  1. 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 .
  2. 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 )
  3. 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 .
  4. 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 .
  5. Stuck ring ? You say the bore looks ok but what about the piston .
  6. 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 .
  7. Have you looked at the piston through the exhaust port ?
  8. 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 .
  9. 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 .
  10. All the right tools/equipment combined with all the top skills , " jobs a goodun ! "
  11. Seen that twice this week on A 27 . heading west tward Southampton.
  12. Wind getting up this evening . Just had some very sharp gusts .
  13. Weight and RPM . I have had both . Eventually sold the 3120 as it only got used once in a blue moon . 395 revs a bit higher but not as much torque obviously but I prefer it . Mine runs a 36" .404 and the 3120 had a 50" canon but over kill for me .
  14. Yea . That green gunge . Back in the days of flush cutting !
  15. The rolling radius is what affects gearing . Small wheel dia high profile tyre could have the same rolling radius as large wheel dia low profile tyre .
  16. I use Taylers of Old Bond ST sandalwood soap and a badger hair brush .
