14. Take a non running saw ( with a functioning brake ) and with the brake off and the saw not running hold it by the back handle and drop the bar down and let the tip hit a log . The brake should activate . That is the inertia part of it . As said your wrist will contact the handle and activate it also should you get a kick back for real .
  15. Speak up man .........Where ever you are ....
  16. When I started out saws never had a chain brake and I'm still breathing . I'd be more concerned at the possible lack of AV ? Anyway you might do worse than take your CS30/31 or whatever its called now .
  17. I would have to kill you Anyway it would spoil the surprise !
  18. I know what's coming . ...........
