    Hi I had a go with one before deciding on a Husky 365, it seemed pretty good to me but the 365 had a bit more grunt although its 70cc. If the price is right then its going to be a pretty good choice IMO [ame] [/ame] Looks like it ports well too! N

    I am back

    Hi, Welcome back & hope all continues to improve best wishes N
  3. Hi +1, certainly agree on that one & would easily get more than £50 on Ebay - the carb probably has those plastic limiting caps that can be removed if desired. There are plenty of 'how to' vids on the tube. N
  4. Hi Did it run OK after the carb re-build & ultrasonic clean? as it would seem unacceptable to receive it post repair to me. The fuel line is a common problem, my 250 leaked fuel when filling it due to the grommet hardening and once replaced required a carb tweak. If you have to replace the carb then there are plenty of cheap ones to be had. N
  5. Hi That seems entirely reasonable to me, in London or Bath it would be a lot more maybe twice that N
  6. Hi Good for starting your fire, also makes good barrels for ageing Pineau as it adds natural sweetness N
  7. Hi, Oh er, I heard that houses were getting smaller in the UK, but yes, they look very nice. N
  8. Hi Sean, wishing you a full & speedy recovery N

    rugby

    Et bonsoir a tous, Well, anyones now, if the Jockaneese concede to Ireland by lots then its Irelands, or if we drink too much vin rouge at half time or field our wrong team (again) and get thrashed at Twickenham then its England. Dont think Wales can do it on points diff N

    rugby

    Hi, Yes, excellent match & Wales only just hold on. best so far N
  11. Hi Jon, It wouldn't surprise me if he's been approached by another TV channel & this is his way of exiting a contract perhaps even with a pay-off from the BBC ! N

    EU fuel rebate

    All, Good news for some rural postcodes, not just Scotland BBC News - EU approves rural fuel rebate scheme rollout to 17 areas N
  13. Hi, I dont own that saw, but at a guess it could be blocked breather pipe, try just a smidgen of fuel & start up with the tank cap loose to prevent vacuum build up. Oh & welcome to the forum, I'm sure Spud & the others who know a lot more than me will post soon. N
  14. Tops! Pop that in the 'suggestion box' at the West Midland Safari Park & maybe they will run with it. N
  15. ha ha, made me smile Eggs, not chasing any cunning stunts by any chance? N
  16. Hi Jon, We are in Plymouth for the weekend, sunny & dry here, but quite cold but we are used to it a bit warmer now. best wishes N
  17. Hi Is it possible that the gauge lost its calibration during transit? As I understand a simple pressure gauge is a bourdon tube in a spiral that tries to straighten when pressure is applied thus moving the needle, thats right isnt it Spud? So if you could calibrate it against some known pressure - scratch head for something at or around 150 or 200psi - then you should be able to re-adjust accordingly. N
  18. Hi, Im sorry to hear of the rather amateurish attempt to reduce your cherished trees, Im not a professional, but have a significant amount of trees on our property, about 30 Plum, perhaps 10 cherry along with numerous Ash & others. Ive read through some of the replies which mainly advocate removal & replacement which is all very well but will take considerable time & expense depending how much you are prepared to undertake yourselves. My initial thoughts were to plant a single tree to replace the two, because theres a likely hood (certainty?) the two will get silver leaf. A single tree located centrally away from your boundary may be better because if I remember UK law, a neighbour can remove anything that over hangs their land? correct me if thats wrong - so could cause friction at some point in future. However I have a slightly mad plan, however if you dont try you dont know if, (& it is a big if) you may succeed! So here goes & anyone wishing to dam this please do: 1. Paint all the wounds with Arbrex - I know this is the stuff of Satan but.... 2. Wait until the correct desired time for pruning 3. Remove another 50cm or so 4. Wait & hope Or something like that? If it dosnt work, then yes fell & stump grind but at least you've tried something - Im prepared to be dammed for suggesting this but it may just work if there are a few supporting suggestions, perhaps at step 3 removing just half one year then half the year after, Im not sure. best wishes et bon courage! N
  19. Hi I suspect by the reaction of "this isn't a good thing for the industry" what they really mean is that it will in turn drive prices down, thus reducing their margins. Generally you have to go with your gut feeling on stuff like this, Id publish & be dammed you may be able to make revenue from advertising on the site. N
  20. Hi Oh la, that made me smile, Yes I think 562xp is about 1000 euro in Gamme Vert although they tend to be on the high side for price. Lambin are a bit cheaper & not far from Lille if the north France is close for you. Trononneuse Husqvarna 562XP en guide de 50cm On the subject of wine, its embarrassingly cheap, I recently got 10 litres of very drinkable rose for 13 euro or £10 when converted and 3-4 euros buys quite decent stuff! N
  21. Hi Felicitations et bon sante a tous! If I remember, its a very demanding time being a parent first time round, but then theres train sets, Thomas the Tank engine & 'my first chainsaw' My very best wishes for your new family N
  22. Hi Nathan, Thanks for the pics, nice work & good to see a bit of sunshine although it is starting to warm up here, I remember your thread 'possibly jumping ship' a while ago & it seems like you have done well for your self, well done. So is it Ace Tree Services next then? Best of luck anyway N
  23. Hi Time flys, good to hear your saw is working well, my friends Mac has also run fine & cuts quite well. N
  24. Hi Looks good to me, Im not a pro but do a fair bit of tree work & excellent in the way you got the job N
