  1. Bend the aluminum catcher up slightly and forget about it ....
  2. Geoff . Superb attitude ! Don't get your kit back though but I am, impressed , and sorry , for what happened . Sounds like you have a plan should they come back . I don't need to know !
  3. Is there a way you can block them ? I just empty my spam box each day without more than a quick glance at the senders . Don't open anything ...
  4. I would say its been harshly topped or snapped out at some time ?
  5. I think what has been spotted from the speeding train is the brown looking keys yet to drop ....
  6. Well I live in a relatively unaffected area ( West Sussex ) and I am no expert but I would be getting twitchy if I lived in the South East . Check out the map ....
  7. Loose that standard chain that comes with it . Get the Oregon , or better still , get a loop of the Stihl full chiz made up for it . When the " Cadburys "bar lets you down change that as well .
  8. You won't bend the AV spring if you NEVER drop it on its strop or NEVER lean on it hard . Not easy I think .....
  9. Nice one Jim . Well done bud ....
  10. I found the ONE Techlite bar I had that came with the saw to be made of Margarine .
  11. 40% dead wood in the canopy ? Sounds like an ancient pollard ....
  12. I think the bars are crap ...based on my short experience of the thechlite bar . So yea could be a bar issue .
  13. Second clutch probably ....
  14. I would recommend a Stihl full Chisel chain made up to 52 links from Rob D . He may soon be having some Sugihara bars as well . That would be a good combination .
  15. I have a Navara and was with NFU but Direct Line were better . Full no claims and an old git helps .....
  16. Sounds a good start . Don't know about the TimberWolf . What dia will it chip ? I think the most important thing with chippers is how good is it at dragging in brash . If it will pull in brash ok then anything tooo big can be fire wood .
  17. <p>Hi Rich . How are things going bud ? I love the little bit I saw of your collection of old bikes mate . I had a very similar bike to the Norman you have there . Mine was a F/B trials with the Villiers 197 engine . Probably the same AMC frame as yours ? Anyway when I was a youngster I used to drive the breakdown van for the West Sussex " Cobweb " run of the vintage MC Club in early spring . My mate and his Dad ( both gone now ) Had a collection . Mostely Scott Squirrels and Velo s . A KSS and MAC and a Venom Thruxton . Also a 600cc " sloper " and an early Lambretta LD shaft drive 125 . The 600cc Scott twin 2 stroke was my fave . Lovely bike . Laters Dude . Regards Andy ( southern softie !</p>

  18. Think that also . Distinctive 2 part back handle unlike the 625 ..
  19. You have to engineer some kind of restriction to the two parts of the saw going in opposite directions . If you don't not only do you get a bent spring but eventually the impulse pipe will tear or just plain pull right off . I am sure this is the reason for some of the bad running problems . Small perforations in the pipe caused by it stretching when the saw is dropped on its strop . Just thought I would add that bit as its to do with the saw .
  20. My Techlite bar de laminated from the sprocket nose back to the mount . Got a replacement husky bar of the older more solid type now . Running problems can be caused buy the bending lower AV spring . This puts tension on the impulse pipe initially pulling it and restricting it eventually tearing it or just plain pulling it strait off .
  21. I had a 345RX and it lasted a good few years . Mine did the same as yours whilst using a mulching blade . I think crank seals had gone causing it to run lean and nip up . It was deemed an uneconomical repair so bought a 545 RX . .......

    Husqy t435

    I think the 435 is a rebadged Redmex saw . Part of Husqvarna group like McCulloch is ....
