  1. No . You get a proper tank vent and replace the screw with the vent that should be there . That is if it is a screw . If its the proper tank vent then leave it as it is .
  2. Its common sense as i see it . Hands ether side of the blade . If in doubt use a push stick . Keep the ground around it clear of trip hazards and crack on .
  3. If you keep running it with no vent , and it has sealed , it will eventually stop oiling as the vacuum increases .
  4. I remember not long ago when the FC had to bollock them selves for a clear fell of hundreds of cubic meters of timber which they did not get a felling license from them selves for the said sight . Made me chuckle .......
  5. Yes , but , If the proper breather was in place it would not . It acts like a one way valve allowing air in (so the tank does not pull a vacuum ) but no oil out .
  6. I don't . My Oregon or Stihl chains go strait on with an 8 pin . Just a suggestion IF the op was using an 8 pin . Not sure that he is though .....
  7. Are you using an 8 pin ? If so fit a 7 pin and run it for a bit till its done the initial "stretch " and go back to the 8 pin .
  8. He did my 372 ( amongst others ) and its a loony !
  9. Only the usual thieves getting easy access to your kit .
  10. Is all the above legal at the moment then ?
  11. I love a happy ending .
  12. Your not that simple ....you fixed it
  13. Just needs the " Benny Hill " music ......

    People Poo .

    Ok . I;m going to sit on my stool to read this .
  15. Husqvarna 545 RX is my weapon of choice . Drives a mulching blade and spins 4mm line no problems .

    560 woes

    Crank stuffer come adrift possibly ?
  17. I quite like the "purring " sound they make . Would they ever interbreed with a bog standard collar dove do you think ?
  18. I have one pair of Husky Tech and three pairs of Pfanners . All type A front protection . One of the Pfanners is the Gladiator Extreme in red . Out of them all the standard grey Gladiators fit me the best and all the Pfanners are much harder wearing than anything else I have had .
  19. The 575 was pants . Weighed almost as much as my 385 and made nowhere near as much power . Sold it and got another 372 ....
  20. Warmish by day , dry and bright . Chilly nights with a bit of frost still around a 6.00 am this morning .
