  1. Ok . Sorry . Its a bit of a " black art " and I am by no means an expert but fruit tree pruning that I have seen ( in orchards ) seems to be the removal of the heart of the tree ( I think to get air circulation ) leaving out side limbs to form a cup shape . In your situation , if you are sure you can reach the fruit , then just leave them ?
  2. Just my thoughts but I don't think a fruit tree will develop in a woodland like it would in a purpose planted orchard purely because of the searching for the light aspect . It is bound to go strait up like a plantation tree rather than spread like an orchard tree .
  3. You godda cut your selves off at the deltoid for that John
  4. For a second there I thought this was the new 2016/17 truck ! Old news though .
  5. 020AV was the metal one . 020t was " screw driver slot "caps and 200t was flip caps . There were assorted carbs along the way . Piston type accelerator pump was always troublesome to the point of it becoming a consumable I recon .
  6. We had both at one time . 880 broke . ( crank and bearing ) deemed uneconomical repair . 3120 went on and on and as far as I know still going strong having sold it last year . Do every thing big with 395 now . Much prefer it . ( thread seems to have veered off a bit )
  7. My Burley is well insulated with thick vermiculite board in the fire box and a single opening double glazed door for the above reasons . Cant see smoke from the stack when its up to temp .
  8. Husqvarnas do have previous for loosing exhaust bolts . Its a neat trick to get it behind the cover and stuck to the flywheel magnet though .
  9. Stuck ring ? You say the bore looks ok but what about the piston .
  10. Measured on the end and the middle of a split log that was 3 years old in the round before I split it . Not measured when I split it but put in my log store in early spring . Measured in mid summer , then measured again in late November . Still burned a treat though .
  11. Have you looked at the piston through the exhaust port ?
  12. I had logs that were split and put in an outside log store in the spring from round that had been sitting for 3 years . Some of this came down to 11% moisture by mid summer ( according to my meter ) but was back up to around 20% buy the time I came to burn it .
  13. The guy is a knob jockey . It should have a fuel filter . On the end of the fuel pickup line that drops into the tank . If it runs until it gets warm it could be low compression . Classic symptom .
  14. All the right tools/equipment combined with all the top skills , " jobs a goodun ! "
