  1. Yes and you can pay them with invisible money .
  2. Currently 5 degrees going down to 2 in the night they say .
  3. Stubby

    Packing it in.

    PHEW ! Glad to hear it bud . Hopefully will lead to some more work . 👍
  4. Just taller than the ridge . ( as in an original brick built chimney on a standard house ) As you say heat the flue first with the door open just a crack for 10 mins then adjust the stove to suit .
  5. That stack needs to be higher than the ridge of the main building . Because its not is the reason that when the wind is in a certain direction it affects the draw . If its above the ridge this won't happen .
  6. Early ones had clutch cover crack but other than that a stonking saw .
  7. If you mean Stihl Motomix then that is an alkylate fuel similar to Aspen and Husqvarna Xpower . So all or some or non of the above may or may not apply 🙂
  8. I agree it is a very effective way of converting " nasties " into " breathables " Not knocking it at all ( I have it on my truck ) its just a poster suggested " mapping it out " which would delete the dropping into limp mode .
  9. Oh yes Sorry . Still can't see how not using it would kill the engine as there are engines with a cat and no add blue tank .
  10. I would be interested to know how this could be . As far as I know add blue is approximately 70% de ionized water and 30% urea and is injected into the exhaust after the cat .
  11. Have you topped up the add blue to see if it goes away ?
  12. No I meant the new flywheel , carb and ignition unit that Stihl offered for the early 201 saw ( if he has an early one )
  13. Go electric as others have said and get beige wind cheater and cap . SORTED 🙂
  14. Depleted Uranium for me ( @ 50:1 ) 🙂
  15. Tiny , tiny improvement might be gained by removing the spark arrestor screen if it has one . Other than a magic wand I think porting is the way to go . Oh and as Mick says proper sharp chain and proper clean air filter .
  16. If your chimney is not above the apex by a decent amount you could get this problem with with wind in certain directions . Also I would try blocking your " air from the outside vent " and just see if pulling it from the room stops the problem . Could be one fighting against the other . Must be a right pain . I don't have any of these problems
