Dud?

Thanks for letting us know. I'll sticjk with steel one way or another I was helping barrier off a bit of bridleway that had fallen into the river today, I ended up using an old fagging hook to widen the verge opposite the barrier as my mulcher blade was verboten.

Does the mill have suspension?
-
Did I mention payment? It's a subject I'd happily discuss in another thread if you open one, there are differences in interpretation
-
Yes, I won't be climbing so just brushcutter and the occasional small tree to remove. I'll hold off getting my own PL until I meet up with the LA's footpath officer tomorrow.

Is £500 the cheapest deal available for low turnover? I may need some as a farmer has agreed for me to do some vegetation management on public footpaths across his land but claims his PL/EL won't cover my working. The volunteer groups I belong to don't allow loan working on theirs.

That used to be the special case for agricultural trailers not normal road going vehicles

You said it

You can't have a referendum on everything, nothing would get done. It's the same with companies, the shareholders elect directors who then choose a chairman, who then makes decisions. IMO for confidence you need decisive action and too much conferring delays this. Of course this means sometimes the wrong course is taken but the tories have put us in this situation where we would have been better off getting out two years ago, right or wrong.

Yes Chairman Schickelgruber

Cutting Fallen trees from public footpaths?

Please report obstructions and intimidation to the Ramblers else nothing will be done about it. -
It's not so much a primer as a purge pump, it takes fuel from the tank to the carb and then returns it to the tank, purging any air out of the system as it does. So if you leave it for a long time the fuel can disappear. Also the choke has two effects, it cuts most of the air off but it also creates a vacuum which sucks fuel from the carb to the intake. So you normally pull it over a few times till it fires and then open the choke to the run position. If it doesn't fire after a half dozen pulls or so you risk flooding the saw. I have a saw made before primer bulbs were common and that always needs 11 pulls before it fires if it has been left for a couple of weeks or more.

As conversion is a civil offence it likely it happens now and again. The police won't be involved (apart from if a vehicle is involved aka TWOCing) as it normally concerns where a something is in somone's possession legally ( maybe they borrowed it) and then they sell it on without the owner's possession. Did I miss tea break?

I hadn't considered that the growth form was a natural sport, not being familiar with corkscrew hazel. It would still be interesting to know why the leaves at the top of the shrub are curling.
-
It looks a bit like a growth problem often caused by overspray of a growth controlling chemical causing the etiolation.

Yeah Bob's post nearly brought me out of retirement till I read that bit. Now about tomorrow...

Tell me about the engine dyno please Bob

Well if the anchor point is high enough it only has to stay long enough to deal with the smaller one. Many fatalities arise from felling a tree that is supporting another. It's a long time ago now but it wasn't unusual for me to hold a blown tree upright with a cable to make it safe to climb and section fell. I still drive past a house with the only telltale that a tree fell onto the roof being the faintly different colour of tiles covering the damaged roof. The tree was a 3m3 stemmed sycamore which a crane held off the roof just above the centre of gravity while I handballed the crown off the roof prior to "felling" it backwards whilst it was lifted out of the loft by the crane.

One could fix a winch to the larger one to make sure it stays

OK if the exhaust is off what does the piston look like? A picture would help. Has the flywheel been disturbed?
-
How are you deciding it's getting fuel? The 114 I had in my garage for 30 years was an absolute pig to get going but eventually ran with no stripping down
-
but would the deputy mayor have reached that position under Sadam's regime? He probably owed his rank to the demise of Saddam. I have no doubt Saddam's was a bad regime (wasn't he there because of US wanting a proxy to fight Iran?) but was the cost in life and instability a good way to do it?
-
No I meant that was the start of US flexing their muscles and making poor foreign policy decisions. As a nation they are insular but because of their history highly prejudiced about the dismemberment of the british empire (I have no problem with the british losing their overseas interests but it was done badly because of US influence). Their dogma and fear of communism was laughable were it not for the bloodshed it caused.
-
Has always been so in my lifetime, I became disillusioned when I was 17 in Finthen USAA Germany and since then realised the problem stemmed from way before then, probably when they first latched on to the Balfour declaration.
-
Yes this is the sort of thing I guessed, provoke the US to attack the regime and then take over
