Echo CS-260TES: [30045-english]CS-260TES | ECHO global and the Efco MT2600 (minus the echo specified primer bulb): Snoei kettingzaag efco mt2600 - Te koop | 2dehands.be Zenoah G2500: Zenoah Top Handle Chainsaw On the producation line in Italy where Efcos ARE made they have several production lines producing the same saws just in differing colour schemes for each of their customers.
-
Be careful when someone tells you that AMA are an Italian company- AMA ARE based in Italy, but these saws are Chinese sourced and not made in Italy. They are a generic saw that has been sticker branded with unpteen different importers names. I'm only mentioning this because having read most posters' opinions of chinese saws (including thefake Stihl/Huskys) of the poor safety features, quality and reliability it would appear most are against entertaing such a prospect. Just a thought.
-
You'll find that most, if not all the top-handled offerings from Echo, Tanaka, Zenoah et al are re-badged Efco chainsaws. Save even more money and just buy the Efco model and cut out the middle mans profit margin.

Would it be unfair/impractical to have two price-lists, one for sale and one for parts used during repairs? ....both, and bordering illegal according to trading standards. However there are exceptions. We charge more pro-rata per litre of engine oil when we use it during a service than if someone comes and buys the oil off the shelf. We can justify the extra cost as we have an environmental charge included in the service oil price as it cost us to dispose of the old oil. We could always show the environmental charge as a seperate costing on the invoice (as some do) however we feel once this additional charge is noticed by the customer it will cause unnessary problems for us.

Originally, it used to be that a hamlet was an area of population that had no church. A village was effectively a hamlet that had a church. A town was a village that the reigning monarch decreed could hold a market. A city had to have a cathedral, but that no longer applies, since towns can now simply apply for city status. Only the monarch can change the status of a town to a city- hence the short-list of towns that have applied for city status in this jubilee year.

...if people want to self-diagnose before they eventually give it to me after they've wasted £15 then good luck to me. That's business. Last year I had two cases of the insulator detaching from the body of the plug and sliding down onto the electrode- thus causing issues, but was not obvious immediately as most people when they inspect a plug tend to look at it upside down- and of course the insulator then slid back into situ. Several breaking down under load and when hot. And more than a dozen in Honda GCV160 engine (common fault at the moment according to my last Honda seminar last year)
-
Yup. I can sell CJ8's for £4.00 and RCJ8's for £5.00 all day long. No problem.

Whats so special about the ms200 rear handle saw?
pleasant replied to swinny's topic in General chat
Probably one of the most lightweight and well balanced ground saws available. Power to weight ratio is excellent. I love mine just to use for saw horse cutting firewood once a year, so has had really light use and is immaculate. I keep getting asked how much I want for it. -
Populus Alba. Although brown colour is unusual.
-
Check the condition and gap of the plug - 25 thou is about normal! Yup...but I would add that the plug could be breaking down when warm/hot, so the gap and visual inspection would not necessarily rule out a faulty plug. For a fiver I would put a plug in anyway.

True Mr G (reading between the lines and all that)

I would have thought a loud mouth alcoholic with no money, and who only knows people within walking distance of where he's probably spent most of his sad little life is not the kind of person the majority of self-respecting and financially solvent potential customers would take any notice of anyway.

I assume you've checked the guts of the spark plug are all intact?
-
Well, assuming the valve(s) are seating correctly, then at only 60psi I would certainly start inspecting the internals (piston/ring/barrel etc)
-
Anything below 100psi is junk. 100-130psi it should start, and ideally you want 150psi+
-
Do a compression test first.

Common problem on the 4-mix engine, and Stihl know of it. I wrote off one of my customers engine because of the same fault and cost of repair (very badly damaged) and he complained to Stihl even though it was out of warranty and they collected it and repaired it free of charge for him. ...anyway- have you done a compression test?
-
You mean this?? http://www.jonsered.ws/181.pdf

.325" or 3/8" chain? .325" is std but you can have a 3/8" option.

Rung customer yesterday afternoon and explained what I had found and that it wasn't covered under warranty as I didn't consider the failure of the pump a manufacturing defect- due to the oil issue I have already alluded to. He did admit lending the saw to a friend who didn't have any chain oil, so he decanted some of his own into his friends container that had previously been used to contain old engine oil, but he assured me there was hardly any left and felt it difficult to believe I was going to charge him for the repair. When I said I had kept a sample of what was in the resevoir and it was blacker than a black thing and as thick as water he reluctantly said "he would pay on this occasion" How generous some people are.

If you aint getting paid you very quickly forget about getting the odd cold or "man flu" Been working now for over 30 years and only had four days off work through sickness. However it all depends on your illness doesn't it?
