Yup...Seen that as well. With bio though it is GUARANTEED to gum up. Normal stuff...less so.

I wasn't referring to the 'cagey' side of things......just the point you made about why people question your rates...You said if it's extortionate, fair enough. What I may consider is extortionate could well be completely different to what you consider fair.....hence why people question.

We kept getting asked to keep the Stihl bio chain oil from our more domestic 'enviro green friendly' customers despite our warnings as to the fact it is crap for your saw. So we relented, and the weekend warriors purchased....used their saw to cut up a few logs for that winters wood burner and put it away until the following year......then had all the saws back in for flushing out and re-filled with 'proper' chain oil coz they were all 'gummed up' ...actually, thinking about it I should really sell a load more coz it was a good earner for us having to clean those saws out. 👍

'You just invoice the client for that person's rate. If it's extortionate, fair enough to question' ...because one mans perception of 'extortionate' is another mans 'fair'

Best you take your gloves off before you have a number one......that would take some explaining to the missus 😄

Ok mate. No worries. Just mail me and send a couple pics on the message platform on here and we can take it from there.

Stihl synth plus chain oil is rheopectic- the opposite of thixotropic. What's the first thing you do before you open a bottle of sauce, such as ketchup? You shake it, so it pours easier (thixotropic) so it gets thinner the more it is agitated. Stihl synth plus oil is the opposite of this (rheopectic) when not being agitated by being flung around a rotating chain it stays very fluid, so it flows easier through the pump, oil holes and the bar itself (unlike traditional chain oils) but then thickens up like a traditional chain oil once on the chain and agitated. I found this out quite a few years ago when customers complained the 5l cans they were buying sounded very 'watery' inside when picked up.

Still a footpath in my world. Which can be anything from paved, tarmac, brick, cobbles, grass, mud, stone or whatever you fancy. Can be anywhere along a road, carriageway, town, city, countryside...or indeed whereever a specific area is designed for foot travel. Pretty much covers it. Footway...like you, never come across that and sidewalk is an American word for footpath predominantly located alongside a carriageway. -

Yes, of course it will state acceptable English, because they speak English in America, and like you have already stated UK English it is Recognisable (no Zee or Zed -UK) Sidewalk is English, but not UK English. -

OK, can you PM me some pics. Chat on there. Cheers.

I must have a couple of dozen shelf queens classic saws which i show- stihl 090 028avs echo twin a couple of pioneers etc etc so yes i am a collector. Would be happy to have it in my collection if its presentable. Rather keep the old stuff going tbh

I try to relate to customers the scenario whereby they want the thickest nylon line fitted on thier brush cutters, because it keeps snapping. Yes, well it is designed to snap...if it never did, then something else up the drive train will and that will certainly be more expensive than using the recommended size line in the first place. If you consider your chain whizzing around the bar as the nylon line, then the thicker/larger/heavier the chain, then more grunt the 'engine' needs to rotate it at the required speed to do the job. Heavier/thicker line added to an average sized brush cutter will simply slow the rotational speed down, so although it won't break quite as much, it will certainly not cut as well........the same can be said for a chain rotating around a bar on a saw.

They are pretty good tbh. Did have a lot of gearbox issues on those, but apparently since been beefed up and issues hopefully sorted. You are restricted to a very small dealer base though if you need Weibang specific spares, such as a blade and they don't make spares readily available unless a dealer also stocks the machines, so a decent dealer that has an account with the people who supply Weibang, that also sell some of the other brands they import cannot order you a blade for example if they are not already a weibang machinery stockist.

Not sure what you are hoping to prove by doing that to be honest.

Remember going to the Transatlantic at brands and walking around the old pits behind the stands. There was Ron with his leathers at half mast tied around his waist with his bare chest out leaning over his bike tank saying to his pit crew they would have to dent the top of his tank in so his gut would fit in it! This is back in the late 70s early 80's with Randy Mamola, Barry Sheene, Mick Grant, Kenny Roberts, Agostini etc

Hmmm....be careful around male celebrities in the 70s at 11 years old. 🤥

Bobby Barnes. When he retired from wrestling he bought our local newsagents and ran that for a few years when I was young. Nicked a mucky mag from there once...and got away with it. I was the toast of the lads in my class afterwards, coz you had yo be pretty brave to nick something from Bobby Barnes. 😁

remember that type of thing happening on the old Stihl 010/011/012 models. Was a special tool to hold them in place.
