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

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! 🙄

...everybody is somebodies customer

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.

...and untrained occasional users. That is why most if not all chaps in the UK are all round protection as it's the hobbyist they are mainly designed for. Even I use type C on the ground when I an testing customers chainsaws. You can't have enough protection with those things IMO.

Most of my weekend warriors budget chainsaw clothing is jeans, an old t-shirt and flip-flops

Should be flipped every two or three chains. Never understood why Stihl and such like don't invert their logo on one side of the bar. Can display it with the logo the correct way up in the showroom with the inverted side behind so it doesn't look odd, but once purchased in will invoke a reaction from the customer as to why one side is a different way up...an explanation would then encourage the bar to be flipped to even wear.

Don't make kids like they used to eh? 😉

Unusual for us to get really big saws in, as we tend to focus on the well heeled weekend warrior. However, we had a very low hours husqvarna 395xp plonked on the counter...domestic user with big logs apparently. Wanted it serviced...on off switch hasnt been working, so has been pulling the choke out to stop it. Has now broken the choke lever so has been trying to stop it with a damp rag over the muffler outlet! We thought, thats a saw we havent seen the size of for sometime....then half an hour later an old boy comes in.....said he used to work for lewisham council in charge of buying maintenance kit and selling it off when council deemed it end of life...which was 3 years. Told me he was 76 and had trouble walking and would i help him out the car with it. Open boot and he's got this huge stihl 076av with a four foot bar on it. I have two of these he said...oh and an 038 and an 020 topper. Got them off the council pre auction. I said i take it you dont use them anymore...what do you want a price or something. Oh no...im halfway through a job and its sprung a fuel leak! Would use my other 076 but couldnt get that one to start. This guy was frail and half my size....and i struggled to lift it out the boot. Side by side made the 395 look minute. Pic is of my 13 year old daughter and she's tall for her age....made her look small!
