  1. Difficult to say on here. On one hand you've got people on here slating stuff because it's chinese cr*p- such as the chinese chainsaws. And then the same people say stihl saws are the best thing since sliced bread- which are fitted with Zama chinese carbs and increasingly a load of other chinese sourced/made components. Depends if there's an "R" in the month and which way the winds blowing.

    ditto. I'll get my crystal ball out the next time you ask an "open" question then.
  3. The flexing of the chassis on the AV mounts causes the cable to tighten thus giving the impression the throttle has been deployed.
  4. The link I have provided is to probably one of the best. Not a great deal of demand, so your choices are limited.
  5. Practically very thick and therefore very hot and cumbersome- other than that just better chain speed protection (and the extra price of course)
  6. Stretch AIR Gladiator Chainsaw Trousers Type C | Clark Forest : Chainsaw Trousers Type C
  7. You do actually want to be able to move I take it?
  8. Maybe if you had read my question correctly- I'm not saying it's not impressive for a chainsaw carving- then maybe you could have attempted to give me an answer to it.

    ...so why the sarky comment when I said a Husqvarna dealer- if that wasn't specific enough for you???
  10. I would have thought if you were capable of finding an IPL online, then you were suitably qualified to find someone who can actually supply the part.
  11. More of a styling "chelsea tractor" exercise than a serious expedition vehicle by the looks of it.

    Ask the OP Mr G. Maybe if his response had been a bit more constructve then my answer may have been different. Just refer to my visitors message and read the last line.
  13. To be honest what you are paid is a plasterers labourers rate- not a self-employed skilled plasterer rate, which depending on your skill level, specialism and area of the country should be at least £100 up to and in excess of £250 in some cases.
  14. I agree. Certainly the first thing to check.

    ....maybe you should consider being a bit more specific then. "Ask a stupid question etc etc"

    A Husqvarna dealer maybe??
  17. .....obviously what you are missing is a big cock.
  18. ..which just makes it more ironic.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. ...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)
  25. Yup. I can sell CJ8's for £4.00 and RCJ8's for £5.00 all day long. No problem.
