  1. You need to find chansawbars on the sponsored forum . Rob D is the member on here who posts the company stuff .
  2. Well I dont know without looking at the bar but a new bar would eliminate that once you have repaired the power head . The scoring on the piston does not look that bad so you may be able to salvage the pot by removing the aluminum transfer . ( spud is the best man to tell you how to do that with best effect ) then replace the piston with either an OEM one ( most expensive ) or a good qulity after market one such as Metior .
  3. Eddie I dont give a toss about the white lettering either . Some one asked about it . I have 3 sets of Coopers now . Not sure on mileage but they seem to last me about 2 and a half years . I know that is up in the air a bit but I change my oil and filter every 6k and that happens sorta mid summer and mid winter so roughly 12k a year so 2.5 year 28 K ? . Call it 30K as its a bit cyclic on the twice a year .

  5. The Sugi is far superior . Ferrari V wheel barrow
  6. Best place for Sugi bars is from Rob D on here ( chainsaw bars ) He will give you a discount for being an arbtalk member . My 560 has a MM but not sure what else Pete did . It does however pull an 18" .325 driven by an 8 pin sprocket and is rapid ......
  7. The brick will come out of the dam shortly
  8. The thing with Coopers is they are bloody good and cost less than BF . Also if you want the white writing you can have it as they come with it one side and are not directional .
  9. Absolutely .
  10. I'm on ibuprofen . Does that count ?
  11. I have tried Oregon , Canon , Windsor Speed tip , GB titanium , and of course the standard chocolate Husky bars and if you weigh it all up, cost , longevity , quality of engineering and balance I would say ( and its only my opinion ) that the Sugi Lightweight Pro bars come top . Just me though ....
  12. Thats a 560 . Modded by petemate .
  13. You are welcome bud . Hope it earns you a few pennies ....
  14. Yes , Yes , Yes , Yes , and Yes ....
  15. I recognize that bar ! looks just like the one I took to the post office last week
  16. Hi Jon .Im just extra old but not extra large mate

    You provocative so and so
  18. Check to find out what caused the damage first . If you have an air leak fix that first or your new parts will end up the same . Check your mix as well . Dont use cheap mineral based 2 stroke oil . Use good quality and dont use mix that is over 4 weeks old ...or dare I say it use aspen !
  19. Would you not destroy them quicker in a long dry spell ? Similar to a racer fitting full wets coz its raining at the start but stops very soon and a dry line appears and the wets get trashed in few laps ......
  20. You say Mud/Winter tires ....Winter tires are a different compound to summer tires to allow the tire to come up to working temp better . So you can get mud tires in summer or winter compound as you can ordinary road tires in winter or summer compound .
  21. As said above . If you have an air leak from where ever you can put OEM parts in or cheap Chinese pattern pars in It will fail again . . Find the cause and fix that first .
  22. Pfanner Type A with vents
  23. It goes back to a debate about whether its ok to use a top handle on the ground ..or not . Me I would , do and have but as a joke somone said that you could go to prison for it . Thats all mate
