Its always a theoretical " trade off " But I have a Spud ported 372 that has a " high top " flock filter but it still goes like a pig down a freshly greased slide ! Ask Steve !
-
Yes . A/T saws will compensate to a degree for partially blocked filter, as will it compensate for a small air leak . That is no excuse for ignoring basic maintenance .

People call sycamore a weed but for me it is the least labour intensive fire wood going . Seasons quickly , splits a treat and burns a little better than ash but not quite as long as beech . -
That filter in the pic is disgusting , even got a bit of conifer growing in it !
-
Had this on a Jensen ans it was a crack battery lead . You could get under and wiggle it and it would cut in and out .
-
Im Good Steve thanks . Same with you I hope ?

Always a favorite . Mine had a faulty fuel valve .
-
Just use top quality oil ( Husqvarna XP or Red Line etc ) Make sure the carb is always adjusted correctly and it wont over rev . Keep all the potential air leeks at bay and it should keep going for a good while yet .
-
He say he has cleaned the carb . Any way were have been ? !!
-
Hopefully yea . If not do I need a solicitor ?

I felled one on my front lawn as it was touching the roof . Burnt a treat , hot and long . Also coppiced well as it sprouted from the stump and made another tree really quickly . I realized it was Pusudoacasie but did not know that Black Locust was the name the Americans give it ! -
Still think the Aldi fishing jacket thing is good value .

Customer wants something done with European Larch and Cypress, but what?

Result . -
I have found with the 2 A/T saws I have ( 560 and 540 ) that once the initial A/T set has been done you just get on and cut wood as it is constantly adjusting itself to the conditions . If you suddenly go from the lowlands of Scotland to the top of the Himalayas then maybe you need to re set but if not just cut wood .
-
The plugging in does ( unless you have the software ) but re setting the A/T your self can be donre as above buy cutting the full length of the bar for 3-5 mins as per the book .
-
Are you going any were near the river Y whilst you are in the Beacons Paul . I camped there once when I was about 12 . Beautiful place .
-
Just wondered if you come from Texas ? Your post fills about 3 screens !
-
Just out of interest have you tried resetting the A/T ? I had a problem with mine and it turned out to be a fuel valve ( electronic I think ) that was replaced by my dealer for free .
-
I'm pretty sure that last bit is against the Geneva Convention .

Check that the flywheel key is not sheared and put the flywheel slightly out of time .
-
Dont bin them . Use them for strimming .
-
You need Spud .
