I prefer mr beans way. So much easier. [ame=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H1mEqg8WArQ]Mr. Bean - CPR - YouTube[/ame]

D a tree surgeons has one. Pm him and ask him about it. I don't like them as I've seen him using one and I see it falling with a saw on it. He seems to be pulling it up all the time. The new ones seem to work loose. Could be were its new and needs wearing in a bit.

:lol: you were lucky then. Mine picked up the bar and chased me round the house with it. I then spent the next day sanding it down and re oiling the top.

How far behind was I then??

I've just started setting one up. How do you set your location. The map on contact us shows San Francisco and as much as I would love the move there I can't really say I live there yet?

Over 100,000 views and nearly 3,000 replies. Wy is this thread not a sticky yet?????

And that is where a lot of expense goes in security and ins. My biggest fear is tools going walk abouts. That's why most come home with me if I feel they will be unsafe. I have a space inside the house for machines. They have to get past the Alsatian before they c an get hold of any machines.

Well that would mean its actually 6mm :lol::lol::lol:

Melting quick here. Started to rain earlier. Must be time to get back working again then.

Also established that there is no split in the fuel line, based on the 2ft jet of petrol spraying out when I took the pipe off. Made a nice change to have a soft, flexible fuel line rather than the 1970s/80s ones I'm used to! Will only do this the once on the nice coffee table in the living room. Trust me

Ok here is one for the very knowledgable out there. Got an old 048av and I'm looking out for some av monts for it. It is an old yet very powerfull saw. So would be a shame to scrap it. I know the parts are obsolete now so would any other mounts fit it? Also have an issue with running on its side but its used for ringing up timber and not felling. Just for when the 088 is just too biq.

Hmmm. I've just noticed on the last pic that there is a promenant score mark on the drum where the needle bearing should be.... Good thought spud. Ha ethe chain ever been a pain to get adjusted right..? Not sure if the needle bearing could have come out when the carnage happend. It would be held back by the washer and clip on outside of drum and also but the clutch on the inside.. It would have to have been turned to dust. I'm with you spud and that's if there was a needle bearing there in the forst place....?

Fidly is not the word I would use Alec. The carb is really straight forward. Air filter, two 8mm nuts. And then the throttle rod. Oh and the PITA bit is having to take the black top part of the rear handle off as the carb will not slip past it. This is by a screw under the handle on the rear hand guard. Turn the saw over and you will see it. There is a small catch at the bottom of the carb for the handle part. Be carefull as the locking trigger spring will go flying if you take it off too quick. With this part off the carb will be easy to pull out. Once the fuel pipe is removed of course. The impulse line is behind the white plastic that sourounded the carb, this is not removable and is a pita when removing the pot. But you won't need to do that. I have had these lines also split and come clean off the ends. Check its connected before you go pulling everything apart. The best part is getting the handle back together once done. Enjoy Richard.

One from earlier at the lifeboat

Ok. Start with giving the carb a good clean out then.

Depends. If the crank seals are gone then it will die on throttle due to too much air getting into the crank when the throttle is pulled and the butterfly's open. Allowing too much air to fuel to go in in one go and stalling it out.

Sounds like air is greeting in. I've had it many times and it wa this. Could be needle valve aswell. Either not opening enough or too much. Pressure test and vac test.

Just buy a new tester. Thy dont cost too much. Or buy a decent one.

Just been out sledging and have managed to take out three girls with the sled. Something out of you've been framed came to mind.

I actually need to dig through my garden shed. Gawd knows how many tools are buried in there....... I'm just scared to. It wold take me a week just to get through the clutter.

SOS day coming up. Checking out the suit is ready.

Been snowing hard since early morning. When I le for lifeboat it was clear ish. Now it's just white.

Eddy I don't think I have made the money back from tools yet. It's one of those things that never ends really. Some break so pay for new ones. And others just build up. Spud you just reminded me of the spark tester. It wasn't that one, its the one in gardenkit avatar. So there is even more spend.

Because there in the scrap bin. :lol: At least it saves time having to strip one when you need some parts from it:biggrin:

Can you not get a new tank??? Might save a few quid. Not familiar with the saw so don't know the setup of tank to exhaust.
