If you need a sealant thats oil and fuel resistant, then this is what we have used for the last ten years or so. TB1215 - ThreeBond THREEBOND-EUROPE.COM

Apologies.....HP Ultra.
-
Personally at home I use the Super HP.....this is fully synthetic as apposed to the basic green which is a semi synthetic. The HP is supposed to offer higher protection at the more extreme end of usage....plus it has an inhibitor added to prevent the quick deterioration of the crap unleaded fuel we now have. Like i say, i use it personally at home as opposed to the standard green Stihl oil because it doesnt cost me a lot, and a litre of it for use in my garden will last me a couple of years.

Vehicle needs to have a current V5 and be 'road worthy' ie can legally be driven on the road. If the vehicle it is on, would fail an mot (whether legally it needs one or not) you cannot transfer the number. Once the 'donor' vehicle can legally be used on the road, then you can transfer the number to another vehicle or on to a retention document for future allocation or sale. There have been some very valuable numbers been lost due to the vehicle they are on being beyond an economical repair even taking into account the value of the plate. Additionally, certain categories of vehicle you cannot transfer plates across to. For example agricultural vehicles with decent plates may not automatically be transferred on to a car

Dirko is good stuff...but a pig to get off your fingers afterwards.....and everything elso on the engine you touch!

The product is identical. It was a part numbering change to keep parts for the 200 series a uniform prefix. The 4119 prefix was made an obsolete prefix for the 200 series

..slept in what, exactly??

Part number 4119 034 3003 is the earlier, previous number for 1114 034 3001. 4119 034 3003 now supercedes to use part number 1114 034 3001. Both piston rings are the same part number- so you need to order Qty 2 1114 034 3001 and you will be fine. Haven't checked what L&C are charging, but from Stihl the rrp including vat is £6.36 per ring. Hope that helps.

We sell a lot of Stihl (50:1) 2 stroke oil to owners of these little chinese pit bikes, and RC planes and cars without any issues. As previously mentioned, never use marine 2-stroke oil though.....and never buy generic unbranded 2-stroke oil from places like screwfix, b and q and garden centres that give no specific dilution ratio ON THE BOTTLE. If it states 'consult operators manual' on the bottle...bin it. Its is the manufacturer of the oil...not the machine that knows the recommened and correct ratio for THIER oil. Stihl green is good, and popular. Low smoke and low carbon build up. Was specifically manufacturer for the Stihl 4-mix low revving engines....if you run one of those, then thats the oil you must use. Seen too many carboned plugs, exhaust ports and pistons on those that havent used it.

Dont tell everyone.....thats a 25 quid job at my place!

ahhhh.....but do you sell the 'thingy' seperately though? 😁

Remove plug cap from ht lead....it will slide off now the spring isnt fitted. Then with the bare end of the ht lead you will see a puncture hole where the wire was fitted into. Relocate the sharp pin end of the wire back into the hole in the ht lead. Get some wd40 and spray end of lead and inside rubber cap. Hold wire and ht lead in place using needle nose pliers. Then push the round end of the wire back into the small entrance hole in the rubber ht cap until you feel it pop 'home' in the head of the cap. Look inside cap to ensure round end of wire is located correctly to fit top of plug. If not gently rotate with pliers until it is.

Depends on the area, but a decent hayterette would be my shout. Only a 19" cut though, but fine for domestic area use. Probably the best mower hayter ever made
-
Will give them a try.
-
We use dremels with a stone attachment unless theres impact damage to the cutting edges most teeth really just need the gum and varnish build up removed rather than the need to remove too much steel

Method for getting consistent lengths when hand cutting logs?
pleasant replied to Elliott.F's topic in Firewood forum
You say you are hand sawing, so maybe i misread, but a lot of suggestings if you are using a chainsaw....but that doesnt seem to be the case, being hand sawing. If you are using a hand saw, then in the past i have used one of those pen like telescopic magnetic pick up tools. Pull it out to the required length, then put some tape around that section so it doesnt go back in, and the attach the magnetic end to the hand saw 'blade' start cutting and simple remove the pick up tool to allow u to cut through the full cut. Then repeat for the next cut -
Bit of advice someone gave me once, was to make magnetic signs fit the exact size of the recess (assuming you have one) on the side of your van. Looks more professional, but importantly doesnt look as obvious it is a magnetic sign, so the take what they likeys arent interested. You may need to trim the corners to fit any curves in the recess but worth the trouble

Pity. Ive got a stihl 048 that needs a run out after a rebuild and will have an 076 that will need the same....if i can find a cylinder and piston at sensible money!

SE london/kent

.....so is it a race tuned saw then?
-
If you were closer I would be more than happy to come over and give one of my many old school shelf queens a run out for no charge at all. Never get much opportunity to cut up a large diameter trunk of late

Hiring chainsaws from hire companies pretty much ceased 10 or so years ago. Hse put paid to it....by stipulating on top of providing all the safety kit with the saw. Bar length couldnt exceed 14" and all saws had to be hired with a brand new chain fitted. They used to simply re-sharpen a chain that had been used for a bit of weekend warrior work. Cost to hire the saw, with a new chain, and all the safety kit with insurance waiver started to cost near to £100 for that sort of money you can buy an electric or nearly buy a cheap petrol one new

Will probably sell for more than F R Jones were charging........and í'm not joking! 🙄 -

Only one we had do similar was a little msa140 and that was a tight motor bearing. You could hear a momentary high pitched faint electrical whine and the sprocket would jump forward by a mm if not less.
