I had lots of trouble with mine and was ready to give up after stripping the carb and replacing the diaphragm, gaskets and needle valve. It still played up and a new Stihl carb was £90 but I saw L&S offered an aftermarket one for less than the price of the carb kit, fitted it and it worked fine till I stripped the gears in the head.

That's my thoughts too but ships seem to have a 30+ year lifetime as do some commercial airplanes, I wonder how long modern multi megawatt wind turbines will remain in service.
-
Oh one with solenoid controlled fueling, too modern for me.

Yes it looks like it has run over hot and that is normally due to an excess of air to fuel.
-
Nor me but I'd say that was running weak

It is actually practical for a home owner to do this now, using a battery to actually profit from off peak charging and sending it out at peak. It's a form of arbitrage where the buying in price is a quarter of the selling price but separated by 12 hours.

No because the heat is solar heat (plus a small amount of geothermal heat escaping from the core) that has been gained in the first few metres of soil during the summer and would have radiated away in winter. The pump just moves it into the house where it also is lost from and radiated to space.

I think this is probably youtube misinformation. China had some car short term hire schemes, like boris bikes and electric hire scooters, that failed. The firms became bankrupt and the cars are stored in fields.

Mine was a Husqvarna when I did just that on a twin stemmed macrocarpa

Much the same here so we moved on to a prepay plan but as we have got older the cost has escalated to £45/month each. Things like crowns are extras. The thing is dentistry has got so much better and the new fillings seem to last much longer plus being more aware of dental hygiene and sugary acid foods should mean younger generations need less intervention.

As a fellow misogynist I agree

Central Heating Stoves

You are right; weight for weight at the same moisture content conifer is slightly higher calories but about 1.5 times bulkier -

.I need a +1 or agree button, I don't burn quite as much but the house is only 77 m2 floor space and in a warmer bit of the kingdom. -
There's the rub, California forced all vehicle manufacturers to comply with on board diagnostics so anyone could buy a reader and get the basic faults out, it didn't spread to industrial engines. Similarly I have several thousands of pounds worth of kit that needs firmware and security updates, I log on and download them online without having to go to a dealer to pay and get them. You are running a restrictive practice.
-
Yeah I wouldn't countenance paying for that once out of warranty. Apart from the weight issue why not put something like a LPG engine in, liquid cooled but long lived in forklift trucks and the toyota 4y puts out 44hp

How often do you need to use an 90cc saw other than for ringing up when ergonomics hardly come in to it? My experience with big saws is that post felling you seldom used then as a 60cc was easier to carry about for knotting up.
-
I agree but the local dealers do not seem to carry as much stock, especially not spare parts, as they once did. There is probably too much range of saws and accessories to do so compared with 40 years ago when all my shopping was with Honey or Richmond and I would travel to get stuff. Whereas parts arrive from L&S within 3 days, which is faster than local stores get stuff from the warehouse for you to collect. My only issue is with sites where you have to start the payment, filling in name and address before you get to see the delivery cost. PS do the order fulfillment firm also store the selling firm's stock (i.e. warehousing) as well as process, package and dispatch the goods? and

I'm no fan of TPOs but in this instance I agree with him.

Apart from building in a breakaway one could modify the reel by adding a pair of copper plates (an aluminium reel would work also but less effective) and adding a number of small magnets to the static case. The eddy currents generated would control the rate of descent if the saw were dropped.

It changed in recent decades for England that any shared sewers serving two or more properties became the drainage companies' responsibility previously it was the property owners' joint responsibility.. I am not sure how it applies to multi occupancy buildings.
-
In England if it is a shared foul sewer it is the responsibility of the drainage company and too true about eucalyptus.

Strangely my nearest Stihl dealer has stopped stocking the Ultra. I have been given a bottle of Castrol power1, it is rated jaso FD so should be good enough. It is also red which I find far easier to see when pouring mix than the green/blue, it is a reassurance that I have the right stuff when filling. Generally I keep mix in red containers and neat in green but mistakes happen.

Yup, me too, present most days
