Pm away bud. I'm not sure yet. It has ended up on my bench. The owner has said if its too much to repair he will let me have it. It was seized. I havnt had a good look at it and won't until Monday. But it's a watch this space moment I'm afraid.

Have you not got one that you can repair??? I may have one up soon but depends on what I do with it.

Sound alike your a bit jealous mendiplogs... No chance of any CCTV from the shop picking it up???? A video will help us decide....

A very good result. I can see they have worked hard to get him. Could hav e paid for my wedding tho.

For you desert rat. Safety Information: Petzl ZIGZAG mechanical prusik april 15th 2013 On Friday, April 12, Petzl was informed of an accidental fall in a training center in Germany. The injured person was moving at height using a Petzl ZIGZAG mechanical prusik. The first observations have shown that the fall was due to a failure of the rope end attachment hole. After hospitalization, the injured person returned home on April 14. We are deeply concerned and we wish him a very quick recovery. Current information regarding the accident (as of April 15): As of today, Petzl has been able to gather the following information: - photos of the Petzl ZIGZAG and the rope end attachment hole - a preliminary telephone account by the injured person This information seems to indicate that: - The upper carabiner may have been cantilevered and cross loaded - The injured person was descending while performing repeated, sudden stops while using the device in a training center. Nevertheless, to have a clearer vision of the accident's cause, Petzl is in contact with the injured person to obtain the following missing information and equipment as quickly as possible. - a description of the complete system used by the injured person - the ZIGZAG, the two connectors, the rope and any other devices that may have been used. Technical reminders - ZIGZAG design: - The ZIGZAG is CE-certified PPE and designed to resist static loads greater than 15 kN. - The side plates are constructed with the same materials and adhere to the same side plate requirements as similar products (ID, GRIGRI, RIG). - Use of connectors: A carabiner should always be loaded on its major axis. If it is cross-loaded, side-loaded or loaded off axis, it can: - break under low loads (ex: gate breakage at 1 to 2 kN) - or if cantilevered, it can transmit very high loads (4 to 5 times the applied load) - Note: Sudden stopping during a descent could transmit dynamic loads up to 3 to 4 kN. The combination of both incorrectly loaded carabiners and sudden stops could generate dynamic forces greater than 15 kN and exceed the minimum breaking strength of the attachment points of the connected device. On-going testing -Taking into account the information that we currently know of this incident, Petzl is now conducting a battery of tests to understand the precise causes of this accident. To date, our preliminary in-house tests do not show this potential failure even under high loads (cross-loaded, side-loaded or loaded off axis) of 10-15 kN. We are continuing different testing scenarios to try to understand the failure. Follow-up action and Recommendations -Petzl takes this accident and safety of its users very seriously. We will communicate the final results of our tests and our conclusions on our website by Tuesday, April 23, 2013. - Until then, you can continue to use your ZIGZAG in accordance with the technical notice, ensuring that the attachment carabiner remains oriented on their major axis. - As an additional measure of precaution, we recommend that you put in place a connector retaining solution that keeps the connectors oriented on their major axis. Reminder: We draw your attention to the following points, which are applicable to all metallic PPE: - Inspect before use: - the absence of cracks or fissures - the absence of product deformation. Here is an example of a ZIGZAG that should be retired But can't upload the picture of the zig zag example.

Wasn't too keen on the zig zag when I first saw it. Kind of still the same. Not sure if I would ever buy one. Might try one first. Can't see this isolated incident beign an excuse to not get one. I have read the report and it comes accross to me that they are trying to avoid any claim that it was the zig zag at fault. But rather pointing at a carab fault. Just they way I have read it.

Ding my head in now. Was cold this morning. Then sunny and warm. Then hail stones. Now just cold..........

Ok. Under the CE mark is 06. Is this the date?

That sounds about right. Going to start on the greenmech feed rollers afternoon. Need changing. Pic follow later. Got a 200t coming in later aswell. Seized. I know what piston I'm replacing that with

Well. I use a cm220 for when I'm ground working. Using it for 3 years now. The machine actually belongs to D A tree surgeons. But it's my responsibility to ensure its running and maintained. Seeing as I spend most days behind it when I'm not in workshop. I love it Expect a cheque in the post soon. :lol: That is a low punch. Paying members to say good things about them.... Not sure why anyone would believe it..

Did you get it sorted?

Timber wolf. Jensen. But nothing compares to the greenmech IMO. Fantastic bits of kit. Havnt noticed anything on the 220. Oil filter is a PITA to get to to change but that's the only bad thing I can think of. Oh peteb can you send me an idea of a cost for a new clock. Ours has gone back to 0 for some reason. Just serviced it so not overly bothered but if it does it again will lose track of hours.

Hope it doesn't come with the grinder That's a neat looking wheel by the way.

I love the 048av. Damn big saw. Heavy but just goes. They do have a tendency to leak from the clutch side crank seals if used sideways a lot. And have had to make up the exhaust studs after it pulled out the original ones. But still love it and it just pulls through timber.

Yeah they do. Well into the blade housing. Smokes like a chimney when its cold and first fired up. Will check the date tommorow but I don't think I will beat the 90s.

Aahhhh sounds like music to my ears. Note to self. Next time I'm working on it remove exhaust and run machine.

Sorry hard to see. Depends on what finish you want. I don't generally file them down unless they are on the cylinder mating surface. Some I do as it looks tidy and clean but not until I have tested the saw to ensure all is good.

Something in my head saying 2002.... Will have a look tommorow. It's a cm220. Need to check the dates.

Not in this country you don't. Now get some cover on before you start a pandemic.....

Fuel starvation. There is something not right. Could also be air leaking in past the carb. Is the carb gaskets in tact? With the carb check the diaphragms are all good and no splits or cracks in them by holding up to a bright light. More checks require more tools. Like vac testing etc.

Metering arm height. If the car is not a fault then I would check spark. As soon as it stops take the plug out and check. Does it not start again until cool or does it fire straight back up again??

Well after the clean out and I managed to sort the pull start out aswell. So to start with the pull start I decided that abit of hill billy engineering was in play. So welded to the lugs a bit and filed it flat again. It now catches perfectly and every time. The cutter runs perfectly. A good clean revealed some crap in the carb. So wouldn't tune on the high screw. Also sorted out an ms250. Not running. So used my new shiny zama and Walbro setting tools and set the meter arm hight. Runs like a dream. Also had time to look at an ms200t not oiling the chain. A good clean and all good.

That would normally be associated with a naff coil. Gets hot and stops working. Replacement.

:lol::lol: I just got tea up my nose..... Sorry its seems a serious question but the above made me laugh. Oh and one you forgot. "Never eat yellow snow"
